In computational imaging and lithography, it has been a challenge for a numerical model to faithfully preserve symmetries in the physical imaging system. In this Letter, we present a project-to-symmetry-subspace (PTSS) method to prevent symmetry loss during the iterative generation of optical kernels. Essentially, PTSS is to project iterative vectors onto a predefined symmetric subspace when decomposing the transmission cross coefficient (TCC). Simulation results demonstrate the PTSS-generation of a truncated set of optical kernels that are substantially free of symmetry error, regardless of the order of truncation.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a crucial imaging modality for diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases. However, the accurate segmentation of fluid regions and lesions remains challenging due to noise, low contrast, and blurred edges in OCT images. Although feature modeling with wide or global receptive fields offers a feasible solution, it typically leads to significant computational overhead.

Background: Modern reconstruction algorithms for computed tomography (CT) can exhibit nonlinear properties, including non-stationarity of noise and contrast dependence of both noise and spatial resolution. Model observers have been recommended as a tool for the task-based assessment of image quality (Samei E et al., Med Phys.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscopy are pivotal in retinal imaging, offering distinct advantages and limitations. OCT offers rapid, noninvasive imaging but can suffer from clarity issues and motion artifacts, while confocal microscopy, providing high-resolution, cellular-detailed color images, is invasive and raises ethical concerns. To bridge the benefits of both modalities, we propose a novel framework based on unsupervised 3D CycleGAN for translating unpaired OCT to confocal microscopy images.

Model optimization is a problem of great concern and challenge for developing an image classification model. In image classification, selecting the appropriate hyperparameters can substantially boost the model's ability to learn intricate patterns and features from complex image data. Hyperparameter optimization helps to prevent overfitting by finding the right balance between complexity and generalization of a model.
