Compressive Sensing Approach in the Hermite Transform Domain

Abstract EN

Compressive sensing has attracted significant interest of researchers providing an alternative way to sample and reconstruct the signals.

This approach allows us to recover the entire signal from just a small set of random samples, whenever the signal is sparse in certain transform domain.

Therefore, exploring the possibilities of using different transform basis is an important task, needed to extend the field of compressive sensing applications.

In this paper, a compressive sensing approach based on the Hermite transform is proposed.

The Hermite transform by itself provides compressed signal representation based on a smaller number of Hermite coefficients compared to the signal length.

Here, it is shown that, for a wide class of signals characterized by sparsity in the Hermite domain, accurate signal reconstruction can be achieved even if incomplete set of measurements is used.

Advantages of the proposed method are demonstrated on numerical examples.

The presented concept is generalized for the short-time Hermite transform and combined transform.
