the sparse truth
the idea is that one can use randomness as a sensing mechanism; that is, as a way of extracting information about an object of interest from a small number of randomly selected observations. for example, we have seen that if an object has a sparse gradient then we can "image" this object by measuring a few Fourier samples at random locations rather than by acquiring a large number of pixels.
this point of view is very broad. suppose we wish to reconstruct a signal f assumed to be
sparse in a fixed basis, e.g. a wavelet basis. then by applying random sensing (taking a
small number of random measurements) the number of measurement we need depends far
more upon the structural content of the signal (the number of significant terms in the wavelet expansion) than the resolution N.

he was the sort of man who wouldn't hurt a fly he was not my patron he preferred full granaries my roar meant slaughter yet here we are together in the same museum i see the temple where i was born or built where I held power i see the desert beyond where the hot conical tombs hide my jokes the dried-out flesh and bones the wooden boats in which the dead sail endlessly in no direction what did you expect from gods
with animal heads
with animal heads
we're given blood and bread, flowers and prayer and lip service if it's selfless love you're looking for you've got the wrong goddess i just sit where I'm put composed of stone and wishful thinking that the deity who kills for pleasure will also heal that in the midst of your nightmare the final one a kind lion will come with bandages in her mouth and the soft body of a woman and lick you clean of fever and pick your soul up gently by the nape of the neck and caress you into darkness and paradise
