Furthermore, tilted illumination with vertical detection typically involves tilted plane correction methods for pre-correcting diffraction patterns or by developing more refined models, which can degrade reconstruction accuracy and increase computational overhead. This study derives a forward propagation model for reflective off-axis diffraction, where the beam maintains the same angle relative to both the sample plane and the recording plane, thereby eliminating the need for a pre-correction process. Based on our propagation model, we developed a regularized ptychography iterative engine combined with a total variation denoising algorithm, effectively suppressing sensor noise and potential experimental inaccuracies.

By maximizing mutual information through contrastive loss, TSCM ensures semantic consistency in topology and preserves structural information.

In the implementation of this strategy, SIFT algorithm is utilized to match reference image and target images to obtain the reliable subsets. The reliable subset is a square region selected around matched feature points on reference image, which can avoid the discontinuous deformation regions. Then the reliable subset is correlated to obtain the exact deformation using the Gaussian weighted correlation function. Finally, the deformation parameters of a point of interest (POI) can be obtained by fitting the displacement of reliable subset centers for a fitting region around POI. In cases where discontinuities exist in the fitting region, the direct fitting method may yield substantial errors for obtaining POI deformation parameters. To ensure the accuracy of displacement measurements, the reliable subsets centers in the fitting region are classified into two categories along the crack face, and the most appropriate category is selected for the fitting process.

In FRET imaging, image quality is crucial for the success of the FRET experiment. However, distortion, an inevitable problem for any microscopic imaging system equipped with an optical lens, often compromises image quality. The most important distortion type is radial distortion.

To this end, we propose a consistent light field measurement method in which the camera is pre-calibrated to establish an accurate transformation relationship between image and object spaces.
