Motion-resolved imaging of moving objects embedded within scattering media by the use of time-gated speckle analysis.

Spectral analysis of a time-evolving speckle pattern is used to provide motion-resolved detection of moving objects embedded within scattering media. Results show that the ability to detect small nonstationary scattering objects and to discriminate between objects moving at different rates is greatly enhanced.
