Video-level and high-fidelity super-resolution SIM reconstruction enabled by deep learning
Hanchu Ye, Zitong Ye, Yunbo Chen, Jinfeng Zhang, Xu Liu, Cuifang Kuang, Youhua Chen, and Wenjie Liu
Structure illumination microscopy (SIM) imposes no special requirements on the fluorescent dyes used for sample labeling, yielding resolution exceeding twice the optical diffraction limit with low phototoxicity, which is therefore very favorable for dynamic observation of live samples. However, the traditional SIM algoStructure illumination microscopy (SIM) imposes no special requirements on the fluorescent dyes used for sample labeling, yielding resolution exceeding twice the optical diffraction limit with low phototoxicity, which is therefore very favorable for dynamic observation of live samples. However, the traditional SIM algorithm is prone to artifacts due to the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirement, and existing deep-learning SIM algorithms still have the potential to improve imaging speed. Here, we introduce a deep-learning-based video-level and high-fidelity super-resolution SIM reconstruction method, termed video-level deep-learning SIM (VDL-SIM), which has an imaging speed of up to 47 frame/s, providing a favorable observing experience for users. In addition, VDL-SIM can robustly reconstruct sample details under a low-light dose, which greatly reduces the damage to the sample during imaging. Compared with existing SIM algorithms, VDL-SIM has faster imaging speed than existing deep-learning algorithms, and higher imaging fidelity at low SNR, which is more obvious for traditional algorithms. These characteristics enable VDL-SIM to be a useful video-level super-resolution imaging alternative to conventional methods in challenging imaging conditions..

Feature-enhanced fiber bundle imaging based on light field acquisition
Haogong Feng, Runze Zhu, and Fei Xu
Optical fiber bundles frequently serve as crucial components in flexible miniature endoscopes, transmitting end-to-end images directly for medical and industrial applications. Each core usually acts as a single pixel, and the resolution of the image is limited by the core size and core spacing. We propose a method thatOptical fiber bundles frequently serve as crucial components in flexible miniature endoscopes, transmitting end-to-end images directly for medical and industrial applications. Each core usually acts as a single pixel, and the resolution of the image is limited by the core size and core spacing. We propose a method that exploits the hidden information embedded in the pattern within each core to break the limitation and obtain high-dimensional light field information and more features of the original image including edges, texture, and color. Intra-core patterns are mainly related to the spatial angle of captured light rays and the shape of the core. A convolutional neural network is used to accelerate the extraction of in-core features containing the light field information of the whole scene, achieve the transformation of in-core features to real details, and enhance invisible texture features and image colorization of fiber bundle images..

High-resolution 3D imaging through dense camouflage nets using single-photon LiDAR
Peng-Yu Jiang, Zheng-Ping Li, Wen-Long Ye, Ziheng Qiu, Da-Jian Cui, and Feihu Xu
The single-photon sensitivity and picosecond time resolution of single-photon light detection and ranging (LiDAR) can provide a full-waveform profile for retrieving the three-dimentional (3D) profile of the target separated from foreground clutter. This capability has made single-photon LiDAR a solution for imaging thrThe single-photon sensitivity and picosecond time resolution of single-photon light detection and ranging (LiDAR) can provide a full-waveform profile for retrieving the three-dimentional (3D) profile of the target separated from foreground clutter. This capability has made single-photon LiDAR a solution for imaging through obscurant, camouflage nets, and semitransparent materials. However, the obstructive presence of the clutter and limited pixel numbers of single-photon detector arrays still pose challenges in achieving high-quality imaging. Here, we demonstrate a single-photon array LiDAR system combined with tailored computational algorithms for high-resolution 3D imaging through camouflage nets. For static targets, we develop a 3D sub-voxel scanning approach along with a photon-efficient deconvolution algorithm. Using this approach, we demonstrate 3D imaging through camouflage nets with a
