Claim Text:
1. A compressive sensing apparatus comprising: a compressive sensing optic (CSO) comprising a plurality of compressive sensing elements (CSEs), each CSE configured to capture a respective random CSE optical sample, each CSE optical sample related to a respective portion of a scene; and a fiber optic bundle (FOB) coupled to the CSO at a first end of the FOB, the FOB comprising a number of fiber optic elements (FOEs), each FOE configured to integrate one or more accepted scene optical samples to produce an associated compressed optical sample, each scene optical sample corresponding to at least a portion of a respective CSE optical sample, wherein each CSE is configured to provide the respective CSE optical sample to the FOB and each FOE is configured to carry the associated compressed optical sample from the first end to a second end of the FOB configured to be coupled to a sensor.
