Abstract
A system includes a reflective mask positioned in a first plane, a digital micromirror device (DMD) that is positioned in a second plane to receive transmitted light from the reflective mask via a non-confocal channel. The DMD includes micromirrors that rotate between an ON state and an OFF state. The system further includes an ON image detector that captures ON image data of the transmitted light directed by the micromirrors in the ON state and an OFF image detector that captures OFF image data of the transmitted light directed by the micromirrors in the OFF state. A method of image reconstruction includes using the captured data to compare against artificial image data created by a machine learning model/reconstruction network and iteratively updating weights (e.g., of the machine learning model/reconstruction network) for generating an artificial image from the artificial image data until a minimum threshold is reached.
