Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of image processing and computational imaging, and in particular relates to a single-exposure multi-spectral computational imaging method, system and equipment based on a metasurface. Background Art

[0002] Traditional all-optical (lens) imaging systems map each point of an image sample onto a separate sensor pixel, directly producing a reliable spatial image. However, this method requires complex optical equipment (a series of lenses or lens groups), and without additional spectral filters or microlens arrays, it is usually unable to capture accurate spectral information, and it is even more difficult to achieve multispectral imaging.

[0003] In lensless computational imaging systems, a lensless optical system projects a blurred image of the target sample onto a sensor and reconstructs the target light field by solving a subsequent "inverse scattering" problem (via methods such as least squares fitting). However, the "inverse scattering" problem to be solved is usually ill-posed, sensitive to noise, and often requires high computational memory and computing power.

[0004] In recent years, an "end-to-end" optimization method has emerged in the field of computational imaging. This is a systematic method that combines the front-end analog optical system with the image processing digital back-end for optimization. It can be used for multi-channel multi-spectral single-exposure computational imaging. The performance of the imaging system designed based on this method is better than that of pure optical design and pure digital computational imaging design. The introduction of end-to-end optimization methods into the frontier fields of full-wave vector nanophotonics and optical metasurfaces has demonstrated strong physical data acquisition and manipulation capabilities.

[0005] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are as follows:

[0006] (1) Existing technologies require multiple exposures to reconstruct target samples on multiple spectra.

[0007] (2) The existing technology requires the construction of a complex optical path system, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0008] (3) The existing technology has poor reconstruction effect on images collected by single exposure, cannot accurately solve the "inverse scattering" problem, and the reconstructed image quality is low. Summary of the invention

[0009] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention provide a single-exposure multi-spectral computational imaging method, system and device based on a metasurface.

[0010] The technical solution is as follows: A single-exposure multi-spectral computational imaging method based on a metasurface comprises: an optimized metasurface optical system performs a one-time exposure on images of different channels, and collects point spreading functions (PSFs) of optical imaging systems of different channels;

[0011] In the image reconstruction stage, the conjugate gradient algorithm is used to restore the original sample image through the point spread function (PSF) of different channels and the imaging information on the sensor to obtain image restoration in multiple bands.

[0012] In one embodiment, the single-exposure multi-spectral computational imaging method based on a metasurface specifically comprises the following steps:

[0022] PSF=|ntff(t(p)·E in )| 2 (2);

[0023] Where p is the structural parameter of the optical metasurface, t(p) is the transmission coefficient of the optical metasurface, and E in is the incident electric field, ntff(·) represents the conversion from near field to far field;

[0024] 2) The image v on the array sensor is obtained by convolution of the point spread function PSF of the metasurface and the real scene image u:

[0047] In one embodiment, the system is optimized in combination with a gradient descent algorithm including:

[0048] The updating method of the parameters to be optimized is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] Among them, P is the variable to be optimized, including p and α, and β is the dynamic learning rate. The specific value depends on the selected stochastic gradient descent method and Adam algorithm.
