Description
Summary:Benefiting from the memory effect (ME) for speckle intensity correlations, only one single-shot speckle pattern can be used for the high-quality recovery of objects. However, ME gives a restriction to the field of view (FOV) for imaging with scattering media. Objects beyond the ME region cannot be recovered and produce unwanted speckle patterns, which cause reduction in the speckle contrast and recovery quality. Nevertheless, all the spatial information from a large object is embedded in a single speckle image. Here, we extract the spatial information from these unavoidable speckle patterns and enlarge the FOV of the imaging system with scattering media. Regional point spreading functions, which are fixed and only need to be recorded once for all-time use, are employed to recover corresponding spatial regions of an object by deconvolution. Then, an automatic weighted averaging in an iterative process is performed to obtain the object with significantly enlarged FOV. Our results present an important advancement of imaging techniques with strongly scattering media.
