Abstract

Based on compressive sampling techniques and short exposure imaging, super-resolution imaging with thermal light is experimentally demonstrated exploiting the sparse prior property of images for standard conventional imaging system. Differences between super-resolution imaging demonstrated in this letter and super-resolution ghost imaging via compressive sampling (arXiv. Quant-ph/0911.4750v1 (2009)), and methods to further improve the imaging quality are also discussed.
