Overview:
The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the recent advances in compressed sensing and sparse signal processing. We start with a discussion of classical techniques to solve undetermined linear systems, and then introduce the l0 norm minimization problem as the central problem of compressed sensing. We then discuss the theoretical underpinnings of sparse signal representations and uniqueness of recovery in detail. We study the popular sparse signal recovery algorithms and their performances guarantees. We will also cover signal processing interpretations of sparse signal recovery in terms of MAP and NMSE estimation.
