In this work, we consider the problem of high-resolution estimation of the parameters detailing a two-dimensional (2-D) signal consisting of an unknown number of exponentially decaying sinusoidal components. Interpreting the estimation problem as a block (or group) sparse representation problem allows the decoupling of the 2-D data structure into a sum of outer-products of 1-D damped sinusoidal signals with unknown damping and frequency. The resulting non-zero blocks will represent each of the 1-D damped sinusoids, which may then be used as non-parametric estimates of the corresponding 1-D signals; this implies that the sought 2-D modes may be estimated using a sequence of 1-D optimization problems. The resulting sparse representation problem is solved using an iterative ADMM-based algorithm, after which the damping and frequency parameter can be estimated by a sequence of simple 1-D optimization problems.
