Single-pixel imaging: concepts and application to imaging through scattering media

Imaging through scattering media using conventional systems is a significant challenge. Pixaleted systems struggle to handle the light wavefront scrambling that occurs when light is scattered before reaching the detector. This paper presents an imaging technique called single-pixel imaging which is more robust to scattering and allows better image quality when imaging through scattering media. Simulation and experimental works are used to show the capacities of SPI to reconstruct images acquired when a scattering medium is placed between the imaging sensor and the sample. Their results are compared with the images taken using a conventional pixelated system. The implications and limitations of these results are then discussed.
