Sampling theorems and compressive sensing on the sphere

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Yves Wiaux, Gilles Puy, Jason Douglas McEwen

We discuss a novel sampling theorem on the sphere developed by McEwen & Wiaux recently through an association between the sphere and the torus. To represent a band-limited signal exactly, this new sampling theorem requires less than half the number of samp ...
