Abstract

Computational imaging faces significant challenges in dealing with multiple scattering through thick complex media. While deep learning has addressed some ill-posed problems in scattering imaging, its practical application is limited by the acquisition of the training dataset. In this study, the Gaussian-distributed envelope of the speckle image is employed to simulate the point spread function (PSF), and the training dataset is obtained by the convolution of the handwritten digits with the PSF. This approach reduces the requirement of time and conditions for constructing the training dataset and enables a neural network trained on this dataset to reconstruct objects obscured by an unknown scattering medium in real experiments. The quality of reconstructed objects is negatively correlated with the thickness of the scattering medium. Our proposed method provides a new way, to the best of our knowledge, to apply deep learning in scattering imaging by reducing the time needed for constructing the training dataset.
