3D Visualization of Objects under scattering media conditions using Integral Imaging
In this paper, we propose a new three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique in scattering media using integral imaging. In conventional integral imaging, it can visualize 3D images well when high-resolution elemental images are used. However, when low-resolution images are used, the visual quality of the 3D images is reduced. In addition, it is difficult to recognize the objects under scattering media conditions. Therefore, to visualize 3D images in scattering media, we create a mask filter in frequency domain to remove the scattering media. In addition, we calculate the density of the scattered media to adjust the contrast and histogram equalization automatically. To prove our method, we implemented optical experiments.The 10th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC 2019), 16-18 October 2019, Jeju Island, Kore
Automated Fourier space region-recognition filtering for off-axis digital holographic microscopy
Automated label-free quantitative imaging of biological samples can greatly
benefit high throughput diseases diagnosis. Digital holographic microscopy
(DHM) is a powerful quantitative label-free imaging tool that retrieves
structural details of cellular samples non-invasively. In off-axis DHM, a
proper spatial filtering window in Fourier space is crucial to the quality of
reconstructed phase image. Here we describe a region-recognition approach that
combines shape recognition with an iterative thresholding to extracts the
optimal shape of frequency components. The region recognition technique offers
fully automated adaptive filtering that can operate with a variety of samples
and imaging conditions. When imaging through optically scattering biological
hydrogel matrix, the technique surpasses previous histogram thresholding
techniques without requiring any manual intervention. Finally, we automate the
extraction of the statistical difference of optical height between malaria
parasite infected and uninfected red blood cells. The method described here
pave way to greater autonomy in automated DHM imaging for imaging live cell in
thick cell cultures
Application of the inhomogeneous Lippmann-Schwinger equation to inverse scattering problems
In this paper we present a hybrid approach to numerically solve
two-dimensional electromagnetic inverse scattering problems, whereby the
unknown scatterer is hosted by a possibly inhomogeneous background. The
approach is `hybrid' in that it merges a qualitative and a quantitative method
to optimize the way of exploiting the a priori information on the background
within the inversion procedure, thus improving the quality of the
reconstruction and reducing the data amount necessary for a satisfactory
result. In the qualitative step, this a priori knowledge is utilized to
implement the linear sampling method in its near-field formulation for an
inhomogeneous background, in order to identify the region where the scatterer
is located. On the other hand, the same a priori information is also encoded in
the quantitative step by extending and applying the contrast source inversion
method to what we call the `inhomogeneous Lippmann-Schwinger equation': the
latter is a generalization of the classical Lippmann-Schwinger equation to the
case of an inhomogeneous background, and in our paper is deduced from the
differential formulation of the direct scattering problem to provide the
reconstruction algorithm with an appropriate theoretical basis. Then, the point
values of the refractive index are computed only in the region identified by
the linear sampling method at the previous step. The effectiveness of this
hybrid approach is supported by numerical simulations presented at the end of
the paper.Comment: accepted in SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematic
