Abstract-This article deals with learning dictionaries for sparse approximation whose atoms are both adapted to a training set of signals and mutually incoherent. To meet this objective, we employ a dictionary learning scheme consisting of sparse approximation followed by dictionary update and we add to the latter a decorrelation step in order to reach a target mutual coherence level. This step is accomplished by an iterative projection method complemented by a rotation of the dictionary. Experiments on musical audio data and a comparison with the method of optimal coherence-constrained directions (MOCOD) and the incoherent K-SVD (INK-SVD) illustrate that the proposed algorithm can learn dictionaries that exhibit a low mutual coherence while providing a sparse approximation with better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than the benchmark techniques. Index Terms-Dictionary learning, iterative projections, mutual coherence, sparse approximation.
For instance, the work reported in REF proposed to deal with learning dictionary by adding the decorrelation step in order to reach a target mutual coherence level.
