The descattering method is applied to three-dimensional (3D) integral imaging (InIm). The 3D InIm pick-up process captures multiple two-dimensional images of a scene each having a different perspective of the scene, known as elemental images (EIs), and combines this information to generate a 3D reconstruction of the scene. A scattering mitigation process is applied to each EI prior to 3D reconstruction to reduce the effect of scattering. In the scattering mitigation process, we assume that the intensity of the scattering medium containing object information is a Gaussian distribution and the distribution of the scattering medium is known a priori and also follows a Gaussian distribution for the whole captured image. By computing maximum a posteriori estimates of the mean and variance of the turbid media containing object information, a Bayesian scattering mitigation process is implemented. After the scattering mitigation process, the 3D reconstruction image is calculated computationally using back propagation method. We compare the reconstructed image quality of an existing method and our proposed method using structural similarity index (SSIM), and show our proposed method achieve higher SSIM.","PeriodicalId":430979,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th Workshop on Information Optics (WIO)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117283286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This light-field optics does not deal with an “image” on a plane but conditions of rays in 3D space, instead. As conditions of rays in 3D space represent real 3D scene or 3D objects, 3D object is expressed on 2D plane as encoded data in light-field optics and these recorded data can be decoded back to 3D images reversibly. These exchangeable processes are represented by the relation of light-field camera and light-field display; a 3D image is recorded on 2D plane by a light-field camera, as it is, and is reconstructed from the recorded data by a light-field display. Recorded data on 2D plane by a light-field camera is not a formed image but encoded data. Therefore in light-field optics an optical system is free from limit of optical conjugate. Display plane can be put on any place, for example. Small flat displays can be set on the plane of spectacles instead of lenses and you can see an image through the optical system. It is a thin HMD. An e-book free from reading glasses might be realized in the same way. There are many applications of light-field optics as well as 3D recording and displaying system.

QPS depends on both the thickness and the intracellular refractive index of the observed cells and brings thus information about both cell morphology and cell contents. Thanks to the development of different experimental procedures, relevant biophysical cell parameters can be successfully calculated from QPS, including cell shape, absolute volume, intracellular protein concentration, organelle distribution, nanoscale membrane fluctuations, membrane mechanical properties and water permeability, as well as transmembrane water movements. Simultaneous dynamic imaging of transmembrane water movements and cell volume is likely to assess the cell capacity to maintain or not homeostasis and consequently to identify early biomarkers of cell viability and cytotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":430979,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th Workshop on Information Optics (WIO)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132736040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This analysis can be largely enhanced by using a modeling of the observed media, based on a reduced set of interpretable parameters. Besides, a common feature to many materials as diverse as concrete, rocks, bones, nanomaterials or heterogeneous catalysts is a multi-scale morphology with the meaning that specific morphological features exist at various length scales. Access to these different length scales’ information is essential in order to understand and modelize these materials. This is a central point in the optimization of the usage properties of these materials such as mechanical strength or mass transport, which need a preliminary characterization of their morphology with the help of an adequate model. We propose here a modelization based on the so-called multi-scale Boolean models, models which have been successfully related to some usage properties, of primary importance for the design of new microstructures. These models are based on a reduced set of parameters related to interpretable material manufacturing settings. We illustrate the use of these models for the following tasks: representation of real multi-scale material like alumina catalyst supports, estimation of critical percolation threshold and assessment of tortuosity and accessibility. In addition, their efficient computing and visualization are addressed using ”plug im!”, a signal and image processing modular open access software.","PeriodicalId":430979,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th Workshop on Information Optics (WIO)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127734088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diamond turning based on a nano Fast Tool Servo offers short fabrication times and low costs for small quantities. The main properties of diamond turned metal DOEs for the holographic projection are their small pixel size down to 1 μm in feed direction, high reflectivity and mechanical and thermal stability. Currently, existing methods are limited to the projection of intensity distributions in only one plane. However, more than one projection plane is highly desirable for applications as automotive lighting, laser material processing and security features. In this contribution, we introduce an approach for the optical design of diamond turned holograms (DTH) for the holographic projection of arbitrary intensity distributions in multiple reconstruction planes in the Fresnel domain. The design problem is related to the spiral path of the diamond cutting tool and to find a set of N wavefields which generate intensity distributions in different distances dn. For calculating the cutting depth profile of the DTH a combination of the Gerchberg-Saxton-Algorithm with an iterative phase retrieval algorithm is applied. The use of Fresnel propagation in the algorithm allows the generation of intensity distributions in large projection areas with low computational effort. We present the theory as well as the experimental verification of this new approach.","PeriodicalId":430979,"journal":{"name":"2018 17th Workshop on Information Optics (WIO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129122082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This blocking induces a periodic color change, i.e., color moirés in the image viewed through the VZFO.

Third generation image intensifiers with high Quantum Efficiency (QE) photocathodes (of the order of 30%) are used with CCDs in intensified photon counting systems. But, the efficiency of this kind of camera is limited by the capability of the tube to transform an incoming photon into an electron and amplifying it so that the output signal is largely over the CCD Read-out Noise (RON). Improvements in CCD QE, which now reaches 90% at some wavelengths, and RON, as low as $3overline{mathrm{e}}$, have no effect on the total counting efficiency of these cameras. RON of $3overline{mathrm{e}}$ is still too high for an application such as photon counting for extreme faint fluxes. It is now possible to amplify the pixel signal into the CCD before it reaches the output amplifier and before it is affected by its noise. These Electron Multiplying CCD make it is possible to get sub-electron effective RON, low enough for PC.
