Sparse Recovery with Orthogonal Matching Pursuit under RIP
arXiv:1005.2249
Abstract
This paper presents a new analysis for the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. It is shown that if the restricted isometry property (RIP) is satisfied at sparsity level , then OMP can recover a -sparse signal in 2-norm. For compressed sensing applications, this result implies that in order to uniformly recover a -sparse signal in $\Real^d$, only random projections are needed. This analysis improves earlier results on OMP that depend on stronger conditions such as mutual incoherence that can only be satisfied with random projections.
