Abstract

The need to image objects through light-scattering materials is common in a range of applications. Different methods have been investigated to acquire the image of the object when diffusers are presented. In this paper, we demonstrate the object reconstruction with single-shot imaging based on the correlography principle and phase retrieval algorithm with coherent illumination. We prove the possibility of reconstructing positive and negative objects in both transmission and reflection modes with collimated and scattered light. Formulas for calculating the size of the object from the reconstructed image are presented. We also prove that the object can be retrieved from a small section of the raw speckle image. These interesting features will have broad potential applications in many areas (such as biomedicine, security and sensing).
