In this paper, we demonstrate a blazed phase grating to achieve tunable beam steering and propose a novel algorithm to reduce the stripe noise in wrapped phase. To control the diffraction angle to steer light to the desired direction, an electrically tunable transmission-type beam deflector based on liquid crystals is introduced, and electric fields are applied to the patterned indium tin oxide electrodes to change its phase retardation. Two different 2π phase-wrapping methods are applied to obtain various diffraction angles within the minimum cell-gap, and the method of equal interval of phase achieves a worthwhile diffraction efficiency compared to the methods based on equal interval of diffraction angle. The proposed method is able to completely eliminate the stripe noise in all steering angles that helps to improve the diffraction efficiency.

Objective: To propose a dual-domain CBCT reconstruction framework (DualSFR-Net) based on generative projection interpolation to reduce artifacts in sparse-view cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction.
Methods: The proposed method DualSFR-Net consists of a generative projection interpolation module, a domain transformation module, and an image restoration module. The generative projection interpolation module includes a sparse projection interpolation network (SPINet) based on a generative adversarial network and a full-view projection restoration network (FPRNet).
For light-element materials, X-ray phase contrast imaging provides better contrast compared to absorption imaging. While the Fourier transform method has a shorter imaging time, it typically results in lower image quality; in contrast, the phase-shifting method offers higher image quality but is more time-consuming and involves a higher radiation dose. To rapidly reconstruct low-dose X-ray phase contrast images, this study developed a model based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), incorporating custom layers and self-attention mechanisms to recover high-quality phase contrast images.

With the help of traffic lights and street cameras, optical camera communication (OCC) can be adopted in Internet of Vehicles (IoV) applications to realize communication between vehicles and roadside units. However, the encoded light emitted by these OCC transmitters (LED infrastructures on the roadside and/or LED-based headlamps embedded in cars) will generate stripe patterns in image frames captured by existing license-plate recognition systems, which seriously degrades the accuracy of the recognition. To this end, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a method that can reduce the interference of OCC stripes in the image frames captured by the license-plate recognition system.

In synchrotron X-ray radiography, achieving high image resolution and an optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is crucial for the subsequent accurate image analysis. Traditional methods often struggle to balance these two parameters, especially in situ applications where rapid data acquisition is essential to capture specific dynamic processes. For quantitative image data analysis, using monochromatic X-rays is essential.
