Basics of compressive sampling

An overview of the CS framework and criteria for favorable recovery conditions is given. As mentioned before, CS relies on a sparsifying transform for the to-be-recovered signal and uses this sparsity prior to compensate for the undersampling during the recovery process. For the reconstruction of wavefields in the Fourier (Sacchi et al., 1998; Xu et al., 2005; Zwartjes and Sacchi, 2007), Radon (Trad et al., 2003), and curvelet (Hennenfent and Herrmann, 2005; Herrmann and Hennenfent, 2007) domains, sparsity promotion is a well-established technique documented in the geophysical literature. The main contribution of CS is the new light shed on the favorable recovery conditions.
