A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for compressive imaging of a scene in a single pixel camera are disclosed. For example, the method moves a pseudo-random pattern media behind an aperture until a pseudo-random sampling function of a plurality of pseudo-random sampling functions is viewable through the aperture, records a value of an intensity of a modulated light from the scene with a detector, wherein the intensity of the modulated light is representative of an inner product between the pseudo-random sampling function and an image of the scene and repeats the moving and the recording until a necessary number of a plurality of inner products are processed.
