Contrast enhancement of underwater images with coherent optical image processors
Abstract:
The use of coherent optical processors for improving the quality of degraded underwater images is discussed, and a holographic filter suitable for the enhancement of contrast in underwater images is described. The filter is a modified matched spatial filter, and it performs a nonlinear local contrast enhancement. The theory of the operation of the coherent optical image processor with this new filter is presented and experimentally verified. The removal of the backscattered light from underwater images is demonstrated under laboratory conditions. The results show an improvement in the overall image contrast.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
