High-resolution self-corrected single-pixel imaging through dynamic and complex scattering media

Imaging with single-pixel detectors becomes attractive in many applications where pixelated detectors are not available or cannot work. Based on a correlation between the probing patterns and the realizations, optical imaging with single-pixel detector offers an indirect way to recover a sample. It is well recognized that single-pixel optical imaging through dynamic and complex scattering media is challenging, and dynamic scaling factors lead to serious mismatches between the probing patterns and the realizations. In this paper, we report self-corrected imaging to realize high-resolution object reconstruction through dynamic and complex scattering media using a parallel detection with dual single-pixel detectors. The proposed method can supervise and self-correct dynamic scaling factors, and can implement high-resolution object reconstruction through dynamic and complex scattering media where conventional methods could not work. Spatial resolution of 44.19 µm is achieved which approaches diffraction limit (40.0 µm) in the designed optical setup. The achievable spatial resolution is dependent on pixel size of spatial light modulator. It is experimentally validated that the proposed method shows unprecedented robustness against complex scattering. The proposed self-corrected imaging provides a solution for ghost recovery, enabling high-resolution object reconstruction in complex scattering environments.
