Fig. 2. Experimental demonstration of object identification ability. (a) Schematic diagram of the experimental optical path for object identification. L: lens; GLP: Glan laser polarizer; MS: the optical computing metasurface; CCD: charge-coupled device. Two lenses with focal lengths of 175 mm form a 4f system. He-Ne laser beam with wavelength λ = 632.8 nm is chosen as the experimental laser source. (b) The theory intensity distribution in planes 1 and 2, respectively. (c–d) Theoretical object identification results of high- and low-contrast objects. respectively. The first, second, and third rows represent the theoretical original, x-direction contours, and y-direction contours of those two types of objects, respectively. (e–f) Part of experimental identification results of high- and low-contrast objects, respectively. The first, second, and third rows represent the experimental the ordinary images, as well as the contour surfaces along the x axis and y axis of two types of objects, respectively.

Fig. 4. Experimental scheme of 3D reconstruction about the high-contrast object with complex surface. (a) The 3D reconstruction scheme relies on discretizing the target object into 2D slices with small gaps between them. (b) Contour information contained in every slice of an observed object would be captured. (c) The 3D model is reconstructed by recombining the different projection results captured in (b).
