Negative exponential behavior of image mutual information for pseudo-thermal light ghost imaging: Observation, modeling, and verification
arXiv:1703.08763 · doi:10.1016/j.scib.2017.04.008
Abstract
When use the image mutual information to assess the quality of reconstructed image in pseudo-thermal light ghost imaging, a negative exponential behavior with respect to the measurement number is observed. Based on information theory and a few simple and verifiable assumptions, semi-quantitative model of image mutual information under varying measurement numbers is established. It is the Gaussian characteristics of the bucket detector output probability distribution that leads to this negative exponential behavior. Designed experiments verify the model.
