Object retrieval from diffraction patterns is challenging, especially with symmetric support constraints. This study demonstrates an iterative algorithm using a difference map effectively reconstructs complex-valued objects with symmetric supports, requiring oversampling and careful parameter selection.

Area of Science:

  • Diffraction imaging
  • Computational imaging
  • Image reconstruction

Background:

  • Object retrieval from diffraction patterns is a complex inverse problem.
  • Symmetric support constraints often exacerbate reconstruction difficulties.
  • Iterative algorithms are commonly employed but may face convergence issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an effective iterative algorithm for complex-valued object retrieval from diffraction patterns.
  • To address the specific challenge of symmetric support constraints in diffraction imaging.
  • To demonstrate routine convergence for such difficult cases.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing an iterative algorithm based on a difference map.
  • Applying the algorithm to cases with symmetric support constraints.
