We demonstrate imaging of complex amplitude objects through digital holography with phase-structured illumination and bucket detection. The object is sampled with a set of micro-structured phase patterns implemented onto a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator while a bucket detector sequentially records the irradiance fluctuations corresponding to the interference between object and reference beams. Our reconstruction algorithm retrieves the unknown phase information from the full set of photocurrent measurements. Interestingly, the sampling functions can be codified onto the reference beam, so they can be nonlocal with respect to the object. Finally, we show that the system is well-fitted for transmission of the object information through scattering media
