A solution to the inverse problem of non-coherent image propagation

Abstract

We derive a formula for the non-coherent wave field propagation in terms of the Fourier transformation. As a result, we find a theoretical solution of the inverse problem of image propagation in non-coherent case. However, the practical solution of the inverse problem in a numerical way leads to rapidly decreasing SNR. We also discuss origin and behavior of that phenomenon. Some numerical examples are presented.
