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 HervΓ© 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.
