    摘要: A system and method of specular reflection detection and reduction includes a processing unit including one or more processors and an imaging unit coupled to the processing unit. The imaging unit includes one or more first illuminators for providing illumination of a region of interest, one or more first detectors for detecting reflections of the illumination, one or more second illuminators for triggering fluorescing of one or more fluorescent materials in the region of interest, and one or more second detectors for detecting the fluorescing of the fluorescent materials. The processing unit is configured to receive a first image from the first detectors, determine one or more regions of high specular reflection in the first image, mask out the regions of high specular reflection in the first image, and generate a composite image based on the masked first image and the detected fluorescence. The first image includes the detected reflections.

    摘要: A detection device for fusion of tactile sensing and optical tomography includes a handheld probe, a controller for performing signal control and data acquisition on the handheld probe and communicating with a computer, and the computer for performing data analysis and image reconstruction and display on controller information. The handheld probe includes a probe front cover. A tactile sensor, a probe base, and a photoelectric sensor module disposed in sequence are sandwiched between a first probe side cover and a second probe side cover matching the probe front cover. An optical fiber connected to the photoelectric sensor module is interposed between the first probe side cover and the second probe side cover. A detection method based on the detection device comprises detecting tumors inside biological tissue, and detecting physical changes (i.e. local hardness) of the tissue and functional changes (i.e. blood supply distribution) of the tissue.

    摘要: An imaging system includes an illuminator for providing illumination on a region of interest, one or more first detectors for detecting reflections of the illumination, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to: receive a first image containing the region of interest; determine a first region of high specular reflection in the first image based on the reflections of the illumination on the region of interest; mask the first image by substituting a default color designating masking to alert a user to incomplete image information in the first region of high specular reflection to create a masked first image; and generate a composite image based on the masked first image and a fluorescence image of the region of interest.
