description Ghost imaging is a technique that uses the correlation between reference and signal arms to obtain intensity images of targets. Compared with the existing laser active imaging methods, ghost imaging can improve the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution. In this paper, through the use of the slice difference method, we propose a new scheme that allows a velocity image of moving targets to be obtained. We conduct a complete theoretical analysis and provide a proof-of-principle experiment. The experimental results are in good agreement with those of the theoretical analysis, and a velocity image with 64 × 64 resolution is obtained. This protocol achieves a great increase in the signal-to-noise ratio over what would be achievable using direct imaging. The results show a fully functional instance of velocity imaging, which is a key advancement on the path towards the multi-dimensional information acquisition of moving targets. Our scheme fulfils an urgent need for the detection of moving targets and may thus find use in fields such as target attitude perception and security monitoring.
