The moving target imaging in the field of ghost imaging is researched. In order to overcome the imaging degradation caused by relative motion between imaging system and target, a method of translation compensation of light intensity distribution recorded by the reference detector is proposed so that the resolution of ghost imaging for moving target can be improved. Both theoretical and experimental results suggest that ghost imaging technique can obtain high-resolution imaging of moving target by the proposed method of translation compensation. According to the application of remote sensing, the influence of detection noise to ghost imaging for moving target is discussed based on intensity correlation linear reconstruction and nonlinear sparsity constraints reconstruction algorithms, respectively. The advantages and disadvantages of both the proposed technique and existing motion-deblurring techniques are also discussed.
