THz Transmitter THz Receiver Object THz Time-domain Imaging • Pixel-by-pixel scanning • Limitations: acquisition time vs. resolution • Faster imaging method
R “sparse” signal / image (K-sparse) Measurements (random projections) Measurement Matrix (e.g., random Fourier) information rate High-speed THz Imaging with Compressed Sensing (CS) • Take fewer ( ) measurements • Reconstruct via nonlinear processing(optimization) (Donoho, IEEE Trans. on Information Theory, 52(4), pp. 1289 - 1306, April 2006)
