Therefore, we proposed an optimized dark channel and haze-line priors method based on adaptive sky segmentation to improve the quality of dehazed images including sky areas. The proposed algorithm segmented the sky region of a hazy image by using the Gaussian fitting curve and prior information of sky color rules to calculate the adaptive threshold. Then, an optimized dark channel prior method was used to obtain the light distribution image of the sky region, and the haze-line prior method was utilized to calculate the transmission of the foreground region. Finally, a minimization function was designed to optimize the transmission, and the dehazed images were restored with the atmospheric scattering model. Experimental results demonstrated that the presented dehazing framework could preserve more details of the sky area as well as restore the color constancy of the image with better visual effects. Compared with other algorithms, the results of the proposed algorithm could achieve higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) evaluation values and provide the restored image with subjective visual effects closer to the real scene.</p>","PeriodicalId":17382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Optical Society of America A-optics Image Science and Vision","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10598701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead, this method involves performing phase retrieval to the CT-reconstructed volume in 3D. The CTF formalism is further extended to the cases of partially coherent illumination and strongly absorbing samples. Simulated results demonstrate that the proposed post-reconstruction CTF method provides fast and stable phase retrieval, producing results equivalent to conventional pre-reconstruction 2D CTF phase retrieval. Moreover, it is shown that application can be highly localized to isolated objects of interest, without a significant loss of quality, thus leading to increased computational efficiency. Combined with the extended validity of the CTF to greater propagation distances, this method provides additional advantages over approaches based on the transport-of-intensity equation.</p>","PeriodicalId":17382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Optical Society of America A-optics Image Science and Vision","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10580901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spherical wave expansion of the scalar function allows us to simplify the formulation of the BSCs in the R-quadrature and the FS and to speed up the numerical BSC calculation.

Our approach uses a point spread function in the form of a multiple-point impulse response (MPIR). Unlike the traditional point-to-point imaging model used by most traditional optical imaging systems, the proposed MPIR model can collect information from within and outside the sensor boundary. The detected raw image despite being scrambled can be decoded via a sparse optimization algorithm to get extended FOV imaging performance. We provide a thorough analysis of MPIR design regarding the number of impulses and their spatial extent. Increasing the number of impulses in MPIR of a given spatial extent leads to better information gathering within the detector region; however, it also reduces contrast in the raw data. Therefore, a trade-off between increasing the information and keeping adequate contrast in the detected data is necessary to achieve high-quality reconstruction. We first illustrate this trade-off with a simulation study and present experimental results on a suitably designed extended FOV imaging system. We demonstrate reconstructed images with a 4× gain in pixels over the native detection area without loss of spatial resolution. The proposed system design considerations are generic and can be applied to various imaging systems for extended FOV performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":17382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Optical Society of America A-optics Image Science and Vision","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10232091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we showed that by properly tailoring the spatial distribution of the linear state of polarization transverse to the direction of propagation, the beam followed a curved trajectory in free space. Here we extend the model to the partially coherent and partially polarized polychromatic case by redefining the beam amplitude, phase, and polarization angle as appropriate statistical quantities. In particular, the definition of polarization angle represents a fundamentally new quantity in modeling beam propagation and is shown to be consistent with recent works on energy and momentum flow. In the new model, the beam curvature matches that of our previous work in the fully coherent case but is predicted to vanish for an unpolarized, spatially incoherent beam.
