What about computational super-resolution in fluorescence Fourier light field microscopy?

Recently, Fourier light field microscopy was proposed to overcome the limitations in conventional light field microscopy by placing a micro-lens array at the aperture stop of the microscope objective instead of the image plane. In this way, a collection of orthographic views from different perspectives are directly captured. When inspecting fluorescent samples, the sensitivity and noise of the sensors are a major concern and large sensor pixels are required to cope with low-light conditions, which implies under-sampling issues.

Artifact-free deconvolution in light field microscopy.

The sampling patterns of the light field microscope (LFM) are highly depth-dependent, which implies non-uniform recoverable lateral resolution across depth. Moreover, reconstructions using state-of-the-art approaches suffer from strong artifacts at axial ranges, where the LFM samples the light field at a coarse rate. In this work, we analyze the sampling patterns of the LFM, and introduce a flexible light field point spread function model (LFPSF) to cope with arbitrary LFM designs.

NeuBtracker-imaging neurobehavioral dynamics in freely behaving fish.

A long-standing objective in neuroscience has been to image distributed neuronal activity in freely behaving animals. Here we introduce NeuBtracker, a tracking microscope for simultaneous imaging of neuronal activity and behavior of freely swimming fluorescent reporter fish. We showcase the value of NeuBtracker for screening neurostimulants with respect to their combined neuronal and behavioral effects and for determining spontaneous and stimulus-induced spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activation during naturalistic behavior.

Joint Segmentation and Shape Regularization With a Generalized Forward-Backward Algorithm.

This paper presents a method for the simultaneous segmentation and regularization of a series of shapes from a corresponding sequence of images. Such series arise as time series of 2D images when considering video data, or as stacks of 2D images obtained by slicewise tomographic reconstruction. We first derive a model where the regularization of the shape signal is achieved by a total variation prior on the shape manifold.
