a b s t r a c t In 4F system, compressed sensing is usually implemented by using phase modulation in Fourier domain. In this paper, we present a type of 4F system based on intensity modulation in Fourier domain as the measurement system for compressed sensing. The feasibility of this system is demonstrated. At the point of coherence, the two modulation methods are compared and superiority of intensity modulation in Fourier domain was verified. Simulations are presented and the conclusion we presented is validated. Finally, we analyze the results. © 2014 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
1. Introduction Recently, compressed sensing (CS) theory was discussed widely [1–3]. Compared with the traditional sampling method, compressed sensing is based on the sparsity of signal. In the compressed sensing framework, we need to design a random matrix to measure signal and recover the signal by convex optimization. Actually, the measurement procedure can be understood as projecting the signal into a random vector of a measurement matrix. By using random measurement, CS can hugely reduce the sampling ratio which is lower than the Nyquist sampling ratio, as a result we save the time spent on the sampling and data size of the sampling value is smaller than before. Its appearance is very important to the signal process. CS has been found to have wide usage in many applications, such as optical imaging [4,5], biomedical imaging [6], high-speed wireless communication [7], etc. In the imaging field, the single pixel camera based on compressed sensing has been presented by Davenport M.A. [8]. The advantage of single pixel camera is its suitability for optical systems. In the compressed imaging field, Rebecca M. Willett’s group improved the image resolution by using compressed coded aperture [9]. Gonzalo R. Arceze presented the variable density compressed image sampling [10]. Justin Romberg proved that the measurement system consisted of the 4F system based on phase modulation in the Fourier domain can meet compressed sensing requirements [11].
Inspired by Justin Romberg, we present our purposed measurement system consisting of the 4F system based on intensity modulation in the Fourier domain and proves it to be fitted for compressed sensing. Another contribution of this paper is that compared to the measurement system using phase modulation in the Fourier domain [11], the superiority of our purposed system was verified at the point of coherence. This work is organized as follows: Section 2 introduces the principle of compressed sensing. Section 3 contains the main theoretical work of this paper and we construct the 4F system based on intensity modulation in the Fourier domain as the measurement system. Section 4 is the numerical simulation, in which the feasibility of our imaging system is validated. Finally, Section 5 concludes this paper. 2. Principle of compressed sensing The principle of compressed sensing can be expressed as follow. To recover the unknown signal x ∈ Rn , we need to measure it and the measurement results can be written as: y1 = x, 1 · · ·ym = x, m
k is a measurement vector whose size is same as signal x·yi is measurement value. We can use as the measurement system, where the k are stacked up as the rows in . The measurement process can be expressed as: y = ˚x = ˚˛ (x = ˛).

In general, if one wants to recover signal x from y, we need m ≥ n, but when signal x is sparse in an orthogonal basis (i.e. there are relatively few nonzero entries in ˛ and the number of nonzero

The measurement system in Fig. 1 is shown as follow: √ ˚ = nF ∗ PF, (6) Fig. 1. Compressed sensing based on intensity modulation in 4f system.
entries is K, called K-sparse), then it is possible to reconstruct signal x with m n. For general images, there always is a space spanned by a proper orthogonal basis where the image signal is sparse. Aurelien Bourquard believes that the importance of is its mere existence [12]. Based on the sparse property, if matrix = ˚ satisfies the RIP (restricted isometry property), the signal can be recovered accurately from the relatively fewer samples. The RIP is briefly reviewed later. Suppose T ⊂ {1, 2 . . . N} and |T| ≤ K, ˚T which is indexed by T, is a subset of . ık is the minimal constant which satisfies Eq. (4) and it is correlated to T and K. If there are that meets Eq. (3), then we say that satisfies RIP. From the point of RIP, the goal of the designing or optimizing measure system is making ık as minimal as possible. (1 − ık )||x||22 ≤ ||T x||22 ≤ (1 + ık )||x||22
(3)
RIP is a sufficient but not necessary condition, and it is hard to determine whether or not the measurement system meets RIP by algorithm. In fact, to implement compressed sensing, one always designs the measurement system which is incoherent or low coherent with . The coherence can be defined as follows. Suppose the measurement system is , and the orthogonal basis is . The coherence can then be written as:
= maxl,k l , k ,

where l is the lth √row in and k is the kth column in . In (4), satisfies 1 ≤ ≤ N. Based on conditions before, recovering signal x is a convex optimization problem as shown in Eq. (5)

3. System scheme Romberg has proven that the 4F system using phase modulation in the Fourier domain can be incoherent with any orthogonal basis [11]. Based on Romberg’s research, we present a type of 4F system based on intensity modulation in the Fourier domain as the measurement system. Section 3.1 introduces the composition of our imaging system. Sections 3.2 and 3.3 verify feasibility and superiority of our purposed measurement system respectively in theory. 3.1. Composition of imaging system The basic composition of our purposed imaging system contains a measurement and sparse sampling system which are schematically presented in Fig. 1. The measurement system is composed of a pair of Fourier lenses and intensity SLM (spatial light modulator) and finishing modulation of input signal. The sparse sampling system randomly selects pixel locations and uses the pixel values of these positions as input signal for imaging system. The process is shown as follows. At first, laser beam is expanded and collimated. A transmissive object is located in the way of beam. Intensity distribution after the object is regarded as the input signal for this imaging system. In the Fourier domain (i.e. the back focal plane of the first Fourier lens), the intensity SLM modulates the frequency of the input signal. On the imaging plane (i.e. the
where F is a two-dimensional discrete Fourier matrix which represents a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transformation (as shown in (7)), F* is the conjugate matrix of F, and P (as shown in (8)) represents the intensity modulation in Fourier domain. The elements of P distribute uniformly and independently in the interval [0,1]. 1 F(u, v) = √ e−i2 (u−1)(v−1)/N N

