This study presents a cutting-edge imaging technique for special unmanned vehicles (UAVs) designed to enhance tunnel inspection capabilities. This technique integrates ghost imaging inspired by the human visual system with lateral inhibition and variable resolution to improve environmental perception in challenging conditions, such as poor lighting and dust. By emulating the high-resolution foveal vision of the human eye, this method significantly enhances the efficiency and quality of image reconstruction for fine targets within the region of interest (ROI).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFGhost imaging (GI) has been widely used in the applications including spectral imaging, 3D imaging, and other fields due to its advantages of broad spectrum and anti-interference. Nevertheless, the restricted sampling efficiency of ghost imaging has impeded its extensive application. In this work, we propose a novel foveated pattern affine transformer method based on deep learning for efficient GI.
