Compressive sampling enables us to reduce the memory a set amount of data takes up until we need to use it again. Additionally, the limiting factor most people are worried about is time. Compressive sampling allows the sending of signals and data with less time and effort. The process is based on probability and the principles of random number generators which is built in to most computers. This makes the process of compressive sampling widely available.en-USInstitute of TechnologySchool of MathematicsPresentation
