The generic story that goes into using compressive sensing is generally that it can provide sampling at a lower cost and lower complexity. While reading the news this week, I have been made aware of several extreme sampling and I am wondering how compressive sensing could or could have helped in these endeavors. The fascinating part is how extreme these sampling exercise were. Sometimes, the main constraints are:
- Money
- Citizen balloon mapping the Gulf oil spill ( we did a similar survey and set a world record of photographing 150km in New Mexico). More here.
- Build a high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in your backyard for under $240
- Deepwater spill and Catastrophic fires:
- Outer space
- The broken Hayabusa: a sample returns home (via Emily)
- The IKAROS separation camera designed only for a few pictures. (IKAROS is a solar sail drifting in space using photons to move)
- In microgravity under a catastrophic power failure: Finding the moment of inertia of Mir after it's been hit by a Progress.
- Location: the Eyeborg camera. (Thanks Olivier).
Do you have any other example of extreme sampling ? I'd like to hear about them.
