Update: Papers from SampTA and SPARS

SampTA 2013 and SPARS 2013 are back to back (almost) next to each other and I am fortunate to participate in both. They are very interesting events and always gather a great group of people.

This year I am presenting work on measuring and recovering sparse signals using phase measurements. In both papers [1, 2] , we obtain linear measurements of real signals using a complex measurement matrix and only record the phase of those measurements. This can be considered as an extension of 1-bis CS [3, 4] since the phase of a complex number generalizes the sign of a real number.

The SPARS paper  [1] discusses how such measurements implement embeddings that preserve angles (i.e., correlations) between signals. The SamTA paper [2] further shows that we can in fact reconstruct from such measurements. Although the theory is not all the way there yet, in practice we observe exact reconstruction patterns, similar to classical CS. These results are very exciting and promising!
