COMPRESSIVE IMAGING USING STRUCTURED ILLUMINATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- selectively illuminating a scene during a plurality of time intervals with different subsets of a plurality of lighting elements to form a different illumination pattern in each of the plurality of time intervals; and
measuring a plurality of intensities of light reflected by the scene and received by the sensor while the scene is illuminated by the different illumination patterns during the plurality of time intervals.

Abstract
A plurality of lighting elements is configured to selectively illuminate a scene during a plurality of time intervals. The plurality of lighting elements forms a different illumination pattern in each of the plurality of time intervals. One or more sensors are configured to measure a plurality of intensities of light received from the scene during the plurality of time intervals. A processor is configured to generate an image of the scene based on the plurality of intensities. In some cases, the plurality of lighting elements are switched on or off to produce different illumination patterns during a plurality of time intervals that too short to be perceptible to the human eye.
