This paper develops a novel adaptive gradient-based block compressive sensing (AGbBCS_SP) methodology for noisy image compression and reconstruction. The AGbBCS_SP approach splits an image into blocks by maximizing their sparsity, and reconstructs images by solving a convex optimization problem. In block compressive sensing, the commonly used square block shapes cannot always produce the best results. The main contribution of our paper is to provide an adaptive method for block shape selection, improving noisy image reconstruction performance. The proposed algorithm can adaptively achieve bett...
