The restricted isometry property for random block diagonal matrices
In Compressive Sensing, the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) ensures that
robust recovery of sparse vectors is possible from noisy, undersampled
measurements via computationally tractable algorithms. It is by now well-known
that Gaussian (or, more generally, sub-Gaussian) random matrices satisfy the
RIP under certain conditions on the number of measurements. Their use can be
limited in practice, however, due to storage limitations, computational
considerations, or the mismatch of such matrices with certain measurement
architectures. These issues have recently motivated considerable effort towards
studying the RIP for structured random matrices. In this paper, we study the
RIP for block diagonal measurement matrices where each block on the main
diagonal is itself a sub-Gaussian random matrix. Our main result states that
such matrices can indeed satisfy the RIP but that the requisite number of
measurements depends on certain properties of the basis in which the signals
are sparse. In the best case, these matrices perform nearly as well as dense
Gaussian random matrices, despite having many fewer nonzero entries
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
The road to deterministic matrices with the restricted isometry property
The restricted isometry property (RIP) is a well-known matrix condition that
provides state-of-the-art reconstruction guarantees for compressed sensing.
While random matrices are known to satisfy this property with high probability,
deterministic constructions have found less success. In this paper, we consider
various techniques for demonstrating RIP deterministically, some popular and
some novel, and we evaluate their performance. In evaluating some techniques,
we apply random matrix theory and inadvertently find a simple alternative proof
that certain random matrices are RIP. Later, we propose a particular class of
matrices as candidates for being RIP, namely, equiangular tight frames (ETFs).
Using the known correspondence between real ETFs and strongly regular graphs,
we investigate certain combinatorial implications of a real ETF being RIP.
Specifically, we give probabilistic intuition for a new bound on the clique
number of Paley graphs of prime order, and we conjecture that the corresponding
ETFs are RIP in a manner similar to random matrices.Comment: 24 page
Uniform Recovery from Subgaussian Multi-Sensor Measurements
Parallel acquisition systems are employed successfully in a variety of
different sensing applications when a single sensor cannot provide enough
measurements for a high-quality reconstruction. In this paper, we consider
compressed sensing (CS) for parallel acquisition systems when the individual
sensors use subgaussian random sampling. Our main results are a series of
uniform recovery guarantees which relate the number of measurements required to
the basis in which the solution is sparse and certain characteristics of the
multi-sensor system, known as sensor profile matrices. In particular, we derive
sufficient conditions for optimal recovery, in the sense that the number of
measurements required per sensor decreases linearly with the total number of
sensors, and demonstrate explicit examples of multi-sensor systems for which
this holds. We establish these results by proving the so-called Asymmetric
Restricted Isometry Property (ARIP) for the sensing system and use this to
derive both nonuniversal and universal recovery guarantees. Compared to
existing work, our results not only lead to better stability and robustness
estimates but also provide simpler and sharper constants in the measurement
conditions. Finally, we show how the problem of CS with block-diagonal sensing
matrices can be viewed as a particular case of our multi-sensor framework.
Specializing our results to this setting leads to a recovery guarantee that is
at least as good as existing results.Comment: 37 pages, 5 figure
