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

Replica Symmetry Breaking in Compressive Sensing
For noisy compressive sensing systems, the asymptotic distortion with respect
to an arbitrary distortion function is determined when a general class of
least-square based reconstruction schemes is employed. The sampling matrix is
considered to belong to a large ensemble of random matrices including i.i.d.
and projector matrices, and the source vector is assumed to be i.i.d. with a
desired distribution. We take a statistical mechanical approach by representing
the asymptotic distortion as a macroscopic parameter of a spin glass and
employing the replica method for the large-system analysis. In contrast to
earlier studies, we evaluate the general replica ansatz which includes the RS
ansatz as well as RSB. The generality of the solution enables us to study the
impact of symmetry breaking. Our numerical investigations depict that for the
reconstruction scheme with the "zero-norm" penalty function, the RS fails to
predict the asymptotic distortion for relatively large compression rates;
however, the one-step RSB ansatz gives a valid prediction of the performance
within a larger regime of compression rates.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, presented at ITA 201
Analysis-by-Synthesis-based Quantization of Compressed Sensing Measurements
We consider a resource-constrained scenario where a compressed sensing- (CS)
based sensor has a low number of measurements which are quantized at a low rate
followed by transmission or storage. Applying this scenario, we develop a new
quantizer design which aims to attain a high-quality reconstruction performance
of a sparse source signal based on analysis-by-synthesis framework. Through
simulations, we compare the performance of the proposed quantization algorithm
vis-a-vis existing quantization methods.Comment: 5 pages, Published in ICASSP 201
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
