Compressed sensing - a better method of compression?

<p>I ran across this article today. It concerns itself with compressed sensing and how a mathematical algorithm is used to clarify images in medicine and other disciplines. It mentions the method could well be used in photography, that compressed sensing could easily be used in place of other in-camera compression methods. In my mind, anyway, it could easily increase the dynamic range of the digital photos we take.</p>

<p>Any thoughts? Has anyone heard that one camera company or another is considering this?</p>
