Abstract
Ghost imaging (GI) is an innovative technique that utilizes correlated light intensities to reconstruct images without the requirement of direct spatial resolution measurements. It offers several advantages in various applications, such as improved image resolution, robustness against noise and scattering, less computational cost, and an effective solution for low-light imaging. GI enables surveillance and target detection in remote sensing with its recent developments. With the evolving technique of GI with machine and deep learning (ML/DL), GI with LiDAR and advanced reconstruction algorithms in computational ghost imaging (CGI), GI can be applied in various domains of remote sensing. Ghost imaging in remote sensing (GIRS), is potential solution for atmospheric monitoring, target detection and classification, surveillance and underwater imaging. In this comprehensive analysis, we studied the recent advancements in GI and its modalities in remote sensing with new developments in optical components used in GIRS. However, with the challenges available in scaling the technologies for long-range sensing and real-time processing capabilities, we provide comprehensive solutions in limitations and future directions with advantages in GIRS.
