Learning to see through multimode fibers

Navid Borhani, Eirini Kakkava, Christophe Moser, Demetri Psaltis

Short summary

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) can reconstruct handwritten digits transmitted through up to 1km of multimode fiber (MMF) by analyzing speckle patterns.

Key points

  • Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) can reconstruct handwritten digits from MMF speckle patterns.
  • Reconstruction was successful for fiber lengths up to 1km.
  • Image reconstruction prior to classification enhances DNN performance.
  • Classification accuracy decreases as MMF length increases.

Abstract

We use Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to classify and reconstruct a large database of handwritten digits from the intensity of the speckle patterns that result after the images propagated through multimode fibers (MMF). Images transmitted through fibers with up to 1km length were recovered. The ability of the network to recognize the input degraded with fiber length but the performance could be enhanced if the neural networks were trained to first reconstruct the image and then classify it rather than classify it directly from the speckle intensity.
