New ptychography method reconstructs images without position data

Researchers have developed a novel method for image reconstruction called position-blind ptychography, which can recover images even without knowing the exact positions of the measurements. This technique is particularly relevant for single-particle X-ray imaging where particles are randomly oriented and their positions are unknown. The study demonstrates the viability of this approach using a simulated 2D variant, employing data-driven variational inference with score-based diffusion models as a strong prior, and shows successful reconstructions under measurement noise.

    Position-Blind Ptychography: Viability of image reconstruction via data-driven variational inference

    arXiv:2509.25269v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this work, we present and investigate the novel blind inverse problem of position-blind ptychography, i.e., ptychographic phase retrieval without any knowledge of scan positions, which then must be recovered jointly wit…
