Lensless Imaging by Compressive Sensing
In this paper, we propose a lensless compressive imaging architecture. The
architecture consists of two components, an aperture assembly and a sensor. No
lens is used. The aperture assembly consists of a two dimensional array of
aperture elements. The transmittance of each aperture element is independently
controllable. The sensor is a single detection element. A compressive sensing
matrix is implemented by adjusting the transmittance of the individual aperture
elements according to the values of the sensing matrix. The proposed
architecture is simple and reliable because no lens is used. The architecture
can be used for capturing images of visible and other spectra such as infrared,
or millimeter waves, in surveillance applications for detecting anomalies or
extracting features such as speed of moving objects. Multiple sensors may be
used with a single aperture assembly to capture multi-view images
simultaneously. A prototype was built by using a LCD panel and a photoelectric
sensor for capturing images of visible spectrum.Comment: Accepted ICIP 2013. 5 Pages, 7 Figures. arXiv admin note: substantial

Toward Depth Estimation Using Mask-Based Lensless Cameras
Recently, coded masks have been used to demonstrate a thin form-factor
lensless camera, FlatCam, in which a mask is placed immediately on top of a
bare image sensor. In this paper, we present an imaging model and algorithm to
jointly estimate depth and intensity information in the scene from a single or
multiple FlatCams. We use a light field representation to model the mapping of
3D scene onto the sensor in which light rays from different depths yield
different modulation patterns. We present a greedy depth pursuit algorithm to
search the 3D volume and estimate the depth and intensity of each pixel within
the camera field-of-view. We present simulation results to analyze the
performance of our proposed model and algorithm with different FlatCam
settings
Multi-view in Lensless Compressive Imaging
Multi-view images are acquired by a lensless compressive imaging
architecture, which consists of an aperture assembly and multiple sensors. The
aperture assembly consists of a two dimensional array of aperture elements
whose transmittance can be individually controlled to implement a compressive
sensing matrix. For each transmittance pattern of the aperture assembly, each
of the sensors takes a measurement. The measurement vectors from the multiple
sensors represent multi-view images of the same scene. We present theoretical
framework for multi-view reconstruction and experimental results for enhancing
quality of image using multi-view.Comment: Accepted for presentation at PCS 2013 as Paper #1021; 4 pages, 4
