A* Orthogonal Matching Pursuit: Best-First Search for Compressed Sensing Signal Recovery
Compressed sensing is a developing field aiming at reconstruction of sparse
signals acquired in reduced dimensions, which make the recovery process
under-determined. The required solution is the one with minimum norm
due to sparsity, however it is not practical to solve the minimization
problem. Commonly used techniques include minimization, such as Basis
Pursuit (BP) and greedy pursuit algorithms such as Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
(OMP) and Subspace Pursuit (SP). This manuscript proposes a novel semi-greedy
recovery approach, namely A* Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (A*OMP). A*OMP
performs A* search to look for the sparsest solution on a tree whose paths grow
similar to the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm. Paths on the tree
are evaluated according to a cost function, which should compensate for
different path lengths. For this purpose, three different auxiliary structures
are defined, including novel dynamic ones. A*OMP also incorporates pruning
techniques which enable practical applications of the algorithm. Moreover, the
adjustable search parameters provide means for a complexity-accuracy trade-off.
We demonstrate the reconstruction ability of the proposed scheme on both
synthetically generated data and images using Gaussian and Bernoulli
observation matrices, where A*OMP yields less reconstruction error and higher
exact recovery frequency than BP, OMP and SP. Results also indicate that novel
dynamic cost functions provide improved results as compared to a conventional
choice.Comment: accepted for publication in Digital Signal Processin
Compressive Parameter Estimation for Sparse Translation-Invariant Signals Using Polar Interpolation
We propose new compressive parameter estimation algorithms that make use of
polar interpolation to improve the estimator precision. Our work extends
previous approaches involving polar interpolation for compressive parameter
estimation in two aspects: (i) we extend the formulation from real non-negative
amplitude parameters to arbitrary complex ones, and (ii) we allow for mismatch
between the manifold described by the parameters and its polar approximation.
To quantify the improvements afforded by the proposed extensions, we evaluate
six algorithms for estimation of parameters in sparse translation-invariant
signals, exemplified with the time delay estimation problem. The evaluation is
based on three performance metrics: estimator precision, sampling rate and
computational complexity. We use compressive sensing with all the algorithms to
lower the necessary sampling rate and show that it is still possible to attain
good estimation precision and keep the computational complexity low. Our
numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithms outperform existing
approaches that either leverage polynomial interpolation or are based on a
conversion to a frequency-estimation problem followed by a super-resolution
algorithm. The algorithms studied here provide various tradeoffs between
computational complexity, estimation precision, and necessary sampling rate.
The work shows that compressive sensing for the class of sparse
translation-invariant signals allows for a decrease in sampling rate and that
the use of polar interpolation increases the estimation precision.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures, to appear in IEEE Transactions on Signal

Exploiting Prior Knowledge in Compressed Sensing Wireless ECG Systems
Recent results in telecardiology show that compressed sensing (CS) is a
promising tool to lower energy consumption in wireless body area networks for
electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. However, the performance of current
CS-based algorithms, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction quality of
the ECG, still falls short of the performance attained by state-of-the-art
wavelet based algorithms. In this paper, we propose to exploit the structure of
the wavelet representation of the ECG signal to boost the performance of
CS-based methods for compression and reconstruction of ECG signals. More
precisely, we incorporate prior information about the wavelet dependencies
across scales into the reconstruction algorithms and exploit the high fraction
of common support of the wavelet coefficients of consecutive ECG segments.
Experimental results utilizing the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database show that
significant performance gains, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction
quality, can be obtained by the proposed algorithms compared to current
CS-based methods.Comment: Accepted for publication at IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health
