This algorithm reduces data storage requirements while preserving all the details of the images. AR-DCT ensures real-time compression, achieving superior compression ratios (CRs) compared to traditional DCT compression. We evaluated the performance of AR-DCT using in vivo mouse brain imaging data, demonstrating a CR of ~50, with a structural similarity index of 0.980 and minimal degradation in signal quality (percentage-root-mean-square-difference of 1.345%). The results show that AR-DCT outperforms traditional DCT, offering higher compression efficiency without significantly sacrificing image quality.

The study demonstrates that lensless image sequences processed by the Wiener deconvolution method can effectively retain the original fluorescence intermittency information, allowing for high-resolution reconstruction using FF-SRM algorithms.
