Superresolution photoacoustic tomography using random speckle illumination and second order moments
Idier et al. [IEEE Trans. Comput. Imaging 4(1), 2018] propose a method which achieves superresolution in the microscopy setting by leveraging random speckle illumination and knowledge about statistical second order moments for the illumination patterns and model noise. This is achieved without any assumptions on the sparsity of the imaged object. In this paper, we show that their technique can be extended to photoacoustic tomography. We propose a simple algorithm for doing the reconstruction which only requires a small number of linear algebra steps. It is therefore much faster than the iterative method used by Idier et al. We also propose a new representation of the imaged object based on Dirac delta expansion functions.
