Compressive Sensing
8.1 Introduction
Compressed or compressive sensing (CS) is a mathematical theory of mea-
suring and retaining the most important part of the signal while sensing it.
It effectively performs dimensionality reduction of a signal in a linear man-
ner. It is one of the most exciting domains of modern times, and there is a
deluge of papers and research outcomes available to the researcher. It has
opened up new application vistas in the domains of computer science, elec-
trical engineering, applied mathematics, remote sensing, medical imaging,
communication, pattern recognition, and many more. Compressive sensing
is an interdisc ...
