Abstract
Using a non-coherent optical bundle having a plurality of fibers for image transmission. The fibers of the non-coherent optical bundle may be calibrated to generate a mapping function. Image data at a sending end of the non-coherent optical bundle may be obtained and transmitted over the non-coherent optical bundle, the image data being scrambled during transmission to produce scrambled image data at a receiving end of the non-coherent optical bundle. The mapping function may be applied to the scrambled image data to reproduce the image data for use in an imaging system.
