Title
Complex Correntropy Applied to a Compressive Sensing Problem in an Impulsive Noise Environment
Abstract
Correntropy is a similarity function capable of extracting high-order statistical information from data. It has been used in different kinds of applications as a cost function to overcome traditional methods in non-Gaussian noise environments. One of the recent applications of correntropy was in the theory of compressive sensing, which takes advantage of sparsity in a transformed domain to reconstruct the signal from a few measurements. Recently, an algorithm called $\ell _{0}$ MCC was introduced. It applies the Maximum Correntropy Criterion (MCC) in order to deal with a non-Gaussian noise environment in a compressive sensing problem. However, because correntropy was only defined for real-valued data, it was not possible to apply the $\ell _{0}$ MCC algorithm in a straightforward way to compressive sensing problems dealing with complex-valued measurements. This paper presents a generalization of the $\ell _{0}$ MCC algorithm to complex-valued measurements. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm can outperform traditional minimization algorithms such as Nesterovs algorithm (NESTA) and the $\ell _{0}$ Least Mean Square ($\ell _{0}$ LMS) in the presence of non-Gaussian noise.
