Construction of Structured Random Measurement Matrices in Semi-Tensor Product Compressed Sensing Based on Combinatorial Designs

A random matrix needs large storage space and is difficult to be implemented in hardware, and a deterministic matrix has large reconstruction error. Aiming at these shortcomings, the objective of this paper is to find an effective method to balance these performances. Combining the advantages of the incidence matrix of combinatorial designs and a random matrix, this paper constructs a structured random matrix by the embedding operation of two seed matrices in which one is the incidence matrix of combinatorial designs, and the other is obtained by Gram–Schmidt orthonormalization of the random matrix. Meanwhile, we provide a new model that applies the structured random matrices to semi-tensor product compressed sensing. Finally, compared with the reconstruction effect of several famous matrices, our matrices are more suitable for the reconstruction of one-dimensional signals and two-dimensional images by experimental methods.
