1. A method for coded aperture sensing, comprising:
- passing at least one scene wavefront from a target scene through at least one original binary coded aperture mask comprising transparent and opaque portions thereof, onto a focal plane array, producing a diffracted projection of the target scene; and
processing said diffracted projection into a representation of the target scene by correlating a function of said diffracted projection with a function of a known array pattern of said at least one original binary coded aperture mask and by using at least one reconstructing wavefront for holographic reconstructing.

Abstract
A system and related method for coded aperture sensing, comprising: passing at least one scene wavefront from a target scene through at least one original coded aperture mask onto a focal plane array, producing a diffracted projection of the target scene; and processing the diffracted projection into a representation of the target scene by correlating a function of the diffracted projection with a function of a known array pattern of the at least one original coded aperture mask and by using at least one reconstructing wavefront for holographic reconstructing.
