Abstract: Based on the theory of single pixel imaging by means of Fourier spectrum acquisition, a single-pixel lens-free imaging method is proposed by loading a series of gray stripes on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and placing a single pixel photoelectric detector in front of it to receive the light projected by an object. Such an imaging system lowers the hardware requirements, being optically compact and flexible. It is verified theoretically that the nonlinearity between the gray scale of the image loaded on the LCD and the intensity of transmitted light has no effects on reconstructed images. The effectiveness of the imaging method is confirmed experimentally. Experimental results show that by reserving a short period of time for the liquid crystal molecules to response after the mask is loaded, the detector is able to detect the light intensity accurately, reduce background noise and interference of conjugate image, and thus improve the quality of reconstructed image.
