Abstract
An improved deep neural network incorporating attention mechanism and DSSIM loss function (AM_U_Net) is used to recover input images with speckles transmitted through a multimode fiber (MMF). The network is trained on a relatively small dataset and demonstrates an optimal reconstruction ability and generalization ability. Furthermore, a bimodal fusion method is developed based on S polarization and P polarization speckles, greatly improving the recognition accuracy. These findings prove that AM_U_Net has remarkable capabilities for information recovery and transfer learning and good tolerance and robustness under different MMF transmission conditions, indicating its significant application potential in medical imaging and secure communication.
