UPR: A Model-Driven Architecture for Deep Phase Retrieval

The problem of phase retrieval has been intriguing researchers for decades due to its appearance in a wide range of applications. The task of a phase retrieval algorithm is typically to recover a signal from linear phase-less measurements. In this paper, we approach the problem by proposing a hybrid model-based data-driven deep architecture, referred to as the Unfolded Phase Retrieval (UPR), that shows potential in improving the performance of the state-of-the-art phase retrieval algorithms. Specifically, the proposed method benefits from versatility and interpretability of well established model-based algorithms, while simultaneously benefiting from the expressive power of deep neural networks. Our numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of such hybrid deep architectures and showcase the untapped potential of data-aided methodologies to enhance the existing phase retrieval algorithms.
