SYNTHESIZING LIGHT FIELDS IN MICROSCOPY

摘要

A light field representation of a sample is synthesized or simulated based on bright field image data and phase image data acquired by a microscope such as a quantitative phase microscope. The light field representation may be utilized to render three-dimensional representations of the sample.

主权项

1. A method for synthesizing a light field representation of a sample, the method comprising:
acquiring bright field image data for a plurality of pixels of the sample; acquiring phase image data for the plurality of pixels; calculating mean ray pointing direction data for the plurality of pixels based on the acquired phase image data; and calculating a light field based on the calculated mean ray pointing direction data and the acquired bright field image data.
