Adaptive Ghost Imaging Based on 2D-Haar Wavelets

Abstract

To improve the imaging speed of ghost imaging and ensure the accuracy of the images, an adaptive ghost imaging scheme based on 2D-Haar wavelets has been proposed. This scheme is capable of significantly retaining image information even under under-sampling conditions. By comparing the differences in light intensity distribution and sampling characteristics between Hadamard and 2D-Haar wavelet illumination patterns, we discovered that the lateral and longitudinal information detected by the high-frequency 2D-Haar wavelet measurement basis could be used to predictively adjust the diagonal measurement basis, thereby reducing the number of measurements required. Simulation and experimental results indicate that this scheme can still achieve high-quality imaging results with about a 25% reduction in the number of measurements. This approach provides a new perspective for enhancing the efficiency of computational ghost imaging.
