Development of Compressive Imaging from Novelty to Practicality

Abstract:

In this talk I will stress both mathematical and optical issues associated with implementing compressive imaging including examples of infrared cameras, hyperspectral microscopy, compressive video, and high-speed detection. The two microscopy examples will highlight first its effectiveness in analyzing plasmon resonances of gold nanobelts by compressive dark-field microscopy and second in providing surface chemical sensitivity via compressive sum-frequency generation microscopy. Recent breakthroughs in compressive video acquisition and reconstruction that make this strategy truly everyday will also be presented. Lastly, I will touch upon the machine vision capability of compressive measurements to sense and rapidly recognize objects.
