In Compressive Sensing theory and its applications, quantization of signal measurements, as integrated into any realistic sensing model, impacts the quality of signal reconstruction. In fact, there even exist incompatible combinations of quantization functions (e.g., the 1-bit sign function) and sensing matrices (e.g., Bernoulli) that cannot lead to an arbitrarily low reconstruction error when the number of observations increases. This work shows that, for a scalar and uniform quantization, provided that a uniform random vector, or "random dithering", is added to the compressive measurements of a low-complexity signal (e.g., a sparse or compressible signal, or a low-rank matrix) before quantization, a large class of random matrix constructions known to respect the restricted isometry property (RIP) are made "compatible" with this quantizer. This compatibility is demonstrated by the existence of (at least) one signal reconstruction method, the "projected back projection" (PBP), whose reconstruction error is proved to decay when the number of quantized measurements increases. Despite the simplicity of PBP, which amounts to projecting the back projection of the compressive observations (obtained from their multiplication by the adjoint sensing matrix) onto the low-complexity set containing the observed signal, we also prove that given a RIP matrix and for a single realization of the dithering, this reconstruction error decay is also achievable uniformly for the sensing of all signals in the considered low-complexity set. We finally confirm empirically these observations in several sensing contexts involving sparse signals, low-rank matrices, and compressible signals, with various RIP matrix constructions such as sub-Gaussian random matrices and random partial Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) matrices.
More recently, @cite_40 has shown that, if @math is a subsampled Gaussian circulant matrix in the binary observation model , PBP can reconstruct the direction of any sparse vector up to an error decaying as @math (see [Thm 4.1] DJR2017 ). Moreover, by adding a random dithering to the linear random measurements before their binarization, the same authors proved that a second-order cone program (SOCP) can fully estimate the vector @math , not only its direction. For the same subsampled circulant sensing matrix, they also proved that their results extend to the dithered, uniformly quantized CS expressed in . In fact, with high probability, and for all effectively sparse signals @math , such that @math is small, the same SOCP program achieves a reconstruction error decaying like @math when @math increases. Their only requirement is that, first, the dithering is made of the addition of a Gaussian random vector with a uniform random vector adjusted to the quantization resolution, and second, that @math is smaller than @math [Thm 6.2] DJR2017 .

This paper provides novel results for the recovery of signals from undersampled measurements based on analysis @math -minimization, when the analysis operator is given by a frame. We both provide so-called uniform and nonuniform recovery guarantees for cosparse (analysis-sparse) signals using Gaussian random measurement matrices. The nonuniform result relies on a recovery condition via tangent cones and the uniform recovery guarantee is based on an analysis version of the null space property. Examining these conditions for Gaussian random matrices leads to precise bounds on the number of measurements required for successful recovery. In the special case of standard sparsity, our result improves a bound due to Rudelson and Vershynin concerning the exact reconstruction of sparse signals from Gaussian measurements with respect to the constant and extends it to stability under passing to approximately sparse signals and to robustness under noise on the measurements. In this paper we consider memoryless one-bit compressed sensing with randomly subsampled Gaussian circulant matrices. We show that in a small sparsity regime and for small enough accuracy @math , @math measurements suffice to reconstruct the direction of any @math -sparse vector up to accuracy @math via an efficient program. We derive this result by proving that partial Gaussian circulant matrices satisfy an @math RIP-property. Under a slightly worse dependence on @math , we establish stability with respect to approximate sparsity, as well as full vector recovery results. We study the recovery of sparse vectors from subsampled random convolutions via @math -minimization. We consider the setup in which both the subsampling locations as well as the generating vector are chosen at random. For a subgaussian generator with independent entries, we improve previously known estimates: if the sparsity @math is small enough, i.e., @math , we show that @math measurements are sufficient to recover @math -sparse vectors in dimension @math with high probability, matching the well-known condition for recovery from standard Gaussian measurements. If @math is larger, then essentially @math measurements are sufficient, again improving over previous estimates. Our results are shown via the so-called robust null space property which is weaker than the standard restricted isometry property. Our method of proof involves a novel combination of small ball estimates with chaining techniques which should be of independent interest. This paper studies the problem of recovering a sparse signal x ∈ ℝn from highly corrupted linear measurements y = Ax + e ∈ ℝm, where e is an unknown error vector whose nonzero entries may be unbounded. Motivated by an observation from face recognition in computer vision, this paper proves that for highly correlated (and possibly overcomplete) dictionaries A, any sufficiently sparse signal x can be recovered by solving an l1 -minimization problem min ||x||1 + ||e||1 subject to y = Ax + e. More precisely, if the fraction of the support of the error e is bounded away from one and the support of a: is a very small fraction of the dimension m, then as m becomes large the above l1 -minimization succeeds for all signals x and almost all sign-and-support patterns of e. This result suggests that accurate recovery of sparse signals is possible and computationally feasible even with nearly 100 of the observations corrupted. The proof relies on a careful characterization of the faces of a convex polytope spanned together by the standard crosspolytope and a set of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian vectors with nonzero mean and small variance, dubbed the "cross-and-bouquet" (CAB) model. Simulations and experiments corroborate the findings, and suggest extensions to the result.
