In a previous question of mine, Creating Convolution Matrix of 2D Kernel for Different Shapes of Convolution, among answers of the great Matt I came up with the following code:
function [ mK ] = CreateConvMtx2DSparse( mH, numRows, numCols, convShape )
CONVOLUTION_SHAPE_FULL = 1;
CONVOLUTION_SHAPE_SAME = 2;
CONVOLUTION_SHAPE_VALID = 3;
numColsKernel = size(mH, 2);
numBlockMtx = numColsKernel;
cBlockMtx = cell(numBlockMtx, 1);
for ii = 1:numBlockMtx
cBlockMtx{ii} = CreateConvMtxSparse(mH(:, ii), numRows, convShape);
end
switch(convShape)
case(CONVOLUTION_SHAPE_FULL)
% For convolution shape - 'full' the Doubly Block Toeplitz Matrix
% has the first column as its main diagonal.
diagIdx = 0;
numRowsKron = numCols + numColsKernel - 1;
case(CONVOLUTION_SHAPE_SAME)
% For convolution shape - 'same' the Doubly Block Toeplitz Matrix
% has the first column shifted by the kernel horizontal radius.
diagIdx = floor(numColsKernel / 2);
numRowsKron = numCols;
case(CONVOLUTION_SHAPE_VALID)
% For convolution shape - 'valid' the Doubly Block Toeplitz Matrix
% has the first column shifted by the kernel horizontal length.
diagIdx = numColsKernel - 1;
numRowsKron = numCols - numColsKernel + 1;
end
vI = ones(min(numRowsKron, numCols), 1);
mK = kron(spdiags(vI, diagIdx, numRowsKron, numCols), cBlockMtx{1});
for ii = 2:numBlockMtx
diagIdx = diagIdx - 1;
mK = mK + kron(spdiags(vI, diagIdx, numRowsKron, numCols), cBlockMtx{ii});
end
end
The code is running pretty fast.
But I think there might be ways to improve it farther, specifically in the following lines:
vI = ones(min(numRowsKron, numCols), 1);
mK = kron(spdiags(vI, diagIdx, numRowsKron, numCols), cBlockMtx{1});
for ii = 2:numBlockMtx
diagIdx = diagIdx - 1;
mK = mK + kron(spdiags(vI, diagIdx, numRowsKron, numCols), cBlockMtx{ii});
end
This code snippet basically creates a block matrix form the sparse matrices in the cell array cBlockMtx. Where the diagonal of the first element in cBlockMtx is defiend by diagIdx.
Is there a more efficient way to generate this matrix? The main issue is that each time generating kron(spdiags(vI, diagIdx, numRowsKron, numCols), cBlockMtx{ii}) requires a lot of memory.
