Sampling Theory and Practice: 50 Ways to Sample your Signal

(5) 講演概要
Sampling is a central topic not just in signal processing and 
communications, but in all fields where the world is analog, but 
computation is digital. This includes sensing, simulating, and 
rendering the real world. The question of sampling is very simple: 
when is there a one-to-one relationship between a continuous-time 
function and adequately acquired samples of this function? Sampling 
has a rich history, dating back to Whittaker, Kotelnikov, Shannon and 
others, and is a active area of contemporary research with 
fascinating new results.

The classic result of sampling is the one on bandlimited functions, 
where taking measurements at the Nyquist rate (or twice the maximum 
bandwidth) is sufficient for perfect reconstruction. These results 
were extended to shift-invariant subspaces and multiscale spaces 
during the development of wavelets, as well as in the context of 
splines. All these methods are based on subspace structures, and on 
linear approximation.

Recently, non-linear methods have appeared. Non-linear approximation 
in wavelet spaces has been shown to be a powerful approximation and 
compression method. This points to the idea that functions that are 
sparse in a basis (but not necessarily on a fixed subspace) can be 
represented efficiently.

The idea is even more general than sparsity in a basis, as pointed 
out in the framework of signals with finite rate of innovation. 
Such signals are non-bandlimited continuous-time signals, but with 
a parametric representation having a finite number of degrees of 
freedom per unit of time. This leads to sharp results on sampling 
and reconstruction of such sparse continuous-time signals, namely 
that 2K measurements are necessary and sufficient to perfectly 
reconstruct a K-sparse continuous-time signal. In accordance with 
the principle of parsimony, we call this sampling at Occam's rate. 
We indicate an order K^3 algorithm for reconstruction, and describe
the solution when noise is present, or the model is only 
approximately true.

Next, we consider the connection to compressed sensing and compressive 
sampling, a recent approach involving random measurement matrices. 
This is a discrete time, finite dimensional set up, with strong results 
on possible recovery by relaxing the l_0 into l_1 optimization, or using 
greedy algorithms. These methods have the advantage of unstructured 
measurement matrices (actually, typically random ones) and therefore 
a certain universality, at the cost of some redundancy. We compare the 
two approaches, highlighting differences, similarities, and respective 
advantages.

Finally, we move to applications of these results, which cover wideband 
communications, noise removal, distributed sampling, and super-
resolution imaging, to name a few. In particular, we describe a recent 
result on multichannel sampling with unknown shifts, which leads to an 
efficient super-resolution imaging method.

Martin Vetterli received the Dipl. El.-Ing. degree from ETH Zurich (ETHZ), 
Switzerland, in 1981, the MS degree from Stanford University in 1982, and 
the Doctorates Sciences degree from EPF Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, 
in 1986. 

He was a Research Assistant at Stanford and EPFL, and has worked for 
Siemens and AT&T Bell Laboratories. In 1986 he joined Columbia University 
in New York, where he was last an Associate Professor of Electrical 
Engineering and co-director of the Image and Advanced Television Laboratory. 
In 1993 he joined the University of California at Berkeley, where he was 
a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer 
Sciences until 1997, and now holds an Adjunct Professor position. 

Since 1995 he is a Professor of Communication Systems at EPF Lausanne, 
Switzerland, where he chaired the Communications Systems Division (1996/97), 
and heads the Audiovisual Communications Laboratory. From 2001 to 2004 he 
directed the National Competence Center in Research on mobile information 
and communication systems. He is also a Vice-President for Institutional 
Affairs at EPFL since October 2004. He has held visiting positions at 
ETHZ (1990) and Stanford (1998). 

He is a fellow of the IEEE, a fellow of ACM, a member of SIAM. He is on the 
editorial boards of Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis, The Journal 
of Fourier Analysis and Application and IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in 
Signal Processing. 

He received the Best Paper Award of EURASIP in 1984 for his paper on 
multidimensional subband coding, the Research Prize of the Brown Bovery 
Corporation (Switzerland) in 1986 for his doctoral thesis, the IEEE Signal 
Processing Society's Senior Awards in 1991, in 1996 and in 2007 (for papers 
with D. LeGall, K. Ramchandran, and Marziliano and Blu, respectively). He 
won the Swiss National Latsis Prize in 1996, the SPIE Presidential award 
in 1999, and the IEEE Signal Processing Technical Achievement Award in 2001. 
He was a member of the Swiss Council on Science and Technology until 
Dec. 2003. 

He was a plenary speaker at various conferences (e.g. IEEE ICIP, ICASSP, 
ISIT) and is the co-author of books with J. Kovacevic, Wavelets and Subband 
Coding, with P. Prandoni, Signal Processing for Communications, and with 
J. Kovacevic and V. K. Goyal, The World of Fourier and Wavelets. 

He has published about 120 journal papers on a variety of topics in signal
/image processing and communications, holds a dozen patents and is an ISI 
highly cited researcher in engineering. 

His research interests include sampling, wavelets, multirate signal 
processing, computational complexity, signal processing for communications, 
digital image/video processing, joint source/channel coding and signal 
processing for sensor networks.
