Patent ID: 7812303

Claim:
A method for generating an image of a subject illuminated by a light source which can be an incoherent, partially coherent, chaotic or entangled light source comprising; receiving light reflected from the subject into at least one first receiver at predetermined time intervals; receiving light from the light source into at least one second receiver and detecting spatial information regarding the light source at corresponding time intervals independent of light from the subject; the at least one first receiver and the at least one second receiver being operatively connected to at least one processor, transmitting a measured value correlating to the amount of light reflected from the subject at the predetermined intervals of time from at least one first receiver to at least one processor; correlating the measured values from the at least one first receiver at the predetermined intervals of time with the spatial information derived from the at least one second receiver at the corresponding intervals of time; creating an image of the subject based upon the correlated measured values and spatial information by combining the spatial information from at least one second receiver at predetermined intervals of time with the measured values from at least one first receiver at the corresponding intervals of time.
