Traditional Nyquist sampling leverages compact frequency support to form the representation, but it ignores location when doing so. Instead, our location-oriented method (LOM) uses coarse location estimates to allow a reduced-rate representation of fine-scale data. We apply a model of local symmetry to the fine-scale data, motivated by features in natural signals. We present an analysis of the concepts behind LOM as well as performance results on synthetic and natural signals.47 p.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
