Random projections based feature-specific structured imaging

A feature-specific imaging system based on the use of structured illumination that shows the feasibility of the proposed approach by using 42% fewer measurements than the object dimensionality is presented.

Abstract

We present a feature-specific imaging system based on the use of structured illumination. The measurements are defined as inner products between the illumination patterns and the object reflectance function, measured on a single photodetector. The illumination patterns are defined using random binary patterns and thus do not employ prior knowledge about the object. Object estimates are generated using L(1)-norm minimization and gradient-projection sparse reconstruction algorithms. The experimental reconstructions show the feasibility of the proposed approach by using 42% fewer measurements than the object dimensionality.
