Abstract
Single-pixel imaging systems can obtain images from a wide range of wavelengths at low-cost compared to those using conventional multi-pixel, focal-plane array sensors, especially at wavelengths outside the visible spectrum. The ability to sense short-wave infrared radiation with single-pixel techniques extends imaging capability to adverse weather conditions and environments, such as fog, haze, or night time. In this work, we demonstrate a dual-band single-pixel telescope for imaging at both visible (VIS) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral regions simultaneously under some of these outdoor weather conditions. At 64 × 64 pixel-resolution, our system has achieved continuous VIS and SWIR imaging of various objects at a frame rate up to 2.4 Hz. Visual and contrast comparison between the reconstructed VIS and SWIR images emphasizes the significant contribution of infrared observation using the single-pixel technique. The single-pixel telescope provides an alternative cost-effective imaging solution for synchronized dual-waveband optical applications.
