Abstract

The theory of Compressive Sensing, a.k.a. Compressed Sampling (CS), was introduced a little more than a decade ago and it has generated a great deal of attention in a variety of areas, including applied mathematics, computer science, physics,  engineering and, in fact, almost every field that involves data sensing. The  CS theory offers a much more economical sensing framework, in terms of number of samples, compared to the traditional Shannon-Nyquist paradigm. The CS theory has found natural application for optical sensing and imaging due the large dimensionality of optical data.  By employing CS principles for optical imaging and sensing it is possible to reduce the overall acquisition time, the amount of data stored and transmitted, and the size and weight of the system. In this talk we overview the opportunities opened by compressive sensing to overcome optical sensing and imaging design limitations. Examples form our decade activity in the field will be given, including compressive 2D and 3D imaging, 4D spectral-volumetric imaging, hyperspectral and ultraspectral imaging, motion tracking and more.
