*A Hardware and Software Toolkit for Lensless Computational Imaging with a Raspberry Pi*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This toolkit has everything you need to perform imaging with a lensless
camera. We make use of a low-cost implementation of DiffuserCam [1]_,
where we use a piece of tape instead of the lens and the
`Raspberry Pi HQ camera sensor <https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-high-quality-camera>`__
(the `V2 sensor <https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/camera-module-v2/>`__
is also supported). Similar principles and methods can be used for a
different lensless encoder and a different sensor.

*If you are interested in exploring reconstruction algorithms without building the camera, that is entirely possible!*
The provided reconstruction algorithms can be used with the provided data or simulated data.

We've also written a few Medium articles to guide users through the process
of building the camera, measuring data with it, and reconstruction.
They are all laid out in `this post <https://medium.com/@bezzam/a-complete-lensless-imaging-tutorial-hardware-software-and-algorithms-8873fa81a660>`__.
Our work is mainly done in the trainable_mask.py and mask.py files.

Setup
-----

If you are just interested in using the reconstruction algorithms and
plotting / evaluation tools you can install the package via ``pip``:
First, install the lensless package

.. code:: bash
pip install lensless
For plotting, you may also need to install
`Tk <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5459444/tkinter-python-may-not-be-configured-for-tk>`__.


For performing measurements, the expected workflow is to have a local
computer which interfaces remotely with a Raspberry Pi equipped with
the HQ camera sensor (or V2 sensor). Instructions on building the camera
can be found `here <https://lensless.readthedocs.io/en/latest/building.html>`__.

The software from this repository has to be installed on **both** your
local machine and the Raspberry Pi. Note that we highly recommend using
Python 3.9, as some Python library versions may not be available with
earlier versions of Python. Moreover, its `end-of-life <https://endoflife.date/python>`__
is Oct 2025.

Note (25-04-2023): for using the :py:class:`~lensless.recon.apgd.APGD` reconstruction method based on Pycsou
(now `Pyxu <https://github.com/matthieumeo/pyxu>`__), a specific commit has
to be installed (as there was no release at the time of implementation):

.. code:: bash
pip install git+https://github.com/matthieumeo/pycsou.git@38e9929c29509d350a7ff12c514e2880fdc99d6e
If PyTorch is installed, you will need to be sure to have PyTorch 2.0 or higher,
as Pycsou is not compatible with earlier versions of PyTorch. Moreover,
Pycsou requires Python within
`[3.9, 3.11) <https://github.com/matthieumeo/pycsou/blob/v2-dev/setup.cfg#L28>`__.

Moreover, ``numba`` (requirement for Pycsou V2) may require an older version of NumPy:

.. code:: bash
pip install numpy==1.23.5
*Raspberry Pi setup*
====================

After `flashing your Raspberry Pi with SSH enabled <https://medium.com/@bezzam/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-without-a-monitor-headless-9a3c2337f329>`__,
you need to set it up for `passwordless access <https://medium.com/@bezzam/headless-and-passwordless-interfacing-with-a-raspberry-pi-ssh-453dd75154c3>`__.
Do not set a password for your SSH key pair, as this will not work with the
provided scripts.

On the Raspberry Pi, you can then run the following commands (from the ``home``
directory):

.. code:: bash
# dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y libimage-exiftool-perl libatlas-base-dev \
python3-numpy python3-scipy python3-opencv
sudo pip3 install -U virtualenv
# download from GitHub
git clone [email protected]:LCAV/LenslessPiCam.git
# install in virtual environment
cd LenslessPiCam
virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3 lensless_env
source lensless_env/bin/activate
pip install --no-deps -e .
pip install -r rpi_requirements.txt
Acknowledgements
----------------

The idea of building a lensless camera from a Raspberry Pi and a piece of
tape comes from Prof. Laura Waller's group at UC Berkeley. So a huge kudos
to them for the idea and making tools/code/data available! Below is some of
the work that has inspired this toolkit:

* `Build your own DiffuserCam tutorial <https://waller-lab.github.io/DiffuserCam/tutorial>`__.
* `DiffuserCam Lensless MIR Flickr dataset <https://waller-lab.github.io/LenslessLearning/dataset.html>`__ [2]_.

A few students at EPFL have also contributed to this project:

* Julien Sahli: support and extension of algorithms for 3D.
* Yohann Perron: unrolled algorithms for reconstruction.
