Very happy of this 3-year work on "Interferometric #lensless #imaging: rank-one projections of image frequencies with #speckle illuminations" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.12698) carried out by Olivier Leblanc (ICTEAM, UCLouvain, Belgium), in collaboration with Mathias Hofer (Inst. Fresnel, France), Siddharth Sivankutty (U. Lille, France), and Hervé Rigneault (Inst. Fresnel, France).
In this work, we study how lensless imaging with a multicore fiber amounts to probing the spatial frequency content of an image (e.g., a biological sample for potential endoscopic applications).
In particular, by randomly programming the phase of the light emitted by each core (thanks to a spatial light modulator), the sensing model amounts to combining frequencies of the sample image, and this combination is explained by a rank-one projection model of a certain interferometric matrix.
Knowing this model improves our understanding of the model and eases the calibration compared to other speckle imaging approaches.
