Robust bistatic ghost imaging with no physical synchronization.

Ghost imaging (GI) requires each echo from the object being correctly matched with the corresponding illuminiation pattern. We proposed a way for such matching with no physical synchronization towards bistatic configuration. The illumination is dually encoded in spatial and time domain. With aperiodic waveform and progressive correlation, the echoes can be correctly located and images can be obtained. In the experiments, our scheme is verified under different levels of signal to noise ratios, as well as different intensity of crosstalk. Ghost imaging with two transmitters and one receiver is also demonstrated. With our method, it is also possible to improve the imaging speed with multiple sources.
