Computational ghost imaging (CGI) is a single-pixel imaging technique that exploits the correlation between known random patterns and the measured intensity of light transmitted (or reflected) by an object. Although CGI can obtain two- or…

Imaging for an occluded object is usually a difficult problem, in this letter, we introduce an imaging scheme based on computational ghost imaging, which can obtain the image of a target object behind an obstacle. According to our…
