The hyperspectral scattering images of dO fresh pork samples were collected at the wavelength of 400 -I 100 nm, and the scattering profiles were fitted via Lorontzian distribution （ LD ） function to give three parameters a （ asymptotic value ）, b （peak value ） and c （ full width at b/2）. Stepwise discrimination was performed to determine the optimal wavelengths combinations. The LD parameters combinations （a, b and c） of optimal wavelengths were used to establish multi-linear regression （MLR） models to predict the pork attributes. The models were able to predict pork with high correlation coefficients of 0.92 for drip-loss, 0.94, 0.92 and 0.98 respectively for color parameters （ a ＊ , b＊ and L ＊ ）, and for tenderness and pH value the models gave the correlation coefficients of 0.69 and 0.76, respectively. These results showed that the hyperspectral scattering technique was capable of predicting quality parameters of perk. The study provides an efficient means for rapid and nondestructive determination of pork quality simultaneously.展开更多

In acidic medium, porphine-5,10,15,20-tetrakis（p-phenyltlimethylaminium） （PTPTMA）, could stack along the molecular surface of DNA with the mode of long-range assembly to induce the formation of suprahelical species of DNA, resulting in strong RLS signals in the range of 450-510 nm. Under the excitation of 488 nm fight beam of argon ion laser source, single suprahelical species could be observed with the aid of a common microscope due to the strong scattered fight emitted by the suprahelical species. By capturing the RLS images of the single suprahelical species with a cooled charge coupled device （CCD） camera, and analyzing the RLS data, herein an RLS imaging method of DNA was proposed based on the linear relationship between the counts of suprahelical species in the detection focus plane and the concentration of DNA in nanograms. When 1.8 μmol/L PTPTMA was employed, both calf thymus DNA （ct DNA） and fish sperm DNA （fs DNA） in the range of 25-1100 ng/mL could be detected with the limits of detection lower than 25 ng/mL （3a）.

However, most of the scattering imaging methods rely on a narrow linewidth of light, limiting their application. A mixture of the scattering light from various spectra blurs the detected speckle pattern, bringing difficulty in phase retrieval. Image reconstruction becomes much worse for dynamic objects due to short exposure times. We here investigate non-invasively recovering images of dynamic objects under white-light irradiation with the multi-frame OTF retrieval engine (MORE). By exploiting redundant information from multiple measurements, MORE recovers the phases of the optical-transfer-function (OTF) instead of recovering a single image of an object. Furthermore, we introduce the number of non-zero pixels (NNP) into MORE, which brings improvement on recovered images. An experimental proof is performed for dynamic objects at a frame rate of 20 Hz under white-light irradiation of more than 300 nm bandwidth.展开更多

This paper investigates the scattered field distributions of different incident waves created by elastic cylinders embedded in an elastic isotropic medium. Scattered waves, including longitudinal and transverse waves both inside and outside the cylinder, are described with specific modalities under an incident plane wave. A model with a scatterer embedded in a structural steel matrix and filled with aluminum is developed for comparison with the theoretical solution. The frequency of the plane wave ranged from 235 kHz to 2348 kHz, which corresponds to scaling factors from 0.5 to 5. Scattered field distributions in matrix materials blocked by an elastic cylindrical solid have been obtained by simulation or calculated using existing parameters. The simulation results are in good agreement with the theoretical solution, which supports the correctness of the simulation analysis. Furthermore, ultrasonic phased arrays are used to study scattered fields by changing the characteristics of the incident wave. On this foundation, a partial preliminary study of the scattered field distribution of double cylinders in a solid has been carried out, and the scattered field distribution at a given distance has been found to exhibit particular behaviors at different moments. Further studies on directivities and scattered fields are expected to improve the quantification of scattered images in isotropic solid materials by the phased array technique.展开更多

