Algorithm of image reconstruction in the problem of object detection during circular microscanning

Abstract

A model of image recording in the circular microscanning regime is considered. An algorithm that allows obtaining an image with a large number of samples from a set of smaller-size frames for a known path of the scanning array is proposed. Numerical simulations are performed to estimate the changes in the amplitude of a small-size object with a static position of the photodetector array and microscanning in the start/stop mode. The influence of the gap between the array elements and scanning radius on the object amplitude is studied. The final ratio of the object amplitude to the random noise level in the case of static accumulation and circular microscanning in the start/stop mode are compared for arrays with different sizes of the gap between the array elements.
