- Upcoming 2-Day Workshop on ‘Compressive Sensing and Sparsity: Theory and Applications in Tomography’ Venue: School of Mathematics, The University of Manchester, UK, 12th & 13th November 2015. Organisers:  Oliver Dorn and Martin Lotz
Workshop Description:  Compressive sensing and sparsity have experienced intensive attention and research interest during the last 10 years in a large variety of applications, including imaging and tomography. The idea is to make use of the fact that many images or signals are sparse in specific problem-dependent bases or frames.  Exploiting sparsity is usually a hard combinatorial problem. A breakthrough has been obtained when it was shown that ....
