Rapid tracking through strongly scattering media with physics-informed neuromorphic speckle analysis

This work addresses the critical problem of tracking fast-moving objects through strongly scattering media in a low-light environment. Different from existing approaches that use frame-based cameras with fixed exposure times, which trade off signal-to-noise ratio for temporal resolution, we introduce computational neuromorphic tracking (CNT), a physics-informed framework that combines asynchronous event sensing with task-driven speckle analysis for robust motion estimation. We formulate the neuromorphic speckle aggregation as a spatiotemporal speckle representation, jointly optimizing the temporal and spatial parameters to maximize tracking stability under extreme conditions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method enables robust motion tracking of 10x faster motion and under 10x dimmer illumination compared to conventional systems. These improvements significantly broaden the operational regime for tracking through scattering media, providing an efficient and scalable solution for demanding scenarios involving rapid motion and low-light conditions.

Inverse Design of Metasurface for Spectral Imaging

Inverse design of metasurfaces for the joint optimization of optical modulation and algorithmic decoding in computational optics presents significant challenges, especially in applications such as hyperspectral imaging. We introduce a physics-data co-driven framework for designing reconfigurable metasurfaces fabricated from the phase-change material Ge2Sb2Se4Te1 to achieve compact, compressive spectral imaging in the shortwave infrared region. Central to our approach is a differentiable neural simulator, trained on over 320,000 simulated geometries, that accurately predicts spectral responses across 11 crystallization states. This differentiability enables end-to-end joint optimization of the metasurface geometry, its spectral encoding function, and a deep reconstruction network. We also propose a soft shape regularization technique that preserves manufacturability during gradient-based updates. Experiments show that our optimized system improves reconstruction fidelity by up to 7.6 dB in the peak-signal-to-noise ratio, with enhanced noise resilience and improved measurement matrix conditioning, underscoring the potential of our approach for high-performance hyperspectral imaging.
