Sparse Signal Representation, Sampling, and Recovery in Compressive Sensing Frameworks

Abstract

Compressive sensing allows the reconstruction of original signals from a much smaller number of samples as compared to the Nyquist sampling rate. The effectiveness of compressive sensing motivated the researchers for its deployment in a variety of application areas. The use of an efficient sampling matrix for high-performance recovery algorithms improves the performance of the compressive sensing framework significantly. This paper presents the underlying concepts of compressive sensing as well as previous work done in targeted domains in accordance with the various application areas. To develop prospects within the available functional blocks of compressive sensing frameworks, a diverse range of application areas are investigated. The three fundamental elements of a compressive sensing framework (signal sparsity, subsampling, and reconstruction) are thoroughly reviewed in this work by becoming acquainted with the key research gaps previously identified by the research community. Similarly, the basic mathematical formulation is used to outline some primary performance evaluation metrics for 1D and 2D compressive sensing.
