Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a compressive sensing imaging system which may include a compressive sensing optic (CSO) that includes a plurality of compressive sensing elements (CSEs), a fiber optic bundle (FOB) that includes a plurality of fiber optic elements (FOEs) and a sensor that includes a plurality of optical sensing elements (OSEs). Each CSE is configured to capture a respective random CSE optical sample related to a respective portion of a scene and to provide the respective CSE optical sample to the FOB. Each FOE is configured to integrate one or more accepted scene optical samples to produce an associated compressed optical sample and each scene optical sample corresponds to at least a portion of a respective CSE optical sample. Each FOE is further configured to provide the associated compressed optical sample to the sensor. Each OSE is configured to integrate one or more received sensor optical samples.
