Traditional speckle fringe patterns by electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) are inherently noisy and of limited visibility, so denoising is the key problem in ESPI. We present the variational denoising method for ESPI. This method transfo
Traditional speckle fringe patterns of electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) are obtained by adding, subtracting, or multiplying the speckle patterns recorded before and after the deformation. However, these speckle fringe patterns are of
We present a miniature fluorescence sectioning microscope which uses a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser as the light source and a fast translating diffuser to produce dynamically changing speckle patterns onto the back aperture of the objective
The principle of optical eigenfunction is used in the analysis of speckle reduction in laser projection display. When the moving diffuser is used in the speckle reduction approach, the speckle contrast is decided by both the degree of freedom (DOF) o
The influence of the sparsity of random speckle illumination on traditional ghost imaging (GI) and GI via sparsity constraint (GISC) in a noise environment is investigated. The experiments demonstrate that both GI and GISC obtain their best imaging q
Digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) is a high-precision deformation measurement technique for planar objects. However, for curved objects, the three-dimensional (3D) shape information is needed in order to obtain correct deformation measure
Using the laser speckle contrast imaging and wavelet-based analyses, we investigate a latent (a “hidden") stage of the development of intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) in newborn rats. We apply two measures based on the continuous wavelet-transform of
Accepted 15 November 2013 Published 2 January 2014 While the laser speckle imaging (LSI) is a powerful tool for multiple biomedical applications, such as monitoring of the blood flow, in many cases it can provide additional information when combined
In most coherent imaging modality, speckle noise is a major cause that blurs the boundary of tissues and degrades the image contrast. By utilizing the unique properties of supercontinuum (SC) generated by noise-like pulses (NLPs) and a simple multi-f
The effect of optical cleaning method combined with laser speckle imaging (LSI) was discussed to improve the detection depth of LSI due to high scattering characteristics of skin, which limit its clinical application. A double-layer skin tissue model
An improved polarization recording approach to reduce speckle noise in digital holography is proposed. Multiple off-axis holograms are obtained by rotating the linear polarization state of both illumination and reference wave simultaneously. By avera
