Compressive Sensing - A New Framework for Computational Signal Processing

Richard Baraniuk
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Rice University

Sensors, signal processing hardware, and algorithms are under increasing pressure to accommodate ever larger and higher-dimensional data sets; ever faster capture, sampling, and processing rates; ever lower power consumption; communication over ever more difficult channels; and radically new sensing modalities. Fortunately, over the past few decades, there has been an enormous increase in computational power and data storage capacity, which provide a new angle to tackle these challenges. In this talk, I will overview some of the recent progress and open problems in "Compressive Sensing", an emerging field based on the revelation that a small collection of nonadaptive (even random) linear projections of a compressible signal or image contain enough information for signal reconstruction and processing. The implications of CS are promising for many applications and enable the design of new kinds of analog-to-digital converters, imaging systems and cameras, and distributed source coding algorithms for sensor networks.
