On blind deconvolution for thin layered confocal imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we have proposed an Alternate Minimization (AM) algorithm for estimating the Point-Spread Function (PSF) of a Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) and the specimen fluorescence distribution. A 3-D separable Gaussian model is used to restrict the PSF solution space and a constraint on the specimen is used so as to favor the stabilization and convergence of the algorithm. The results obtained from the simulation show that the PSF can be estimated to a high degree of accuracy, and those on real data show better deconvolution as compared to a full theoretical PSF model.

متن کاملImproving the repeatability of topographic height measurements in confocal scanning laser imaging using maximum-likelihood deconvolution.
PURPOSE To evaluate maximum likelihood (ML) blind deconvolution as a technique for improving the repeatability of topographic height measurements obtained from scanning laser tomography (Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph [HRT]; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany). METHODS ML blind deconvolution is an image-processing technique that estimates the original scene from a degraded image. This ...
متن کاملRestoration methods for biomedical images in confocal microscopy
This thesis introduces new solutions to the problem of image restoration in biomedical fields. The confocal microscope is a relatively new imaging technique that is emerging as a standard tool in biomedical studies. This technique is capable of collecting a series of 2D images of single sections inside a specimen to form a 3D image of the object. Moreover, the use of laser light increases the r...
متن کاملBlind Deconvolution in 3d Biological Microscopy
Confocal microscopy o ers several advantages over conventional optical microscopy with its small depth-ofeld, its reduction of out-of-focus blur, and its full three-dimensional (3D) image scanning ability. For biomedical applications, it can also acquire images of living cells, usually labeled with one or more uorescent probes. The confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) is an optical uoresce...
متن کاملPSO-Optimized Blind Image Deconvolution for Improved Detectability in Poor Visual Conditions
Abstract: Image restoration is a critical step in many vision applications. Due to the poor quality of Passive Millimeter Wave (PMMW) images, especially in marine and underwater environment, developing strong algorithms for the restoration of these images is of primary importance. In addition, little information about image degradation process, which is referred to as Point Spread Function (PSF...
