In absence of a lens to form an image, incoherent or partially coherent light scattering off an obstructive or reflective object forms a broad intensity distribution in the far field with only feeble spatial features. We show here that…
Lensless imaging is a popular research field for the advantages of small size, wide field-of-view and low aberration in recent years. However, some traditional lensless imaging methods suffer from slow convergence, mechanical errors and…
