Currently, the optical components of a camera embedded in the device constrain its overall thickness. Moreover, if the camera is strongly shaken, the lens and sensor may be misaligned, resulting in a defocusing effect. In this paper, we propose a novel lensless-camera communication model, which removes the lens of camera, therefore decreasing the overall thickness of the device without affecting communications. To decode the images captured by the lensless camera, a decoding algorithm aided by back propagation (BP) neural network was designed, which recognizes the blurred image patterns efficiently. To adapt to time-varying environments, an adaptive training sequence adjustment mechanism was designed. Simulation results show that the proposed image decoding algorithm presents a good bit-error-rate (BER) performance. The proposed system has robust movements and provides resilience to interference, benefiting from the neural network and the designed algorithm.
