Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a principled algorithmic approach for Fourier ptychographic imaging of dynamic, time-varying targets. To the best of our knowledge, this setting has not been explicitly addressed in the ptychography literature. We argue that such a setting is very natural, and that our methods provide an important first step towards helping reduce the sample complexity (and hence acquisition time) of imaging dynamic scenes to managaeble levels. With significantly reduced acquisition times per image, it is conceivable that dynamic ptychographic imaging of fast changing scenes indeeed becomes practical in the near future.
