Noninvasive imaging of two isolated objects through a thin scattering medium beyond the 3D optical memory effect by speckle-based difference strategy

The shape of two objects hidden behind a thin scattering medium is retrieved by the presented method. One of the two objects keeps stationary, while the other one is supposed to be gradually moving, and the Euclidean distance between them is always beyond the range of the 3D optical memory effect. We capture two speckle patterns to image the two isolated objects by using a developed speckle-differential-based strategy and the traditional speckle autocorrelation technique. The feasibility of our method is demonstrated by theoretical analysis and a set of experiments. (C) 2021 Optica Publishing Group.
