Imaging through strongly scattering media noninvasively faces a key challenge: reconstructing the object phase spectrum. Speckle correlation imaging (SCI) effectively reconstructs the amplitude spectrum but struggles with stable and accurate phase spectrum reconstruction, particularly in variable or background-light-interfered scenarios. In this study, we proposed a speckle spectrum autocorrelation imaging (SSAI) approach for complex strongly scattering scenarios. SSAI employs the spectrum autocorrelation of centroid-aligned speckle images for independent and stable reconstruction of the object phase spectrum, markedly reducing interference from medium dynamics and object motion. Then, SSAI reconstructs the object spectrum by combining the object phase spectrum with the object amplitude spectrum recovered from the speckle autocorrelation. In the experimental validation, we compared SSAI and SCI in reconstructing stationary and moving objects hidden behind dynamic media, both with and without background light interference. SSAI not only exhibits stability and fidelity superior to SCI but also functions in scattering scenarios where SCI fails. Furthermore, SSAI can reconstruct size-scaling objects hidden behind dynamic scattering media with high fidelity, showing significant scalability in complex scenarios. We expect this lensless and noninvasive approach to find widespread applicability in biomedical imaging, astronomical observations, remote sensing, and underwater detection.

空间载波数字散斑干涉系统中的光阑是决定测量性能的核心部件之一,目前光阑轴向位置对相位图的影响尚缺乏研究。通过光学傅里叶变换理论分析与实验验证,揭示了光阑轴向位移对频谱及相位图的影响。研究表明,光阑位置改变会导致空间频谱丢失,从而影响相位图质量。光阑位置在结构相似度(Structure Similarity,SSIM)与噪声方差方面存在矛盾特性,在临界位置(65 mm)可以实现优化平衡,SSIM 0.931,噪声方差3.82。该结果为光路设计与测量性能优化提供了重要依据。

A cross air–water interface hydroacoustic signal detection method based on microvibration detection at the air–water interface is proposed. Laser speckles modulated by water surface acoustic waves are recorded and used as an information carrier. Phase correlation and multichannel fusion algorithms are used to extract and enhance hydroacoustic signals. Wide frequency range (200 Hz to 20 kHz) underwater acoustic signals are detected with a frequency relative error smaller than 0.5%. Several common artificial and natural hydroacoustic signals are used as source signals and correctly reconstructed. The average intelligibility of recovered humpback whale signals evaluated with the normalized subband envelope correlation algorithm is 0.52 ± 0.02.

主观散斑广泛应用于光学成像、目标检测等多个领域,尤其是面内位移测量领域更是备受关注,其中照明激光则是影响其测量的关键因素之一。首先基于信息光学理论研究了球面波和平面波照明下的透镜成像原理;然后搭建了一个主观散斑光学系统,分别在球面波和平面波照明下利用数字图像相关法对散射物体的面内位移进行了测量,并根据上述原理分析讨论了两种波面对测量的影响。结果发现两种波面对面内位移的测量误差影响有限,但对测量极限影响较大,球面波照明下的面内位移测量极限要低于平面波照明下的极限值。

数字全息图像在压缩过程中产生的失真会降低其重建像的质量,增加了散斑噪声去除的难度。此外,现有散斑去噪方法需要针对不同程度的压缩失真分别训练不同的网络,这限制了其在实际应用中的灵活性。针对上述问题,提出了一种面向压缩失真的数字全息重建像无监督散斑噪声去除方法。基于压缩过程的质量因子,设计了一个压缩感知注意力模块动态调整网络的权重,实现对去噪过程的自适应控制。其次,使用散斑噪声相关性卷积并结合盲点网络架构,以避免采样密度受限而导致细节信息丢失。最后,引入非线性注意力模块增加全局信息的交互,使网络更加精确地捕获散斑噪声。实验结果表明,所提出方法在有效去除散斑噪声的同时能够保留更多的细节信息。与现有方法相比,所提出方法在客观质量评估和主观视觉感知两方面均取得更好的结果。

Structured illumination, a wide-field imaging approach used in microscopy to enhance image resolution beyond the system's diffraction limits, is a well-studied technique that has gained significant traction over the last two decades. However, when translated to endoscopic systems, severe deformations of illumination patterns occur due to the large depth of field (DOF) and the 3D nature of the targets, introducing significant implementation challenges. Hence, this study explores a speckle-based system that best suits endoscopic practices to enhance image resolution by using random illumination patterns. The study presents a prototypic model of an endoscopic add-on, its design, and fabrication facilitated by using the speckle structured illumination endoscopic (SSIE) system. The imaging results of the SSIE are explained on a colon phantom model at different imaging planes with a wide field of view (FOV) and DOF. The obtained imaging metrics are elucidated and compared with state-of-the-art (SOA) high-resolution endoscopic techniques. Moreover, the potential for a clinical translation of the prototypic SSIE model is also explored in this work. The incorporation of the add-on and its subsequent results on the colon phantom model could potentially pave the way for its successful integration and use in futuristic clinical endoscopic trials.

Abstract
Acetone is a widely used volatile organic compound in various industries, and several gas sensors have been developed for its detection and real-time monitoring. This study reported a novel method for determining the acetone vapor concentration based on correlated laser speckles using polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs). Here, PDLC films comprising a mixture of the thermotropic nematic liquid crystal (LC) and ultraviolet-curable polymers were fabricated using different LC mass ratios and ultraviolet curing conditions. The laser beam was transmitted through the PDLC film to generate scattered light and speckles. When the PDLC film was exposed to the acetone vapor, the acetone molecules diffused into the PDLC film and interacted with the LC molecules, modifying the orientation of the LC molecules and the equivalent refractive index of the LC droplets. This in turn decreased the correlation coefficient of the speckle images. The experimental results indicated that the PDLC gas sensor was selectively sensitive to different concentrations of the acetone vapor, ranging from 1 800 ppm to 3 200 ppm. In comparison with traditional LC gas sensors that use a polarizing microscope to detect the change in brightness of the modulated light field, the proposed method is simpler, less expensive, and more robust under external disturbances such as vibrations.

Abstract
Current study presents an advanced method for improving the visualization of subsurface blood vessels using laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI), enhanced through principal component analysis (PCA) filtering. By combining LSCI and laser speckle entropy imaging with PCA filtering, the method effectively separates static and dynamic components of the speckle signal, significantly improving the accuracy of blood flow assessments, even in the presence of static scattering layers located above and below the vessel. Experiments conducted on optical phantoms, with the vessel depths ranging from 0.6 to 2 mm, and in vivo studies on a laboratory mouse ear demonstrate substantial improvements in image contrast and resolution. The method's sensitivity to blood flow velocity within the physiologic range (0.98–19.66 mm/s) is significantly enhanced, while its sensitivity to vessel depth is minimized. These results highlight the method's ability to assess blood flow velocity inde-pendently of vessel depth, overcoming a major limitation of conventional LSCI techniques. The proposed approach holds great potential for non-invasive biomedical imaging, offering improved diagnostic accuracy and contrast in vascular imaging. These findings may be particularly valuable for advancing the use of LSCI in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research, where high precision in blood flow monitoring is essential.
