The proposed design has many important advantages over existing compressive cameras. First, we can achieve a resolution of N × N pixels using a sensor with N photodetectors; hence, with commercially available SWIR line-detectors with 10k pixels, we can potentially achieve spatial resolutions of 100 megapixels, a capability that is unprecedented. Second, our design is scalable more gracefully across wavebands of light since we only require sensors and optics that are optimized for the wavelengths of interest; in contrast, spatial light modulators like DMDs require expensive coatings to be effective in non-visible wavebands. Third, we can exploit properties of line-detectors including electronic shutters and pixels with large aspect ratios to optimize light throughput. On the ip side, a drawback of our approach is the need for moving components in the imaging architecture. |
