In compressed sensing, the design of the measurement matrix is a key work. In order to achieve a more precise reconstruction result, the columns of the measurement matrix should have better orthogonality or linear incoherence. A random matrix, like a Gaussian random matrix (GRM), is commonly adopted as the measurement matrix currently. However, the columns of the random matrix are only statistically-orthogonal. By substituting an orthogonal basis into the random matrix to construct a semi-random measurement matrix and by optimizing the mutual coherence between dictionary columns to approach a theoretical lower bound, the linear incoherence of the measurement matrix can be greatly improved. With this optimization measurement matrix, the signal can be reconstructed from its measures more precisely.

This paper describes a novel input-free MOS VT extractor circuit. The circuit consists of a bias voltage block and a novel VT extractor block. The proposed VT extractor block has the advantages of the ground-referenced output, low influence of the nonideality, few numbers of transistors and no influence of the PMOS process. The PSpice simulations show the supply voltage range and the bias voltage range of the proposed circuit are wider than those of Johnson's or Wang's.

This letter proposes an efficient local descriptor for wide-baseline dense matching. It improves the existing Daisy descriptor by combining intensity-based Haar wavelet response with a new color-based ratio model. The color ratio model is invariant to changes of viewing direction, object geometry, and the direction, intensity and spectral power distribution of the illumination. The experiments show that our descriptor has high discriminative power and robustness.
