Single-pixel imaging with origami pattern construction

Abstract: Single-pixel compressive imaging can recover images from a small amount of measurements, offering many benefits especially for the scenes where the array detection is unavailable. However, the widely used random patterns fail to explore internal relations between the patterns and the image reconstruction. Here we propose a single-pixel imaging method based on origami pattern construction with a better imaging quality, but with less uncertainty of the pattern sequence. It can decrease the sampling ratio even to 0.5\%, really realizing super sub-Nyquist sampling. The experimental realization of this approach is a big step forward toward the real-time compressive video applications.
