Abstract
Speckle correlation imaging (SCI) has found tremendous versatility compared with other scattering imaging approaches due to its single-shot data acquisition strategy, relatively simple optical setup, and high-fidelity reconstruction performance. However, this simplicity requires SCI experiments to be performed strictly in a darkroom condition. As background noise increases, the speckle contrast rapidly decreases, making precise interpretation of the data extremely difficult. Here, we demonstrate a method by refining the speckle in the autocorrelation domain to achieve high-performance single-shot imaging. Experiment results prove that our method is adapted to estimate objects in a low signal-to-background ratio (SBR) circumstance even if the SBR is about $-{23}\;{\rm dB}$. Laboratory and outdoor SCI experiments are performed.
