Deep learning based high-resolution incoherent x-ray imaging with a single-pixel detector
Abstract
X-ray "ghost" imaging has drawn great attention for its potential to lower radiation dose in medical diagnosis. For practical implementation, however, the efficiency and image quality have to be greatly improved. Here we demonstrate a computational ghost imaging scheme where a bucket detector and specially designed modulation masks are used, together with a new robust deep learning algorithm in which a compressed set of Hadamard matrices is incorporated into a multi-level wavelet convolutional neural network. By this means we have obtained an image of a real object from only 18.75% of the Nyquist sampling rate, using a portable tabletop incoherent x-ray source of ~37 {\mu}m diameter. A high imaging resolution of ~10 {\mu}m is achieved, which represents a concrete step towards the realization of a practical low cost x-ray ghost imaging camera for applications in biomedicine, archeology, material science, and so forth.
