42 LMI relaxations Constraints are handled Convergence to optimum is guaranteed Applies to all polynomials, not SOS as well

43 A maximization problem Note that: a.Feasible set is non-convex. b.Constraints are quadratic Feasible set

44 LMI – linear matrix inequality, a reminder

45 Goal An SDP: Motivation Polynomial Optimization Problem SDP with solution close to global optimum of the original problem What is it good for? SDP problems can be solved much more efficiently then general optimization problems.

46 POP Linear + LMI + rank constraints SDP LMI: LMI Relaxations is iterative process Step 1: introduce new variables Step 2: relax constraints Apply higher order relaxations

47 LMI relaxation – step 1 Replace monomials by “lifting variables” Rule: Example: (the R 2 case)

48 Introducing lifting variables Lifting

49 Not equivalent to the original problem. Lifting variables are not independent in the original problem: New problem is linear, in particular convex

50 Goal, more specifically Linear problem (obtained by lifing) “relations constraints” on lifting variables + SDP Relaxation

51 Question: how do we guarantee that the relations between lifting variables hold?

52 LMI relaxation – step 2 Apply lifting and get: Take the basis of the degree 1 polynomials. Note that: Because:

53 If the relations constraints hold then This is because we can decompose M as follows: Assuming relations hold Rank M = 1

54 We’ve seen: Relations constraints hold What about the opposite: Relations constraints hold This is true as well

55 By the following: LMI relaxation – step 2, continued Relations constraints hold All relations equalities are in the set of equalities

56 Conclusion of the analysis The “y feasible set” Subset of feasible set with Relations constraints hold

57 Original problem is equivalent to the following: together with the additional constraint Relaxation, at last We denote moment matrix of order 1 Relax by dropping the non-convex constraint

58 LMI relaxation of order 1 Feasible set

59 Rank constrained LMI vs. unconstrained

60 LMI relaxations of higher order It turns out that we can do better: Apply LMI relaxations of higher order A tighter SDP Relaxations of higher order incorporate the inequality constraints in LMI We show relaxation of order 2 It is possible to continue and apply relaxations Theory guarantees convergence to global optimum

61 Let be a basis of polynomials of degree 2. Again, Lifting gives: Again, we will relax by dropping the rank constraint. LMI relaxations of second order

62 Inequality constraints to LMI Replace our constraints by LMIs and have a tighter relaxation. Linear Constraint : Lifting LMI Constraint : For example,

63 This procedure brings a new SDP LMI relaxations of order 2 Second SDP feasible set is included in the first SDP feasible set Silimarly, we can continue and apply higher order relaxations.

64 If the feasible set defined by constraints is compact, then under mild additional assumptions, Lassere proved in 2001 that there is an asymptotic convergence guarantee: is the solution to k’th relaxation is the solution for the original problem (finding a maximum) Theoretical basis for the LMI relaxations Moreover, convergence is fast: is very close to for small k Lasserre J.B. (2001) "Global optimization with polynomials and the problem of moments" SIAM J. Optimization 11, pp 796--817.

65 The method provides a certificate of global optimality: An important experimental observation: SDP solution is global optimum Minimizing Low rank moment matrix Checking global optimality

66 We add to the objective function the trace of the moment matrix weighted by a sufficiently small positive scalar

67 LMI relaxations in vision Application

68 outline  Motivation and Introduction  Background Positive SemiDefinite matrices (PSD) Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) SemiDefinite Programming (SDP)  Relaxations Sum Of Squares (SOS) relaxation Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) relaxation  Application in vision Finding optimal structure Partial relaxation and Schur ’ s complement

69 Camera center Image plane Finding optimal structure A perspective camera P is the camera matrix and is the depth. Measured image points are corrupted by independent Gaussian noise. We want to minimize the least squares errors between measured and projected points. The relation between a U in the 3D space and u in the image plane is given by:

70 We therefore have the following optimization problem: is the Euclidean distance. is the set of unknowns Where are polynomials. Each term in the cost function can be written as: Our objective is therefore to minimize a sum of rational functions.

71 How can we turn the optimization problem into a polynomial optimization problem? Suppose that each term in has an upper bound, then Then our optimization problem is equivalent to the following: This is a polynomial optimization problem, for which we apply LMI relaxations. Note that we introduced many new variables – one for each term.

72 Problem: an SDP with a large number of variables can be computationally demanding. A large number of variables can arise from: LMI relaxations of high order Introduction of new variables as we’ve seen This is where partial relaxations come in. For that we introduce Schur’s complement. Partial Relaxations

73 Schur’s comlement Set:

74 Schur’s comlement - applying Derivation of right side: C - B T * A -1 * B > 0

75 Schur’s complement allows us to state our optimization problem as follows: Partial relaxations The only non-linearity is due to We can apply LMI relaxations only on and leave If we were to apply full relaxations for all variables, the problem would become Intractable for small N.

76 Partial relaxations Disadvantage of partial relaxations: we are not able to ensure asymptotic convergence to the global optimum. However, we have a numerical certificate of global optimality just as in the case of full relaxations: The moment matrix of the relaxed variables is of rank one Solution of partially relaxed problem is the global optimum

77 Full relaxation vs. partial relaxtion Application: Triangulation, 3 cameras Goal: find the optimal 3D point. Camera matrices are known, measured point is assumed to be in the origin of each view. Camera matrices:
