Abstract
Alternating projection based methods, such as ePIE and rPIE, have been used widely in ptychography. However, they only work well if there are adequate measurements (diffraction patterns); in the case of sparse data (i.e. fewer measurements) alternating projection underperforms and might not even converge. In this paper, we propose semi-implicit relaxed Douglas Rachford (sir-DR), an accelerated iterative method, to solve the classical ptychography problem. Using both simulated and experimental data, we show that sir-DR improves the convergence speed and the reconstruction quality relative to ePIE and rPIE. Furthermore, in certain cases when sparsity is high, sir-DR converges while ePIE and rPIE fail. To facilitate others to use the algorithm, we post the Matlab source code of sir-DR on a public website (www.physics.ucla.edu/research/imaging/sir-DR). We anticipate that this algorithm can be generally applied to the ptychographic reconstruction of a wide range of samples in the physical and biological sciences.
