The 3-D Tikhonov regularization method addresses the ill-posedness by penalizing unrealistic variations in the soot volume fraction, thus enhancing the robustness of the reconstruction. Additionally, volumetric masking derived from light field ray-tracing refines the reconstruction by accurately defining the flame's boundaries and improving the soot volume fraction inversion accuracy.

Indeed, a shorter object-sensor distance reduces the spreading of fluorescent signals but at the cost of losing excitation light attenuation provided by filter thickness. Accordingly, the combination of four synergistic pathways to attain further attenuation of excitation light is proposed: the optimization of total internal reflection by microfluidic chip geometry modification, cross-polarization extinction, interchangeable absorption longpass filters, and the CMOS sensor built-in bandpass Bayer filters. The advantages of such a combined setup are demonstrated with a microfluidic application, as we managed to keep the object-sensor distance as short as 600 µm and still distinguish the fluorescence of individual droplets, flowing as close as 650 µm to each other, while attenuating excitation light to an OD 5.9 level. This approach also allowed simultaneous fluorescence and bright-field observation of on-chip droplet fluorescence during flow at a rate of 30 fps.

A mean absolute deviation metric is then employed to systematically screen the classified images, allowing for the selection of a subset that exhibits accurate phase shifts. Finally, the screened and combined interferometric images are evaluated for phase shift centralization through the calculation of the coefficient of variation, ensuring that the screened images conform to the expected criteria. The experimental results indicate that the average coefficient of variation of the screened interferometric images obtained using the proposed method is significantly reduced by 0.1236, 0.0968, and 0.1042 when compared to the nine sets of directly acquired interferometric images subjected to high-frequency vibration, high-amplitude vibration, and transverse distortion vibration, respectively.
