Compressed sensing imaging techniques for radio interferometry
Radio interferometry probes astrophysical signals through incomplete and
noisy Fourier measurements. The theory of compressed sensing demonstrates that
such measurements may actually suffice for accurate reconstruction of sparse or
compressible signals. We propose new generic imaging techniques based on convex
optimization for global minimization problems defined in this context. The
versatility of the framework notably allows introduction of specific prior
information on the signals, which offers the possibility of significant
improvements of reconstruction relative to the standard local matching pursuit
algorithm CLEAN used in radio astronomy. We illustrate the potential of the
approach by studying reconstruction performances on simulations of two
different kinds of signals observed with very generic interferometric
configurations. The first kind is an intensity field of compact astrophysical
objects. The second kind is the imprint of cosmic strings in the temperature
field of the cosmic microwave background radiation, of particular interest for
cosmology.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure. Version 2 matches version accepted for

Modulated Unit-Norm Tight Frames for Compressed Sensing
In this paper, we propose a compressed sensing (CS) framework that consists
of three parts: a unit-norm tight frame (UTF), a random diagonal matrix and a
column-wise orthonormal matrix. We prove that this structure satisfies the
restricted isometry property (RIP) with high probability if the number of
measurements for -sparse signals of length
and if the column-wise orthonormal matrix is bounded. Some existing structured
sensing models can be studied under this framework, which then gives tighter
bounds on the required number of measurements to satisfy the RIP. More
importantly, we propose several structured sensing models by appealing to this
unified framework, such as a general sensing model with arbitrary/determinisic
subsamplers, a fast and efficient block compressed sensing scheme, and
structured sensing matrices with deterministic phase modulations, all of which
can lead to improvements on practical applications. In particular, one of the
constructions is applied to simplify the transceiver design of CS-based channel
estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems.Comment: submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
