In vivo laser Doppler holography of the human retina
The eye offers a unique opportunity for non-invasive exploration of
cardiovascular diseases. Optical angiography in the retina requires sensitive
measurements, which hinders conventional full-field laser Doppler imaging
schemes. To overcome this limitation, we used digital holography to perform
laser Doppler perfusion imaging of the human retina in vivo with near-infrared
light. Wideband measurements of the beat frequency spectrum of optical
interferograms recorded with a 39 kHz CMOS camera are analyzed by short-time
Fourier transformation. Power Doppler images and movies drawn from the zeroth
moment of the power spectrum density reveal blood flows in retinal and
choroidal vessels over 512 512 pixels covering 2.4 2.4 mm
on the retina with a 13 ms temporal resolution.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Noise in laser speckle correlation and imaging techniques
We study the noise of the intensity variance and of the intensity correlation
and structure functions measured in light scattering from a random medium in
the case when these quantities are obtained by averaging over a finite number N
of pixels of a digital camera. We show that the noise scales as 1/N in all
cases and that it is sensitive to correlations of signals corresponding to
adjacent pixels as well as to the effective time averaging (due to the finite
sampling time) and spatial averaging (due to the finite pixel size). Our
results provide a guide to estimation of noise level in such applications as
the multi-speckle dynamic light scattering, time-resolved correlation
spectroscopy, speckle visibility spectroscopy, laser speckle imaging etc.Comment: submitted 14 May 201
Light Field Blind Motion Deblurring
We study the problem of deblurring light fields of general 3D scenes captured
under 3D camera motion and present both theoretical and practical
contributions. By analyzing the motion-blurred light field in the primal and
Fourier domains, we develop intuition into the effects of camera motion on the
light field, show the advantages of capturing a 4D light field instead of a
conventional 2D image for motion deblurring, and derive simple methods of
motion deblurring in certain cases. We then present an algorithm to blindly
deblur light fields of general scenes without any estimation of scene geometry,
and demonstrate that we can recover both the sharp light field and the 3D
camera motion path of real and synthetically-blurred light fields.Comment: To be presented at CVPR 201
