Angular high-speed massively parallel detection spectral-domain optical coherence tomography for speckle reduction.
We demonstrate speckle reduction based on angular compounding using parallel-detection spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). An ultrahigh-speed two-dimensional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor camera acquired angular and spectral interference fringes (128 × 1024 pixels) simultaneously at 15,000 frames/s for a single lateral point. A signal-to-noise ratio improvement of 8 dB...
متن کاملSpeckle Noise Reduction for the Enhancement of Retinal Layers in Optical Coherence Tomography Images
Introduction One of the most important pre-processing steps in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is reducing speckle noise, resulting from multiple scattering of tissues, which degrades the quality of OCT images. Materials and Methods The present study focused on speckle noise reduction and edge detection techniques. Statistical filters with different masks and noise variances were applied on ...
متن کاملSpeckle Noise Reduction and Segmentation on Polarization Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography Images
The retinal layers of a monkey were imaged using a Polarization Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS-OCT) system in an effort to develop a clinically reliable automatic diagnostic system for glaucoma. Glaucoma is characterized by the progressive loss of ganglion cells and axons in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). Automatic segmentation of the RNFL from the PS-OCT images is a fundamen...
متن کاملEfficient reduction of speckle noise in Optical Coherence Tomography.
Speckle pattern, which is inherent in coherence imaging, influences significantly axial and transversal resolution of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) instruments. The well known speckle removal techniques are either sensitive to sample motion, require sophisticated and expensive sample tracking systems, or involve sophisticated numerical procedures. As a result, their applicability to in viv...
متن کاملSpeckle noise reduction in optical coherence tomography of paint layers.
We present and characterize a sequential angular compounding method for reducing speckle contrast in optical coherence tomography images of paint layers. The results are compared with postprocessing methods, and we show that the compounding technique can improve the speckle contrast ratio in B-scans by better than a factor of 2 in exchange for a negligible loss of resolution. As a result, image...
