It is found that scattering can enhance data robustness against spatial pixel loss by effectively distributing information and it is demonstrated that scattering can enable distinctions of focal depth information.
Abstract
Optical scattering has conventionally been regarded as an impediment in imaging research due to the degradation of image quality during reconstruction. Nevertheless, this study explores two cases in which optical scattering may serve a beneficial role in image reconstruction tasks. We compared the No Scattering MNIST dataset with three Scattering MNIST datasets, each generated under distinct scattering conditions. To assess the information content of the resulting speckle patterns, we employed a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) approach which achieves accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art deep learning approaches, but has an interpretable latent space. We find that scattering can enhance data robustness against spatial pixel loss by effectively distributing information. We also demonstrate that scattering can enable distinctions of focal depth information. We anticipate that these findings will contribute to more efficient imaging techniques, particularly in the presence of obstacles and three-dimensional signals.
Haze conditions degrade image quality via atmospheric scattering and absorption, posing challenges for optical imaging applications. In recent years, deep learning has emerged as an effective method for dehazing images. However, data-driven deep learning dehazing methods typically require large amounts of labeled train...

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has shown great potential in areas ranging from remote sensing to medical imaging due to its ability to capture detailed spectral information across hundreds of bands. However, direct HSI acquisition remains costly and challenging. In contrast, RGB imaging is inexpensive but limited to three...

We propose an untrained deep neural network framework for joint amplitude–phase retrieval in single-pixel imaging (SPI). In many advanced optical applications, e.g., quantitative phase microscopy and coherent diffractive imaging, the object of interest is inherently complex-valued. However, conventional SPI approaches...
