  • Publication number: 20240255427
    Abstract: A method of visualizing details in a sample may comprise generating radiative and non-radiative signals in the sample at an excitation location using an excitation beam, interrogating the sample with an interrogation beam directed toward the excitation location of the sample, and detecting light from the sample. The excitation beam may be focused below a surface of the sample. The interrogation beam may be focused below the surface of the sample. The detected light may include a portion of the interrogation beam returning from the sample. The detected light may be indicative of the generated radiative an non-radiative signals.

  • Patent number: 11109005
    Abstract: A device, system and method for enhancing high-contrast and text regions in projected images is provided. A device applies, to an input image: a high-contrast sharpening filter sharpening high-contrast regions producing a high-contrast sharpened image; and a background sharpening filter sharpening other regions of the input producing a background sharpened image, the background sharpening filter applying less sharpening than the high-contrast sharpening filter.

  • Patent number: 10009587
    Abstract: A projection system for projecting an image with an increased apparent resolution is provided. The projection system includes one or more projectors, a resampler module and a deconvolution module. The resampler module is configured to upsample an incoming high-resolution signal, perform an integer shift operation on a signal, and downsample to two or more low-resolution signals. The deconvolution module is configured to filter the upsampled high-resolution signal using a spatial domain deconvolution operation, the spatial domain deconvolution operation approximating frequency domain optical corrections based on characteristics of the one or more projectors. Preferably, the spatial domain deconvolution operation uses an N×N spatial kernel extracted from a spatial domain approximation of a Wiener filter.
