Lens-Loaded Coded Aperture with Increased Information Capacity for Computational Microwave Imaging

Computational Photography: Coded Exposure and Coded Aperture Imaging

The emerging field of computational photography is exploring the possibilities of digital photography beyond the imitation of film cameras. Novel illumination, optics, sensors, and processing methods are employed to expand the set of images that cameras can create. This thesis introduces the field of computational photography and presents two exemplary techniques that address the problem of blu...

Depth-of-Field and Coded Aperture Imaging on XSlit Lens

Recent coded aperture imaging systems have shown great success in scene reconstruction, extended depth-of-field and light field imaging. By far nearly all solutions are built on top of commodity cameras equipped with a single spherical lens. In this paper, we explore coded aperture solutions on a special non-centric lens called the crossedslit (XSlit) lens. An XSlit lens uses a relay of two ort...

Compressive coded aperture imaging

Nonlinear image reconstruction based upon sparse representations of images has recently received widespread attention with the emerging framework of compressed sensing (CS). This theory indicates that, when feasible, judicious selection of the type of distortion induced by measurement systems may dramatically improve our ability to perform image reconstruction. However, applying compressed sens...

Coded aperture compressive temporal imaging

We use mechanical translation of a coded aperture for code division multiple access compression of video. We discuss the compressed video's temporal resolution and present experimental results for reconstructions of > 10 frames of temporal data per coded snapshot.
