Abstract
A method and system for forming an image comprising at least one processor for performing the following: initializing an N by P image array Iby setting all values to a large number; inputting at least one image frame; randomly selecting and removing a subset of pixel locations from the total number of available pixel locations to form a preliminary image array I; for each pixel location comparing the complex magnitude of each pixel in the image array Iwith the magnitude of the corresponding pixel in image array I, and if the pixel value in the image array Iis smaller than the corresponding pixel in the image array Ior if the Ivalue equals 0, then the current pixel value in image array Iis replaced by the pixel value in the image array I; and repeating for a number of iterations to form an image.
