S2O-FSPI: Fourier single pixel imaging via sampling strategy optimization

Abstract

It is necessary to artificially set the sampling strategy of Fourier single-pixel imaging (FSPI) to obtain more useful information of the image under the assumption that the image information is mainly concentrated in the low-frequency part of the spatial frequency domain. However, due to the empiricism sampling strategy, it is easy to sample the spatial frequencies with low contribution to image reconstruction, resulting in a waste of sampling resources. To solve this problem, a one-stage FSPI reconstruction network with sampling strategy optimization is designed to obtain the efficient sampling strategy and improve the reconstruction quality. The proposed one-stage FSPI reconstruction network contains the sampling strategy optimization module and reconstruction module, which are jointly trained to obtain high-quality reconstructed results and efficient sampling strategy simultaneously. Experiments and numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Moreover, the geometric topology of the optimal sampling strategy for FSPI reconstruction trained on various categories of datasets is summarized. It is found that the dataset with similar categories have the similar geometric topology of the optimal sampling strategy, which provides support for sampling strategy selection in subsequent Fourier single-pixel imaging studies.
