Towards this end, a single-task Bayesian compressive sensing (ST-BCS) solver is exploited to retrieve a preliminary guess of the unknown contrast distribution within an inaccessible domain. Then, a filtering process is used to filter out the "less reliable" contrast coefficients from the BCS guess. Finally, a customized matrix completion (MC) procedure is adopted in order to complete the retrieved images and achieve significant accuracy improvements under high levels of noise on processed data. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology some representative numerical benchmarks are presented considering different targets and noise levels. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2018 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/785/1/A%20%20Matrix%20Completion%20Approach%20to%20Image%20Sparse%20Targets%20under%20the%20First%E2%80%90Order%20Born%20Approximation.pdf identifier: Oliveri, G. and Salucci, M. and Anselmi, N.
