We apply the measurement reduction technique to optimally reconstruct an object image from multiplexed ghost images (GI) while taking into account both GI correlations and object image sparsity. We show that one can reconstruct an image in…

Ghost imaging is an unconventional optical imaging technique that reconstructs the shape of an object combining the measurement of two signals: one that interacted with the object, but without any spatial information, the other containing…

We study the influence rules of the speckle size of light source on ghost imaging, and propose a new type of speckle patterns to improve the quality of ghost imaging. The results show that the image quality will first increase and then…

The image information acquisition ability of a conventional camera is usually much lower than the Shannon Limit since it does not make use of the correlation between pixels of image data. Applying a random phase modulator to code the…

High-resolution ghost image and ghost diffraction experiments are performed by using a single source of thermal-like speckle light divided by a beam splitter. Passing from the image to the diffraction result solely relies on changing the…

Classical ghost imaging is a new paradigm in imaging where the image of an object is not measured directly with a pixelated detector. Rather, the object is subject to a set of illumination patterns and the total interaction of the object,…

Ghost imaging is an unconventional imaging technique that generates high resolution images by correlating the intensity of two light beams, neither of which independently contains useful information about the shape of the object. Ghost…

In ghost imaging with narrow-band signal in thermal light background, signal arm filters bring higher value and upper limit of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and faster speed to reach that limit. The narrower bandwidth, the better.
