Computational cannula microscopy (CCM) is a high-resolution widefield fluorescence imaging approach deep inside tissue, which is minimally invasive. Rather than using conventional lenses, a surgical cannula acts as a lightpipe for both excitation and...
A transmission hyperspectral microscopic imager (THMI) that utilizes machine learning algorithms for hyperspectral detection of microalgae is presented. The THMI system has excellent performance with spatial and spectral resolutions of 4 µm and 3 nm,...
Different techniques exist for determining chlorophyll-a concentration as a proxy of phytoplankton abundance. In this study, a novel method based on the spectral particulate beam-attenuation coefficient (c) was developed to estimate chlorophyll-a con...
We describe and compare two machine learning approaches for cell classification based on label-free quantitative phase imaging with transport of intensity equation methods. In one approach, we design a multilevel integrated machine learning classifie...
In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal human gesture recognition algorithm under degraded conditions using three-dimensional integral imaging and deep learning. The proposed algorithm leverages the advantages of integral imaging with deep learni...
We propose a photonic spiking neural network (SNN) based on excitable vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with an embedded saturable absorber (VCSELs-SA) for emulating the sound azimuth detection function of the brain for the first time. Here, th...
The analysis of the dynamics of speckle patterns that are generated when laser light is back scattered from a tissue has been recently shown as very applicable for remote sensing of various bio-medical parameters. In this work, we present how the ana...
This paper investigates the performance of the neural network (NN) assisted motion detection (MD) over an indoor optical camera communication (OCC) link. The proposed study is based on the performance evaluation of various NN training algorithms, whi...
Optical cell manipulation has become increasingly valuable in cell-based assays. In this paper, we demonstrate the translational and rotational manipulation of filamentous cells using multiple cooperative microrobots automatically driven by holograph...
An outstanding challenge for immunology is the classification of immune cells in a label-free fashion with high speed. For this purpose, optical techniques such as Raman spectroscopy or digital holographic microscopy have been used successfully to id...
