Lensless computational imaging through deep learning

Lensless imaging with deep learning — see pictures without a lens

Imagine taking a photo with no lens at all and still seeing a clear scene.
Researchers showed that simple computer models can learn to do that.
Using deep learning they taught a system to turn a messy light pattern into a viewable picture.
The trick works for a setup called lensless imaging where light falls on a sensor some distance away and makes a weird blotchy image.

The computer behind it is a neural network, it learned from many examples and then it was able to guess new objects from a single raw image.
It’s like teaching your phone to read sunlight patterns and rebuild what was there, even when you cant see a lens.
The idea is simple and kind of magical, it could lead to smaller cameras or new ways to see through tricky scenes.
You look at what was once just noise and now, wow, there is a picture — and the system still surprise you, sometimes it gets it wrong, sometimes it nails it.
