Interferometric Lensless Endoscopy: Rank-one Projections of Image Frequencies with Speckle Illuminations

Abstract: Lensless endoscopy (LE) with multicore fibers (MCF) enables fluorescent imaging of biological samples at cellular scale. In this talk, we will see that under a common far-field approximation, the corresponding imaging process is tantamount to collecting multiple rank-one projections (ROP) of an Hermitian “interferometric” matrix–a matrix encoding a subsampling of the Fourier transform of the sample image.
