RAPID AND PRECISE OPTICALLY MULTIPLEXED IMAGING

摘要

Described herein are devices and methods for uniquely encoding one or more channels of an optically multiplexed imaging system rapidly and precisely to improve the system's efficiency and performance. The disclosed devices and methods generally provide dynamically variable image encoding that can occur at speeds faster than a capturing frame rate of an image sensor and with a precision that is less than an angular sampling of an image sensor pixel. Such dynamically variable encoding can allow an imaging system to be optimized for use with various scene conditions and sensing objectives, while providing improved efficiency and robustness of disambiguation over prior technologies.
