There is some pretty amazing work being done on Compressive Sensing at the moment. Really it offers very lightweight compression of sensor signals (allowing the data to be compressed by a cheap microcontroller for example). Followed by more complex decompression on say a PC. It's repercussions go way beyond that however into AI and data fusion. There is an introductory article here: http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/pub/2009/4/the-best-bits I also have a very simple but effective Moving Average Filter based Compressive Sensing algorithm here: http://code.google.com/p/lemontree/downloads/list Sean O'Connor
