Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE: Reducing the bit depth is an effective approach to lower the cost of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging device and increase the transmission efficiency in data acquisition and telemedicine. However, a low bit depth will lead to the degradation of the detection sensitivity, thus reducing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of OCT images.
