Compressed sensing is a signal processing technique that leverages the sparsity of signals to reconstruct them from fewer measurements than traditionally required. This method is particularly useful in scenarios where data acquisition is costly or time-consuming, allowing for efficient recovery of high-dimensional data from a reduced set of linear measurements. By using mathematical techniques, compressed sensing can recover signals from incomplete data while minimizing reconstruction errors.
congrats on reading the definition of compressed sensing. now let's actually learn it.
