Abstract: The invention discloses a deep learning-based temporal phase unwrapping method for fringe projection profilometry. First, four sets of three-step phase-shifting fringe patterns with different frequencies (including 1, 8, 32, and 64) are projected to the tested objects. The three-step phase-shifting fringe images acquired by the camera are processed to obtain the wrapped phase map using a three-step phase-shifting algorithm. Then, a multi-frequency temporal phase unwrapping (MF-TPU) algorithm is used to unwrap the wrapped phase map to obtain a fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. A residual convolutional neural network is built, and its input data are set to be the wrapped phase maps with frequencies of 1 and 64, and the output data are set to be the fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. Finally, the training dataset and the validation dataset are built to train and validate the network. The network makes predictions on the test dataset to output the fringe order map of the high-frequency phase with 64 periods. The invention exploits a deep learning method to unwrap a wrapped phase map with a frequency of 64 using a wrapped phase map with a frequency of 1 and obtain an absolute phase map with fewer phase errors and higher accuracy.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a three-dimensional diffraction tomography microscopy imaging method based on LED array coded illumination. Firstly, acquiring the raw intensity images, three sets of intensity image stacks are acquired at different out-of-focus positions by moving the stage or using electrically tunable lens. And then, after acquiring the intensity image stacks of the object to be measured at different out-of-focus positions, the three-dimensional phase transfer function of the microscopy imaging system with arbitrary shape illumination is derived. Further, the three-dimensional phase transfer function of the microscopic system under circular and annular illumination with different coherence coefficients is obtained as well, and the three-dimensional quantitative refractive index is reconstructed by inverse Fourier transform of the three-dimensional scattering potential function. The scattering potential function is converted into the refractive index distribution. Thus, the quantitative three-dimensional refractive index distribution of the test object is obtained. The invention realizes high-resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio 3D diffraction tomography microscopic imaging of cells, tiny biological tissues and other samples.

Abstract: A high-illumination numerical aperture-based large field-of-view high-resolution microimaging device, and a method for iterative reconstruction, the device comprising an LED array (1), a stage (2), a condenser (3), a microscopic objective (5), a tube lens (6), and a camera (7), the LED array (1) being arranged on the forward focal plane of the condenser (3). Light emitted by the i-th lit LED unit (8) of the LED array (1) passes through the condenser (3) and converges to become parallel light illuminating a specimen (4) to be examined, which is placed on the stage (2); part of the diffracted light passing through the specimen (4) is collected by the microscopic objective (5), converged by the tube lens (6), and reaches the imaging plane of the camera (7), forming an intensity image recorded by the camera (1). The present device and method ensure controllable programming of the illumination direction, while also ensuring an illumination-numerical-aperture up to 1.20 and thus achieving a reconstruction resolution up to 0.15 μm.

Abstract: A single-shot differential phase contrast quantitative phase imaging method based on color multiplexing illumination. A color multiplexing illumination solution is used to realize single-shot differential phase contrast quantitative phase imaging. In the single-shot color multiplexing illumination solution, three illumination wavelengths of red, green, and blue are used to simultaneously illuminate a sample, and the information of the sample in multiple directions is converted into intensity information on different channels of a color image. By performing channel separation on this color image, the information about the sample at different spatial frequencies can be obtained. Such a color multiplexing illumination solution requires only one acquired image, thus enhancing the transfer response of the phase transfer function of single-shot differential phase contrast imaging in the entire frequency range, and achieving real-time dynamic quantitative phase imaging with a high contrast, a high resolution, and a high stability. In addition, an alternate illumination strategy is provided, so that a completely isotropic imaging resolution at the limit acquisition speed of the camera can be achieved.

Abstract: A calibration method for fringe projection systems based on plane mirrors. Firstly, two mirrors are placed behind the tested object. Through the reflection of mirrors, the camera can image the measured object from the front and other two perspectives, so as to obtain 360-degree two-dimensional information of the measured object. The projector projects three sets of phase-shifting fringe patterns with frequencies of 1, 8, and 64. The camera captures the fringe image to obtain an absolute phase map with a frequency of 64 by using the phase-shifting method and the temporal phase unwrapping algorithm. By using the calibration parameters between the projector and the camera, the absolute phase map can be converted into three-dimensional information of the measured object. Then, the mirror calibration is realized by capturing a set of 3D feature point pairs, so that the 3D information from different perspectives is transformed into a unified world coordinate system. The calibration method does not need to artificially fix the feature pattern on plane mirrors, only needs to capture a set of 3D feature point pairs by the camera to directly realize the mirror calibration that it avoids the loss of measurement accuracy and realizes high-precision panoramic three-dimensional measurement.

In this way, the imaging efficiency is ensured, and the imaging precision is improved.
