A mechanism for reconstructing a signal (e.g., an image) based on a vector s, which includes measurements of the signal. The measurements have been acquired using at least a portion of a measurement vector set represented by a matrix H. Each of the measurements corresponds to a respective row of the matrix H. (For example, each of the measurements may correspond to an inner product between the signal and a respective row of the matrix product HD, wherein D is a generalized permutation matrix.) A total-variation primal-dual hybrid gradient (TV-PDHG) algorithm is executed based on data including the matrix H and the vector s, to determine an estimate for the signal. The TV-PDHG algorithm is implemented in fixed-point arithmetic.
