contents Imaging through dynamic scattering media, such as biological tissue, presents a fundamental challenge due to light scattering and the formation of speckle patterns. These patterns not only degrade image quality but also decorrelate rapidly, limiting the effectiveness of conventional approaches, such as those based on transmission matrix measurements. Here, we introduce an imaging approach based on second-order correlations and synthetic wavelength holography (SWH) to enable robust image reconstruction through thick and dynamic scattering media. By exploiting intensity speckle correlations and using short-exposure intensity images, our method computationally reconstructs images from a hologram without requiring phase stability or static speckles, making it inherently resilient to phase noise. Experimental results demonstrate high-resolution imaging in both static and dynamic scattering scenarios, offering a promising solution for biomedical imaging, remote sensing, and real-time imaging in complex environments.
