light is never being distributed homogeneously and it forms a gradient over biomass. the unidirectional nature of light gives rise to a vertical gradient of light intensity as a function of depth. the maximum depth of the light zone suitable for phytoplankton photosynthesis is designated as the euphotic depth. this study was designed to test the hypothesis of mixing depth of phytoplankton and i...

The distortion of polar perspective depends on the depth of the tridimensional shape and on the observation distance. In four experiments using 54 undergraduates as subjects, we found that a compensation process which takes depth and observation distance into account corrects for such distortions. Compensation was demonstrated in experiments in which deceptive information on depth and on observ...

Accurate depth localization and quantitative recovery of a regional activation are the major challenges in functional diffuse optical tomography (DOT). The photon density drops severely with increased depth, for which conventional DOT reconstruction yields poor depth localization and quantitative recovery. Recently we have developed a depth compensation algorithm (DCA) to improve the depth loca...

PURPOSE We improved the visibility of the lamina cribrosa (LC), including its posterior boundary, in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the human optic nerve head (ONH). METHODS An adaptive compensation algorithm was developed to overcome a limitation of our standard compensation algorithm, that is the overamplification of noise at high depth. Such limitation currently hampers our a...
