Optical Imaging

Optical imaging research focuses on improving image acquisition and analysis across diverse applications, from medical diagnostics to remote sensing. Current efforts concentrate on enhancing image quality through techniques like extending depth of field, mitigating noise (e.g., from atmospheric scattering or ultrasound speckle), and improving resolution using computational methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, and knowledge distillation. These advancements are driving progress in fields ranging from neuroscience and medical imaging to precision agriculture and environmental monitoring, enabling more accurate and efficient data acquisition and interpretation.
