Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Main Methods:

Development of a pixel visual feature (PVF) with learned weights and receptive fields for optimal feature extraction.
Implementation of a random forest framework utilizing the optimal PVF for FOD segmentation.
Validation of the proposed method on a dedicated FOD dataset.

Main Results:

The proposed random forest method with optimal PVF demonstrated superior precision and recall compared to the original random forest.
The method outperformed the deep learning model Deeplabv3+ in FOD detection accuracy.
The study validates the effectiveness of the novel PVF approach for FOD identification.

Conclusions:

The developed method significantly improves the accuracy of foreign object debris detection in aviation.
