The emerging field of signal processing on graph plays a more and more important role in processing signals and information related to networks. Existing works have shown that under certain conditions a smooth graph signal can be uniquely reconstructed from its decimation, i.e., data associated with a subset of vertices. However, in some potential applications (e.g., sensor networks with clustering structure), the obtained data may be a combination of signals associated with several vertices, rather than the decimation. In this paper, we propose a new concept of local measurement, which is a generalization of decimation. Using the local measurements, a local-set-based method named iterative local measurement reconstruction (ILMR) is proposed to reconstruct bandlimited graph signals. It is proved that ILMR can reconstruct the original signal perfectly under certain conditions. The performance of ILMR against noise is theoretically analyzed. The optimal choice of local weights and a greedy algorithm of local set partition are given in the sense of minimizing the expected reconstruction error. Compared with decimation, the proposed local measurement sampling and reconstruction scheme is more robust in noise existing scenarios.
As far as we know, there is no work on reconstructing graph signals from local measurements. The idea of local measurements can be traced back to time-domain nonuniform sampling @cite_42 , or irregular sampling @cite_38 @cite_28 , which has a close relationship with graph signal sampling and reconstruction. For the signals in time-domain @cite_3 @cite_6 , shift-invariant space @cite_14 , or on manifolds @cite_11 @cite_21 , based on the theoretical results of signal reconstruction from samples, there has been extended works on reconstructing signals from local averages. However, there is no such work on graph-signal-related problems.

Signal processing on graph is attracting more and more attentions. For a graph signal in the low-frequency subspace, the missing data associated with unsampled vertices can be reconstructed through the sampled data by exploiting the smoothness of the graph signal. In this paper, the concept of local set is introduced and two local-set-based iterative methods are proposed to reconstruct bandlimited graph signal from sampled data. In each iteration, one of the proposed methods reweights the sampled residuals for different vertices, while the other propagates the sampled residuals in their respective local sets. These algorithms are built on frame theory and the concept of local sets, based on which several frames and contraction operators are proposed. We then prove that the reconstruction methods converge to the original signal under certain conditions and demonstrate the new methods lead to a significantly faster convergence compared with the baseline method. Furthermore, the correspondence between graph signal sampling and time-domain irregular sampling is analyzed comprehensively, which may be helpful to future works on graph signals. Computer simulations are conducted. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the reconstruction methods in various sampling geometries, imprecise priori knowledge of cutoff frequency, and noisy scenarios. Signal processing on graph is attracting more and more attention. For a graph signal in the low-frequency subspace, the missing data on the vertices of graph can be reconstructed through the sampled data by exploiting the smoothness of graph signal. In this paper, two iterative methods are proposed to reconstruct bandlimited graph signal from sampled data. In each iteration, one of the proposed methods weights the sampled residual for different vertices, while the other conducts a limited propagation operation. Both the methods are proved to converge to the original signal under certain conditions. The proposed methods lead to a significantly faster convergence compared with the baseline method. Experiment results of synthetic graph signal and the real world data demonstrate the effectiveness of the reconstruction methods. We treat the problem of reconstructing a signal from its nonideal samples where the sampling and reconstruction spaces as well as the class of input signals can be arbitrary subspaces of a Hilbert space. Our formulation is general, and includes as special cases reconstruction from finitely many samples as well as uniform-sampling of continuous-time signals, which are not necessarily bandlimited. To obtain a good approximation of the signal in the reconstruction space from its samples, we suggest two design strategies that attempt to minimize the squared-norm error between the signal and its reconstruction. The approaches we propose differ in their assumptions on the input signal: If the signal is known to lie in an appropriately chosen subspace, then we propose a method that achieves the minimal squared error. On the other hand, when the signal is not restricted, we show that the minimal-norm reconstruction cannot generally be obtained. Instead, we suggest minimizing the worst-case squared error between the reconstructed signal, and the best possible (but usually unattainable) approximation of the signal within the reconstruction space. We demonstrate both theoretically and through simulations that the suggested methods can outperform the consistent reconstruction approach previously proposed for this problem. A new scheme to sample signals defined on the nodes of a graph is proposed. The underlying assumption is that such signals admit a sparse representation in a frequency domain related to the structure of the graph, which is captured by the so-called graph-shift operator. Instead of using the value of the signal observed at a subset of nodes to recover the signal in the entire graph, the sampling scheme proposed here uses as input observations taken at a single node. The observations correspond to sequential applications of the graph-shift operator, which are linear combinations of the information gathered by the neighbors of the node. When the graph corresponds to a directed cycle (which is the support of time-varying signals), our method is equivalent to the classical sampling in the time domain. When the graph is more general, we show that the Vandermonde structure of the sampling matrix, critical when sampling time-varying signals, is preserved. Sampling and interpolation are analyzed first in the absence of noise, and then noise is considered. We then study the recovery of the sampled signal when the specific set of frequencies that is active is not known. Moreover, we present a more general sampling scheme, under which, either our aggregation approach or the alternative approach of sampling a graph signal by observing the value of the signal at a subset of nodes can be both viewed as particular cases. Numerical experiments illustrating the results in both synthetic and real-world graphs close the paper.
