Consistent Basis Pursuit for Signal and Matrix Estimates in Quantized Compressed Sensing
This paper focuses on the estimation of low-complexity signals when they are
observed through uniformly quantized compressive observations. Among such
signals, we consider 1-D sparse vectors, low-rank matrices, or compressible
signals that are well approximated by one of these two models. In this context,
we prove the estimation efficiency of a variant of Basis Pursuit Denoise,
called Consistent Basis Pursuit (CoBP), enforcing consistency between the
observations and the re-observed estimate, while promoting its low-complexity
nature. We show that the reconstruction error of CoBP decays like
when all parameters but are fixed. Our proof is connected to recent bounds
on the proximity of vectors or matrices when (i) those belong to a set of small
intrinsic "dimension", as measured by the Gaussian mean width, and (ii) they
share the same quantized (dithered) random projections. By solving CoBP with a
proximal algorithm, we provide some extensive numerical observations that
confirm the theoretical bound as is increased, displaying even faster error
decay than predicted. The same phenomenon is observed in the special, yet
important case of 1-bit CS.Comment: Keywords: Quantized compressed sensing, quantization, consistency,

Variational Bayesian algorithm for quantized compressed sensing
Compressed sensing (CS) is on recovery of high dimensional signals from their
low dimensional linear measurements under a sparsity prior and digital
quantization of the measurement data is inevitable in practical implementation
of CS algorithms. In the existing literature, the quantization error is modeled
typically as additive noise and the multi-bit and 1-bit quantized CS problems
are dealt with separately using different treatments and procedures. In this
paper, a novel variational Bayesian inference based CS algorithm is presented,
which unifies the multi- and 1-bit CS processing and is applicable to various
cases of noiseless/noisy environment and unsaturated/saturated quantizer. By
decoupling the quantization error from the measurement noise, the quantization
error is modeled as a random variable and estimated jointly with the signal
being recovered. Such a novel characterization of the quantization error
results in superior performance of the algorithm which is demonstrated by
extensive simulations in comparison with state-of-the-art methods for both
multi-bit and 1-bit CS problems.Comment: Accepted by IEEE Trans. Signal Processing. 10 pages, 6 figure
Quantized Compressive K-Means
The recent framework of compressive statistical learning aims at designing
tractable learning algorithms that use only a heavily compressed
representation-or sketch-of massive datasets. Compressive K-Means (CKM) is such
a method: it estimates the centroids of data clusters from pooled, non-linear,
random signatures of the learning examples. While this approach significantly
reduces computational time on very large datasets, its digital implementation
wastes acquisition resources because the learning examples are compressed only
after the sensing stage. The present work generalizes the sketching procedure
initially defined in Compressive K-Means to a large class of periodic
nonlinearities including hardware-friendly implementations that compressively
acquire entire datasets. This idea is exemplified in a Quantized Compressive
K-Means procedure, a variant of CKM that leverages 1-bit universal quantization
(i.e. retaining the least significant bit of a standard uniform quantizer) as
the periodic sketch nonlinearity. Trading for this resource-efficient signature
(standard in most acquisition schemes) has almost no impact on the clustering
performances, as illustrated by numerical experiments
Quantization and Compressive Sensing
Quantization is an essential step in digitizing signals, and, therefore, an
indispensable component of any modern acquisition system. This book chapter
explores the interaction of quantization and compressive sensing and examines
practical quantization strategies for compressive acquisition systems.
Specifically, we first provide a brief overview of quantization and examine
fundamental performance bounds applicable to any quantization approach. Next,
we consider several forms of scalar quantizers, namely uniform, non-uniform,
and 1-bit. We provide performance bounds and fundamental analysis, as well as
practical quantizer designs and reconstruction algorithms that account for
quantization. Furthermore, we provide an overview of Sigma-Delta
() quantization in the compressed sensing context, and also
discuss implementation issues, recovery algorithms and performance bounds. As
we demonstrate, proper accounting for quantization and careful quantizer design
has significant impact in the performance of a compressive acquisition system.Comment: 35 pages, 20 figures, to appear in Springer book "Compressed Sensing

Feedback Acquisition and Reconstruction of Spectrum-Sparse Signals by Predictive Level Comparisons
In this letter, we propose a sparsity promoting feedback acquisition and
reconstruction scheme for sensing, encoding and subsequent reconstruction of
spectrally sparse signals. In the proposed scheme, the spectral components are
estimated utilizing a sparsity-promoting, sliding-window algorithm in a
feedback loop. Utilizing the estimated spectral components, a level signal is
predicted and sign measurements of the prediction error are acquired. The
sparsity promoting algorithm can then estimate the spectral components
iteratively from the sign measurements. Unlike many batch-based Compressive
Sensing (CS) algorithms, our proposed algorithm gradually estimates and follows
slow changes in the sparse components utilizing a sliding-window technique. We
also consider the scenario in which possible flipping errors in the sign bits
propagate along iterations (due to the feedback loop) during reconstruction. We
propose an iterative error correction algorithm to cope with this error
propagation phenomenon considering a binary-sparse occurrence model on the
error sequence. Simulation results show effective performance of the proposed
scheme in comparison with the literature
Exact Performance Analysis of the Oracle Receiver for Compressed Sensing Reconstruction
A sparse or compressible signal can be recovered from a certain number of
noisy random projections, smaller than what dictated by classic Shannon/Nyquist
theory. In this paper, we derive the closed-form expression of the mean square
error performance of the oracle receiver, knowing the sparsity pattern of the
signal. With respect to existing bounds, our result is exact and does not
depend on a particular realization of the sensing matrix. Moreover, our result
holds irrespective of whether the noise affecting the measurements is white or
correlated. Numerical results show a perfect match between equations and
simulations, confirming the validity of the result.Comment: To be published in ICASSP 2014 proceeding
Graded quantization for multiple description coding of compressive measurements
Compressed sensing (CS) is an emerging paradigm for acquisition of compressed
representations of a sparse signal. Its low complexity is appealing for
resource-constrained scenarios like sensor networks. However, such scenarios
are often coupled with unreliable communication channels and providing robust
transmission of the acquired data to a receiver is an issue. Multiple
description coding (MDC) effectively combats channel losses for systems without
feedback, thus raising the interest in developing MDC methods explicitly
designed for the CS framework, and exploiting its properties. We propose a
method called Graded Quantization (CS-GQ) that leverages the democratic
property of compressive measurements to effectively implement MDC, and we
provide methods to optimize its performance. A novel decoding algorithm based
on the alternating directions method of multipliers is derived to reconstruct
signals from a limited number of received descriptions. Simulations are
performed to assess the performance of CS-GQ against other methods in presence
of packet losses. The proposed method is successful at providing robust coding
of CS measurements and outperforms other schemes for the considered test
metrics
