SweepCam - Depth-aware Lensless Imaing using Programmable Masks

2020 
: Lensless cameras, while extremely useful for imaging in constrained scenarios, struggle with resolving scenes with large depth variations. To resolve this, we propose imaging with a set of mask patterns displayed on a programmable mask, and introduce a computational focusing operator that helps to resolve the depth of scene points. As a result, the proposed imager can resolve dense scenes with large depth variations, allowing for more practical applications of lensless cameras. We also present a fast reconstruction algorithm for scene at multiple depths that reduces reconstruction time by two orders of magnitude. Finally, we build a prototype to show the proposed method improves both image quality and depth resolution of lensless cameras.
