Summary
Single-pixel optical systems using compressive detection can transmit images through scattering media without prior calibration. This method overcomes limitations of traditional wavefront control, especially for dynamic media.
Area of Science:
- Optics and Photonics
- Image Transmission
- Scattering Media
Background:
- Light propagation through scattering media depletes ballistic photons, limiting image transmission.
- Wavefront control methods exist but often require calibration.
- Dynamic scattering media pose challenges for existing techniques.
Purpose of the Study:
