Image watermarking and fusion based on Fourier single-pixel imaging with weighed light source

Abstract

In previous single-pixel imaging systems, the light source was generally idle with respect to time. Here, we propose a novel image fusion and visible watermarking scheme based on Fourier single-pixel imaging (FSPI) with a multiplexed time-varying (TV) signal, which is generated by the watermark pattern hidden in the light source. We call this scheme as TV-FSPI. With TV-FSPI, we can realize high-quality visible image watermarking, encrypted image watermarking and full-color visible image watermarking. We also discuss the extension to invisible watermarking based on TV-FSPI. Furthermore, we don't have to recode illumination patterns, because TV-FSPI can be extended to existing mainstream illumination patterns, such as random illumination mode and Hadamard illumination mode. Thus TV-FSPI has the potential to be used in single-pixel broadcasting system and multi-spectral single-pixel imaging system.

Instant ghost imaging: improving robustness for ghost imaging subject to optical background noise

“…Ghost imaging (GI) is an imaging technique that generates the image of an object by calculating the second-order correlation function between two light beams [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Ghost imaging has been widely researched in recent years [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]; it has important applications in many fields such as cryptography [17,18], lidar [19,20], medical imaging [21,22], micro object imaging [23,24], three-dimensional imaging [25][26][27][28] and single-pixel imaging [29][30][31][32][33]. In many practical scenes, GI is subject to interference from the transmission medium and from optical background noise.…”
