Designing optical 3D images encryption and reconstruction using monospectral synthetic aperture integral imaging

This paper realizes an optical 3D images encryption and reconstruction by employing the geometric calibration algorithm to the monospectral synthetic aperture integral imaging system. This method has the simultaneous advantages of improving the quality of 3D images by eliminating the crosstalk from the unaligned cameras and increasing security of the multispectral 3D images encryption by importing the random generated maximum-length cellular automata into the Fresnel transform encoding algorithm. Furthermore, compared with the previous 3D images encryption methods of encrypting 3D multispectral information, the proposed method only encrypts monospectral data, which will greatly minimize the complexity. We present experimental results of 3D image encryption and volume pixel computational reconstruction to test and verify the performance of the proposed method. Experimental results validate the feasibility and robustness of our proposed approach, even under severe degradation.
