Single-Pixel Imaging Based on Deep Learning Enhanced Singular Value Decomposition

Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a single-pixel imaging method based on deep learning network enhanced singular value decomposition. The theoretical framework and the experimental implementation are elaborated and compared with the conventional methods based on Hadamard patterns or deep convolutional autoencoder network. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed approach is capable of reconstructing images with better quality especially under a low sampling ratio down to 3.12%, or with fewer measurements or shorter acquisition time if the image quality is given. We further demonstrate that it has better anti-noise performance by introducing noises in the SPI systems, and we show that it has better generalizability by applying the systems to targets outside the training dataset. We expect that the developed method will find potential applications based on single-pixel imaging beyond the visible regime.
