Abstract
A method includes forming an image of a scene on a sensor through a coded aperture, wherein the coded aperture and sensor are optically coupled within an imaging platform to form a superpositioned, physically encoded image of the scene on the sensor. The method includes generating raw image data from the sensor representative of the superpositioned, physically encoded image of the scene, and transmitting the raw image data to a platform remote from the imaging platform so the raw data is encrypted during transmission. The method can include using the platform remote from the imaging platform to deconvolve the superpositioned, physically encoded image into a decoded image.

A method comprising:
- forming an image of a scene on a sensor through a coded aperture, wherein the coded aperture and the sensor are optically coupled within an imaging platform to form a superpositioned, physically encoded image of the scene on the sensor;
- generating raw image data from the sensor representative of the superpositioned, physically encoded image of the scene;
- and
- transmitting the raw image data to a remote platform located remote from the imaging platform.
A system comprising:
- an imaging platform comprising
- a coded aperture;
- and
- a sensor optically coupled to the coded aperture, the imaging platform being configured to form a superpositioned, physically encoded image of a scene on the sensor, the imaging platform including machine readable instructions configured to cause the imaging platform to:
- generate raw image data from the sensor representative of the superpositioned, physically encoded image of the scene;
- and
- transmit the raw image data to a remote platform located remote from the imaging platform.
