The imaging modalities of correlation-assisted techniques utilize the inherent information present in the spatial correlation of random intensity patterns for the successful reconstruction of object information. However, most correlation approaches focus only on the reconstruction of amplitude information, as it is a direct byproduct of the correlation, disregarding the phase information. Complex-field reconstruction requires additional experimental or computational schemes, alongside conventional correlation geometry. The resurgence of holography in recent times, with advanced digital techniques and the adoption of the full-field imaging potential of holography in correlation with imaging techniques, has paved the way for the development of various state-of-the-art approaches to correlation optics. This review article provides an in-depth discussion of the recent developments in speckle-correlation-assisted techniques by focusing on various quantitative imaging scenarios. Furthermore, the recent progress and application of correlation-assisted holographic imaging techniques are reviewed, along with its potential challenges.
