Is it related to compressed sensing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_sensing

Edit: I was thinking about the single-pixel camera: http://dsp.rice.edu/cscamera

Yes it is compressed sensing. Compressed sensing is where you have an input that is randomly 'combined' and then you reconstruct the signal you want (it has to be sparse in some way) using the L1 norm.
