The curious case of phase dominance .. • Alan V Oppenheim 1981 “Importence of phase in signals” • Many of the important features of the signal are preserved if only phase is retained • Under variety of conditions phase information is alone sufficient to reconstruct the signal

Object Phase from Bispectrum Object Bispectrum Phase Object phase Recursion Formulae

“The Code” 1. Get the Short exposure frames 2. Do frame by frame fourier transform 3. Get Object Magnitude by Speckle Interferometry 4. Do frame by frame fourier transform 5. Compute average Bispectrum 6. Use Recursion Formulae to retrieve phase 7. Averaging phasor over many iterations 8. Combining Phase and Amplitude to get signal back

Specs and Issues • Written in IDL(Interactive Data Language) • Bispectrum for a 2D signal is 4D • Memmory issues • Currently Code can process 200x200 pixel data • Code is computationaly very expensive • 8hrs for processing 500 frames of 200x200 in Core 2 duo ,4 GB system Computationally efficient Radon Transform versions gave poor reconstruction