The hyperspectral scattering images of dO fresh pork samples were collected at the wavelength of 400 -I 100 nm, and the scattering profiles were fitted via Lorontzian distribution （ LD ） function to give three parameters a （ asymptotic value ）, b （peak value ） and c （ full width at b/2）. Stepwise discrimination was performed to determine the optimal wavelengths combinations. The LD parameters combinations （a, b and c） of optimal wavelengths were used to establish multi-linear regression （MLR） models to predict the pork attributes. The models were able to predict pork with high correlation coefficients of 0.92 for drip-loss, 0.94, 0.92 and 0.98 respectively for color parameters （ a ＊ , b＊ and L ＊ ）, and for tenderness and pH value the models gave the correlation coefficients of 0.69 and 0.76, respectively. These results showed that the hyperspectral scattering technique was capable of predicting quality parameters of perk. The study provides an efficient means for rapid and nondestructive determination of pork quality simultaneously.

文摘Goafs are threats to safe mining.Their imaging effects or those of other complex geological bodies are often poor in conventional reflected wave images.Hence,accurate detection of goafs has become an important problem,to be solved with a sense of urgency.Based on scattering theory,we used an equivalent offset method to extract Common Scattering Point gathers,in order to analyze different scattering wave characteristics between Common Scattering Point and Common Mid Point gathers and to compare stack and migration imaging effects.Our research results show that the scattering wave imaging method is more efficient than the conventional imaging method and is therefore a more effective imaging method for detecting goafs and other complex geological bodies.It has important implications for safe mining procedures and infrastructures.

文摘We propose and implement a wide-field vibrational phase contrast detection to obtain imaging of imaginary components of third-order nonlinear susceptibility in a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering （CARS） microscope with full suppression of the non-resonant background. This technique is based on the unique ability of recovering the phase of the generated CARS signal based on holographic recording. By capturing the phase distributions of the generated CARS field from the sample and from the environment under resonant illumination, we demonstrate the retrieval of imaginary components in the CARS microscope and achieve background free coherent Raman imaging.

文摘A novel method combining visualization particle tracking with image-based dynamic light scattering was developed to achieve the in situ and real-time size measurement of nanobubbles(NBs).First,the in situ size distribution of NBs was visualized by dark-field microscopy.Then,real-time size during the preparation was measured using image-based dynamic light scattering,and the longitudinal size distribution of NBs in the sample cell was obtained in a steady state.Results show that this strategy can provide a detailed and accurate size of bubbles in the whole sample compared with the commercial ZetaSizer Nano equipment.Therefore,the developed method is a real-time and simple technology with excellent accuracy,providing new insights into the accurate measurement of the size distribution of NBs or nanoparticles in solution.

文摘Scattered light imaging through complex turbid media has significant applications in biomedical and optical research.For the past decade,various approaches have been proposed for rapidly reconstructing fullcolor,depth-extended images by introducing point spread functions(PSFs).However,because most of these methods consider memory effects(MEs),the PSFs have angular shift invariance over certain ranges of angles.This assumption is valid for only thin turbid media and hinders broader applications of these technologies in thick media.Furthermore,the time-variant characteristics of scattering media determine that the PSF acquisition and image reconstruction times must be less than the speckle decorrelation time,which is usually difficult to achieve.We demonstrate that image reconstruction methods can be applied to timevariant thick turbid media.Using the time-variant characteristics,the PSFs in dynamic turbid media within certain time intervals are recorded,and ergodic scattering regimes are achieved and combined as ensemble point spread functions(ePSFs).The ePSF traverses shift-invariant regions in the turbid media and retrieves objects beyond the ME.Furthermore,our theory and experimental results verify that our approach is applicable to thick turbid media with thickness of 1 cm at visible incident wavelengths.

