In this manuscript, a technique for speckle noise reduction in ultrasound images is presented. The method exploits Wiener filter and is able to take into account spatial correlation among noise samples. With respect to classical Wiener filter approach developed in independence hypothesis, the methodology is able to sensibly improve filtering performances, at the cost of no computational time increase. Results on realistic simulated datasets are reported, showing the effectiveness of the approach.

Objective: Social communication difficulties are a characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition. The earlier method of diagnosing autism largely relied on error-prone behavioral observation of symptoms. More intelligence approaches are in progress to diagnose the disorder, which still demands improvement in prediction accuracy.

Super-solution fluorescence microscopy, such as single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), is effective in observing subcellular structures and achieving excellent enhancement in spatial resolution in contrast to traditional fluorescence microscopy. Recently, deep learning has demonstrated excellent performance in SMLM in solving the trade-offs between spatiotemporal resolution, phototoxicity, and signal intensity. However, most of these researches rely on sufficient and high-quality datasets.

Diffractive achromats (DAs) combined with image processing algorithms offer a promising lens solution for high-performance ultra-thin imagers. However, the design of large-aperture DAs that align seamlessly with image processing algorithms remains challenging. Existing sequential methods, which prioritize focusing efficiency in DAs before selecting an algorithm, may not achieve a satisfactory match due to an ambiguous relationship between efficiency and final imaging quality.
