    Abstract: A miniature confocal optical head (4) for a confocal imaging system, in particular endoscopic, includes a point source (2a) for producing a light beam (13); a ball lens (12) arranged at the tip of the optical head, partly outside, to cause the light beam to converge in an excitation point (19) located in a subsurface field under observation (14) of a sample (15), the digital aperture of the lens and the dimension of the point source being adapted to ensure confocality of the assembly; and a scanner (10, 211, 22) for rotating the point source so that the excitation point (19) scans the field under observation. The system produces a real-time confocal image (about 10 images/sec.) of very high quality and homogeneous in the entire field (the optical aberrations are constant in the entire field due to the spherical symmetry of the ball lens), achieved through a miniature head.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a user-guided dip picking method from electrical borehole images using Hough Transform. It includes defining a top and bottom reference curve, applying the Hough Transform to the borehole image limited by the top and bottom reference dips so that the Hough Transform space is restrained in the neighborhood of the reference dips. A 1D average trace representing the extrema of the 3D Hough parameter space for each depth is then computed and the extrema exceeding a given threshold are search in this 1D trace. The position in the 3D Hough space of an extremum represents a dip event.

    Abstract: (A2) An extended depth of field (DOF) imaging system (10) is disclosed that has a corresponding extended depth of focus (DOF′) by virtue of its optical system (20) having a select amount of spherical aberration. The imaging system has an image processing unit (54) adapted to process the raw images and perform contrast enhancement to form processed images. The image processing includes restoring the defocused modulation transfer functions (MTFs) using a gain function (G) and the amount of defocus. The imaging system can include an illumination system (60) that illuminates the object being imaged to establish a distance (DH) between the optical system and the object, where distance DH is used in the restoring of the MTF. An iris-recognition (I-R) system based on the enhanced DOF imaging system is also disclosed.; Optical system embodiments for use in the DOF imaging system that can provide select amounts of spherical aberration—and thus select increases in DOF—without increasing the adverse impact of other aberrations on image formation are also disclosed.
