We explore a fundamental problem of super-resolving a signal of interest from a few measurements of its low-pass magnitudes. We propose a 2-stage tractable algorithm that, in the absence of noise, admits perfect super-resolution of an @math -sparse signal from @math low-pass magnitude measurements. The spike locations of the signal can assume any value over a continuous disk, without increasing the required sample size. The proposed algorithm first employs a conventional super-resolution algorithm (e.g. the matrix pencil approach) to recover unlabeled sets of signal correlation coefficients, and then applies a simple sorting algorithm to disentangle and retrieve the true parameters in a deterministic manner. Our approach can be adapted to multi-dimensional spike models and random Fourier sampling by replacing its first step with other harmonic retrieval algorithms.
In particular, our recovery algorithm coincides with @cite_8 @cite_0 @cite_24 when applied to simultaneously sparse and low-rank matrices. When the signal is further assumed to be exactly sparse of sparsity level @math , the pioneering work @cite_2 showed that @math measurements suffice; this result is extended to accommodate sub-Gaussian measurements and approximately sparse signals by our work using a much simpler approach.

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. This paper investigates a new learning formulation called dynamic group sparsity. It is a natural extension of the standard sparsity concept in compressive sensing, and is motivated by the observation that in some practical sparse data the nonzero coefficients are often not random but tend to be clustered. Intuitively, better results can be achieved in these cases by reasonably utilizing both clustering and sparsity priors. Motivated by this idea, we have developed a new greedy sparse recovery algorithm, which prunes data residues in the iterative process according to both sparsity and group clustering priors rather than only sparsity as in previous methods. The proposed algorithm can recover stably sparse data with clustering trends using far fewer measurements and computations than current state-of-the-art algorithms with provable guarantees. Moreover, our algorithm can adaptively learn the dynamic group structure and the sparsity number if they are not available in the practical applications. We have applied the algorithm to sparse recovery and background subtraction in videos. Numerous experiments with improved performance over previous methods further validate our theoretical proofs and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. There are two main algorithmic approaches to sparse signal recovery: geometric and combinatorial. The geometric approach utilizes geometric properties of the measurement matrix Phi. A notable example is the Restricted Isometry Property, which states that the mapping Phi preserves the Euclidean norm of sparse signals; it is known that random dense matrices satisfy this constraint with high probability. On the other hand, the combinatorial approach utilizes sparse matrices, interpreted as adjacency matrices of sparse (possibly random) graphs, and uses combinatorial techniques to recover an approximation to the signal. In this paper we present a unification of these two approaches. To this end, we extend the notion of Restricted Isometry Property from the Euclidean lscr2 norm to the Manhattan lscr1 norm. Then we show that this new lscr1 -based property is essentially equivalent to the combinatorial notion of expansion of the sparse graph underlying the measurement matrix. At the same time we show that the new property suffices to guarantee correctness of both geometric and combinatorial recovery algorithms. As a result, we obtain new measurement matrix constructions and algorithms for signal recovery which, compared to previous algorithms, are superior in either the number of measurements or computational efficiency of decoders. This paper considers the problem of sparse signal recovery when the decoder has prior information on the sparsity pattern of the data. The data vector x=[x1,...,xN]T has a randomly generated sparsity pattern, where the i-th entry is non-zero with probability pi. Given knowledge of these probabilities, the decoder attempts to recover x based on M random noisy projections. Information-theoretic limits on the number of measurements needed to recover the support set of x perfectly are given, and it is shown that significantly fewer measurements can be used if the prior distribution is sufficiently non-uniform. Furthermore, extensions of Basis Pursuit, LASSO, and Orthogonal Matching Pursuit which exploit the prior information are presented. The improved performance of these methods over their standard counterparts is demonstrated using simulations.
