Compressive spatial channel sounding
In this paper we investigate the application of Compressed Sensing (CS) to MIMO channel sounding in the spatial domain. A compressive spatial channel sounder is proposed and evaluated based on real scenarios showing advantages in terms of time, hardware complexity and resolution. In particular, in …
Defect Detection from 3D Ultrasonic Measurements Using Matrix-free Sparse Recovery Algorithms
In this paper, we propose an efficient matrix-free algorithm to reconstruct locations and size of flaws in a specimen from volumetric ultrasound data by means of a native 3D Sparse Signal Recovery scheme using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP). The efficiency of the proposed approach is achieved in …
GPU-Accelerated Matrix-Free 3D Ultrasound Reconstruction for Nondestructive Testing
In this paper, we propose a matrix-free 3D ultrasonic reconstruction scheme based on the Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding algorithm (FISTA) implemented on a GPU. The matrix-free implementation allows to reconstruct images even for problem sizes that would be intractable when explicitly …
Grid-Free Direction-of-Arrival Estimation with Compressed Sensing and Arbitrary Antenna Arrays
We study the problem of direction of arrival estimation for arbitrary antenna arrays. We formulate it as a continuous line spectral estimation problem and solve it under a sparsity prior without any gridding assumptions. Moreover, we incorporate the array’s beampattern in form of the Effective …
Sparsity Order Estimation From a Single Compressed Observation Vector
In this paper, the problem of estimating the unknown degree of sparsity from compressive measurements without the need to carry out a sparse recovery step is investigated. While the sparsity order can be directly inferred from the effective rank of the observation matrix in the multiple snapshot …
