Convolutional neural network for resolution enhancement and noise reduction in acoustic resolution photoacoustic microscopy

Optical-Resolution Photoacoustic Microscopy

Accelerating the Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network

As a successful deep model applied in image super-resolution (SR), the Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network (SRCNN) [1, 2] has demonstrated superior performance to the previous hand-crafted models either in speed and restoration quality. However, the high computational cost still hinders it from practical usage that demands real-time performance (24 fps). In this paper, we aim at accel...

Multi-temporal Resolution Convolutional Neural Networks for Acoustic Scene Classification

In this paper we present a Deep Neural Network architecture for the task of acoustic scene classification which harnesses information from increasing temporal resolutions of Mel-Spectrogram segments. This architecture is composed of separated parallel Convolutional Neural Networks which learn spectral and temporal representations for each input resolution. The resolutions are chosen to cover fi...

Performance Characterization of a Switchable Acoustic Resolution and Optical Resolution Photoacoustic Microscopy System

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is a scalable bioimaging modality; one can choose low acoustic resolution with deep penetration depth or high optical resolution with shallow imaging depth. High spatial resolution and deep penetration depth is rather difficult to achieve using a single system. Here we report a switchable acoustic resolution and optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (AR-OR-P...

Multifocal optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy in vivo.

Although ultrasound arrays have been exploited in photoacoustic imaging to improve imaging speed, ultrasound-array-based optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) has never been achieved previously to our knowledge. Here we present our development of multifocal OR-PAM using a microlens array for optical illumination and an ultrasound array for photoacoustic detection. Our system is c...
