Robust Dequantized Compressive Sensing
  We consider the reconstruction problem in compressed sensing in which the observations are recorded in a finite number of bits. They may thus contain quantization errors (from being rounded to the nearest representable value) and saturation errors (from being outside the range of representable values). Our formulation has an objective of weighted $\ell_2$-$\ell_1$ type, along with constraints that account explicitly for quantization and saturation errors, and is solved with an augmented Lagrangian method. We prove a consistency result for the recovered solution, stronger than those that have appeared to date in the literature, showing in particular that asymptotic consistency can be obtained without oversampling. We present extensive computational comparisons with formulations proposed previously, and variants thereof.
