- Practical use is limited by mode coupling and ill-posed reconstruction at low sampling rates.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a high-fidelity reconstruction framework for MMF ghost imaging.
- To enhance resolution and robustness for endoscopic applications.
Main Methods:
- Physics-Constrained Mamba-UNet incorporating a visual state space model (VSSM).
- Integration of a differentiable forward physical observation model.
- Training as a physics-constrained inverse problem.
Main Results:
- Achieved 2.2-fold resolution enhancement and high structural similarity.
- Demonstrated superior performance at sampling rates as low as 5%.
- Framework shows improved robustness against mode-mixing noise.
Conclusions:
- The proposed framework offers a viable pathway for real-time, high-resolution fiber endoscopy.
- Physics-constrained deep learning effectively addresses challenges in MMF ghost imaging.
