信号稀疏表示的目的就是在给定的超完备字典中用尽可能少的原子来表示信号，可以获得信号更为简洁的表示方式，从而使我们更容易地获取信号中所蕴含的信息，更方便进一步对信号进行加工处理，如压缩、编码等。信号稀疏表示方向的研究热点主要集中在稀疏分解算法、超完备原子字典、和稀疏表示的应用等方面。(Signal sparse representation is to overcomplete dictionary given in as little as possible to represent atomic signal, signal can be more succinct representation, which makes it easier for us to get there in the signal information, more convenient for further signal processing, such as compression, encoding etc.. The focus of research on signal sparse representation focuses on sparse decomposition algorithm, ultra complete Atomic Dictionary and sparse representation.)
