Awesome Beyond Comprehension

Why compressive sensing will change the world

How about this: Compressive sensing takes a couple of lenses, a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), and a single Photodiode, and resolves an image that would otherwise require hundreds of thousands, if not millions of pixels to resolve. I don't pretend to understand the math, but this has the potential to vastly increase the resolution of just about anything you could think of, and even revolutionize the way we deal with security, medicine, and Astronomy.

That, or be a very interesting curiosity. You know how science goes.
