Compressive Sensing for the Photonic Mixer Device: Fundamentals, Methods and Results

Miguel Heredia Conde aims at finding novel ways to fit the valuable mathematical results of the Compressive Sensing (CS) theory to the specific case of the Photonic Mixer Device (PMD).To this end, methods are presented that take profit of the sparsity of the signals gathered by PMD sensors. In his research, the author reveals that CS enables outstanding tradeoffs between sensing effort and depth error reduction or resolution enhancement.
