Emerging Vision Technology: SPI Camera an Overview

Abstract

Emerging vision technology, particularly Single-Pixel Imaging (SPI) cameras, has garnered significant attention in recent years. This work provides an overview of the advancements and applications of this innovative imaging technique. SPI utilizes improved reconstruction algorithms, enabling the reconstruction of images from compressed measurements obtained using a single detector element. The miniaturization and integration of this technology have led to its incorporation into compact and portable devices, expanding its range of potential applications. Real-time imaging and video capture capabilities have been achieved, allowing for dynamic scene capture and analysis. Enhanced sensitivity and resolution have been achieved through novel hardware and computational techniques. Deep learning approaches have been employed to further enhance the imaging capabilities and extract meaningful information from the acquired data. Medical imaging, biophotonics, object recognition, tracking, remote sensing, Earth observation, industrial inspection, and quality control are among the diverse areas benefiting from this technology. The continuous advancements in SPI cameras hold great promise for revolutionizing various fields and unlocking new opportunities for imaging and analysis.