文摘We propose a design method for a diffractive neural network(DNN)for imaging through scattering media,offering robustness against the spatial coherence of illumination,scattering strength,and scattering dynamics.Most techniques for imaging through scattering media are time-consuming and/or tailored to specific optical conditions.The DNN,composed of layers of diffractive optical elements(DOEs),optically reproduces the intensity distributions of objects behind scattering media without any computational processing.Datasets with randomized optical parameters are provided during the training process to achieve this robustness.We demonstrate the proposed method through numerical calculations and show its promising capability for DOE design.Our study paves the way for unifying and generalizing techniques for imaging through scattering media,which are currently fragmented by specific scenarios,enabling highly flexible imaging independent of optical conditions.

文摘Light field imaging has shown significance in research fields for its high-temporal-resolution 3D imaging ability.However,in scenes of light field imaging through scattering,such as biological imaging in vivo and imaging in fog,the quality of 3D reconstruction will be severely reduced due to the scattering of the light field information.In this paper,we propose a deep learning-based method of scattering removal of light field imaging.In this method,a neural network,trained by simulation samples that are generated by light field imaging forward models with and without scattering,is utilized to remove the effect of scattering on light fields captured experimentally.With the deblurred light field and the scattering-free forward model,3D reconstruction with high resolution and high contrast can be realized.We demonstrate the proposed method by using it to realize high-quality 3D reconstruction through a single scattering layer experimentally.

文摘Imaging objects hidden behind turbid media is of great scientific importance and practical value, which has been drawing a lot of attention recently. However, most of the scattering imaging methods rely on a narrow linewidth of light, limiting their application. A mixture of the scattering light from various spectra blurs the detected speckle pattern, bringing difficulty in phase retrieval. Image reconstruction becomes much worse for dynamic objects due to short exposure times. We here investigate non-invasively recovering images of dynamic objects under white-light irradiation with the multi-frame OTF retrieval engine (MORE). By exploiting redundant information from multiple measurements, MORE recovers the phases of the optical-transfer-function (OTF) instead of recovering a single image of an object. Furthermore, we introduce the number of non-zero pixels (NNP) into MORE, which brings improvement on recovered images. An experimental proof is performed for dynamic objects at a frame rate of 20 Hz under white-light irradiation of more than 300 nm bandwidth.

文摘The problem of imaging through thick scattering media is encountered in many disciplines of science,ranging from mesoscopic physics to astronomy.Photons become diffusive after propagating through a scattering medium with an optical thickness of over 10 times the scattering mean free path.As a result,no image but only noise-like patterns can be directly formed.We propose a hybrid neural network for computational imaging through such thick scattering media,demonstrating the reconstruction of image information from various targets hidden behind a white polystyrene slab of 3 mm in thickness or 13.4 times the scattering mean free path.We also demonstrate that the target image can be retrieved with acceptable quality from a very small fraction of its scattered pattern,suggesting that the speckle pattern produced in this way is highly redundant.This leads to a profound question of how the information of the target being encoded into the speckle is to be addressed in future studies.

文摘The scattered fields of plane waves in a solid from a cylinder or sphere are critical in determining its acoustic characteristics as well as in engineering applications. This paper investigates the scattered field distributions of different incident waves created by elastic cylinders embedded in an elastic isotropic medium. Scattered waves, including longitudinal and transverse waves both inside and outside the cylinder, are described with specific modalities under an incident plane wave. A model with a scatterer embedded in a structural steel matrix and filled with aluminum is developed for comparison with the theoretical solution. The frequency of the plane wave ranged from 235 kHz to 2348 kHz, which corresponds to scaling factors from 0.5 to 5. Scattered field distributions in matrix materials blocked by an elastic cylindrical solid have been obtained by simulation or calculated using existing parameters. The simulation results are in good agreement with the theoretical solution, which supports the correctness of the simulation analysis. Furthermore, ultrasonic phased arrays are used to study scattered fields by changing the characteristics of the incident wave. On this foundation, a partial preliminary study of the scattered field distribution of double cylinders in a solid has been carried out, and the scattered field distribution at a given distance has been found to exhibit particular behaviors at different moments. Further studies on directivities and scattered fields are expected to improve the quantification of scattered images in isotropic solid materials by the phased array technique.
