AbstractWe propose ghost imaging (GI) with deep learning to improve detection speed. GI, which uses an illumination light with random patterns and a single-pixel detector, is correlation-based and thus suitable for detecting weak light. However, its detection time is too long for practical inspection. To overcome this problem, we applied a convolutional neural network that was constructed based on a classification of the causes of ghost image degradation. A feasibility experiment showed that when using a digital mirror device projector and a photodiode, the proposed method improved the quality of ghost images.
