项目摘要

Single-shot ultra-high-speed imaging is of great significance to capture transient phenomena in physics, biology, and chemistry in real time. Existing techniques, however, have a restricted application scope, a low sequence depth, or a limited pixel count. To overcome these limitations, we recently invented a new photography technology-termed compressed optical-streaking ultra-high-speed photography (COSUP), which integrates the computational imaging method termed compressed sensing into the image acquisition process of a standard CMOS camera. In this regard, without modifying the structure of the sensor and by using all off-the-shelf components, COSUP exhibits the enhancement of the imaging speed of a CMOS camera by over four orders of magnitude. As a universal imaging platform, COSUP is suitable to most existing CCD and CMOS cameras, and can be used for a wide range of wavelengths and for acquiring various optical characteristics such as polarization. Besides scientific experiments, COSUP is poised to aid other communities, including the movie industry and sports photography. Finally, COSUP is a significantly economical alternative to existing ultra-high-speed cameras. A market study funded by NSERC and INRS has demonstrated a huge commercial interest in COSUP. This NSERC I2I Phase I project aims to further developing the COSUP technique toward a commercial product. In total, three Aims are proposed to integrate the proof-of-concept COSUP system into a compact prototype, to improve image reconstruction speed in COSUP, and to demonstrate ultrahigh-speed imaging using the COSUP prototype. The solid technical foundation and highly experienced team will ensure the on-time execution and fast progress of this project. Throughout this project, we will closely work with our industrial partners for future technology transfer and device commercialization.

单光超高成像对于实时捕获物理，生物学和化学中的短暂现象具有重要意义。但是，现有技术具有限制的应用程序范围，较低的序列深度或有限的像素计数。为了克服这些局限性，我们最近发明了一种新的摄影技术压缩的光学播放超高摄影（COSUP），该摄影（COSUP）集成了称为压缩感应的计算成像方法中的计算成像方法，将其集成到标准CMOS摄像机的图像采集过程中。在这方面，如果不修改传感器的结构并使用所有现成的组件，COSUP表现出CMOS摄像机的成像速度的提高，则超过四个数量级。作为通用成像平台，COSUP适用于大多数现有的CCD和CMOS摄像机，可用于广泛的波长，并获得各种光学特性，例如极化。除了科学实验外，Cosup准备帮助其他社区，包括电影业和体育摄影。最后，COSUP是现有超高摄像机的重要替代方案。由NSERC和INRS资助的市场研究表明，对撒牙具有巨大的商业兴趣。该NSERC I2I I阶段项目旨在进一步开发用于商业产品的COSUP技术。总共提出了三个目标，以将概念验证的cosup系统整合到紧凑的原型中，以提高cosup中的图像重建速度，并使用cosup原型演示超高速度成像。坚实的技术基础和经验丰富的团队将确保该项目的准时执行和快速进步。在整个项目中，我们将与工业合作伙伴密切合作，以进行未来的技术转移和设备商业化。
