A New Analysis for Support Recovery With Block Orthogonal Matching Pursuit

Compressed sensing is a signal processing technique, which can accurately recover sparse signals from linear measurements with far fewer number of measurements than those required by the classical Shannon-Nyquist theorem. Block sparse signals, i.e., the sparse signals whose nonzero coefficients occur in few blocks, arise from many fields. Block orthogonal matching pursuit (BOMP) is a popular greedy algorithm for recovering block sparse signals due to its high efficiency and effectiveness. By fully using the block sparsity of block sparse signals, BOMP can achieve very good recovery performance. This letter proposes a sufficient condition to ensure that BOMP can exactly recover the support of block K-sparse signals under the noisy case. This condition is better than existing ones.
