Abstract
Edge detection is critical for emerging image processing technologies. Here, we present a dual-channel optical differential system that faithfully retrieves full edges of two-dimensional (2D) images. The system, leveraging the modified Wollaston prism, is compatible with hyperspectral imaging (HSI), enabling real-time phase imaging across 450-750 nm with 30 spectral channels. Experimental results demonstrate that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the image is improved over 6 dB with the proposed system. Meanwhile, it indicates that edge imaging can achieve higher contrast on biological samples. This work demonstrates the system’s potential for wide applications like target recognition and image enhancement, laying the foundation for hyperspectral phase edge microscopy.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
