SYMMETRY BREAKING TRANSLATION FOR MODAL IMAGING

Abstract:

A method includes receiving a first modal image based on radiation collected from an object via an aperture, wherein the radiation is separated into the first modal image having an original origin, receiving a second modal image based on radiation collected from the object via the aperture, wherein the radiation is separated into the second modal image having a shifted origin, translating the second modal image to the original origin, and deriving an image of the object as a function of the collective overlap between the first modal image and the translated second modal image. Repeating the process with additional shift images improves the resolution of the final digitally generated image.
