Description
Summary:Multi-wavelength ghost imaging usually involves extensive data processing and faces challenges such as poor reconstructed image quality. In this paper, we propose a multi-wavelength computational ghost imaging method based on feature dimensionality reduction. This method not only reconstructs high-quality color images with fewer measurements but also achieves low-complexity computation and storage. First, we utilize singular value decomposition to optimize the multi-scale measurement matrices of red, green, and blue components as illumination speckles. Subsequently, each component image of the target object is reconstructed using the second-order correlation function. Next, we apply principal component analysis to perform feature dimensionality reduction on these reconstructed images. Finally, we successfully recover a high-quality color reconstructed image. Simulation and experimental results show that our method not only improves the quality of the reconstructed images but also effectively reduces the computational and storage burden. When extended to multiple wavelengths, our method demonstrates greater advantages, making it more feasible to handle large-scale data.
