Imaging a randomly translating object at low light levels using the triple correlation
Abstract
An imaging photon detector has been used to reconstruct an image of a randomly translating one-dimensional object at average photon rates of less than one signal photon per frame. The method used relies on the shift-invariance and Fourier-phase preserving properties of the triple correlation function.
