SSA-FARY SE is a simple yet powerful novel method to estimate a suitable temporal basis for subspace reconstructions of time-series data from a potentially very small auto-calibration region.
FIG_2: Comparison of the single-slice temporal subspace reconstruction with a rank $$$N_\text{b}=30$$$ subspace estimated using PCA (left) and SSA-FARY SE (right). The movie shows a 1.8s snippet of the full time-series. The snippet corresponds to the time-frames highlighted by the orange box in FIG_3. (The movie of the full time-series could not be included here due to file-size limits.)
FIG_4: Real- and imaginary part of the six most significant temporal basis functions $$$T\,1\;-\;T\,6$$$ and the corresponding complex image coefficients for PCA (left) and SSA-FARY SE (right). The temporal basis functions are provided by the columns of the matrix $$$U$$$, see Step 2 of the theory section.