ann 3.2. Incoherence analysis Many works show that the key of implementing compressed sensing is designing a measurement system which is incoherent with any fixed orthogonal basis . According to the definition of coherence in Eq. (4) and the conclusion in [11], when coherence satisfies Eq. (9), the measurement system is nearly incoherent with the orthogonal basis. As a at the smallest sampling ratio. result, we can reconstruct a signal With the coherence smaller than 2 log(4n2 /ı), the probability of
P(maxl,k |˚l , k | < 2 log(4n2 /ı)) will exceed 1 − ı (as shown in (8)) and will approach 1 [11].
P(maxl,k |˚l , k | < 2
log(4n2 /ı)) > 1 − ı
(9)
Based on the analysis before, it is obvious that if the proposed measurement system can satisfy (8), then it will fit for compressed sensing. According to the expression of matrix P in (7), the coherence can be written as:

In the complex plane, it is obvious that |ei | = | cos + i sin | = 1
(cos + i sin )ajj ˆ k (j) ≤ ajj ˆ k (j)

Because of |ajj | ∈ [0, 1], (13) can be written as:
(cos + i sin )ajj ˆ k (j) ≤ ˆ k (j)

According to Eqs. (7) and (15), we conclude that our purposed measurement system based on intensity modulation in the Fourier domain is incoherent with an arbitrary orthogonal basis, therefore this measurement system satisfies CS requirements. 3.3. Advantage of intensity modulation method In this section, we will show that at the point of incoherence the measurement system based on intensity modulation in Fourier domain is better than the one which uses phase modulation framework.

the image plane. Suppose the sampling matrix S is a logical matrix which contains 0 and 1. In the sampling matrix, 1 represents sampling at this location and 0 indicates the opposite operation. The percentage of 1s in sampling matrix S can be regarded as the sampling ratio. For example, if the input image is “Lena” whose size is 100 × 100 in numerical simulation, then we recover the image at a 50% sampling ratio. The simulation result is shown in Fig. 2. To denote the sampling procedure, define the operation between two matrices A {ai } and B = {b1 } with identical dimension as A B = {ai · bi }. The modulated and IFT transformed signal can be described as: y = S (˚x)

of Comparing Eq. (13) with Eq. (21), in Eq. (13), the upper bound ˆ k (j), every term in coherence with intensity modulation is ajj ˆ k (j). but in Eq. (21), the upper bound in phase modulation is The key points of the compressed sensing are sparsity and incoherence. For the same signal, without considering sparsity, the quality of the compressed sensing system is dependent on the incoherence. With lower coherence, the measurement system ˚ is more incoherent with . As a result, we need a smaller sampling number ˆ k (j)| < | ˆ k (j)|, our to recover the original signal. Because of |ajj || proposed measurement method is better. 4. Numerical simulations 4.1. Simulations based on intensity modulation The feasibility of the proposed system is validated by a numerical experiment in this section. Based on the measurement mentioned in Section 3, the same sampling method [11,13] has been used—sampling randomly on
4.2.1. Recover the image in two frameworks We contrast the recovered images modulated by intensity and phase modulation in the Fourier domain. The results are shown in Fig. 3. When the sampling ratio is relative low, the quality of images recovered by using intensity modulation are better than the ones modulated by using phase modulation. For example, when the sampling ratio is 45%, the details in (a3) are clearer compared to (b3). But it is just subjective judgment. In the next section we will introduce the SNR (signal to noise ratio) to evaluate the two groups of Fig. 3. 4.2.2. Image quality assessment by SNR We introduce signal-to-noise to evaluate the recovered images. The SNR [10] can be written as:
M−1 N−1 x=0
y=0
SNR = 101 g M−1 N−1 x=0
y=0
[f (x, y) − f¯ ]

[I(x, y) − f (x, y)]

(23)
In Eq. (16), f is the original image, f¯ is average value of f and I is the reconstructed image. The calculated results are presented in Tables 1 and 2. The contrast line is shown in Fig. 4. It is necessary to declare that at the sampling rate 65%, the recovered images are so good by both modulation methods and their SNRs are infinite which cannot be drawn, thus we use 100 to replace the infinite value. In Fig. 4, the red lines represent the SNRs for recovered images by using intensity modulation in the Fourier domain, and

the blue lines represent the ones recovered by using phase modulation in Fourier domain. It is easy to see that when the sampling ratio is low, the SNRs by intensity modulation are higher than the SNRs by phase modulation in the mass, therefore signal can be
We demonstrated that a 4F system based on intensity modulation in the Fourier domain is fit for compressed sensing. Then we verified the superiority of our proposed system by comparing it with the system of phase modulation in the Fourier domain. Existing problems still remain for future work. Although the two measurement systems are similar, the phase modulation measurement system is orthogonal but the intensity one is not. From the results of simulations, as can be seen, the SNRs from intensity modulation are higher than those from phase modulation which however are not stable. The reasons and how to overcome these disadvantages will be explained and carried out in the future.
