The invention discloses a high resolution micro-vision system based on calculating ghost imaging and a method of obtaining images. The system successively comprises, on a light path, a laser source, a first diaphragm, a laser beam expanding lens, a collimating lens, a second diaphragm, a polarizer, a spatial light modulator, a polarization analyzer, a third diaphragm, a reflector, a beam splitter mirror, a convergent lens and a CCD camera, and also comprises a precision positioning objective table located on another light path of the beam splitter mirror and connected with a computer; the computer is also separately in connection with the spatial light modulator and the CCD camera, and obtains high resolution images through the calculating ghost imaging technology. The high resolution micro-vision system has a simple and compact structure, and employs light field intensity correlation measurement to recover object information, thereby eliminating the problem of classic optical system imaging distortion, and can obtain high accuracy and contrast images. The high resolution micro-vision system is very helpful for micro-vision system design and ghost imaging technology research.
