Abstract

Recently compressive sensor developed as an imager for capturing images effectively has been studied extensively. In this paper, we design a new imager to reconstruct high resolution image from a low resolution blurred image obtained by the intended movable random exposure. This imager grabs an image by moving a camera with a randomly fluttering shutter along a certain motion route. By analyzing this kind of movable random exposure process, we find it can be considered as compressive sampling described in the compressive sensing (CS) theory. Then according to the CS theory, the exposure result of this imager can be used to recover a high resolution image. Since this imager consists only a movable camera and a fluttered shutter, it is relatively simple and easy to implement. The simulation results show that the proposed imager can recover high even ultra-high resolution images with good reconstruction performance.
