Eigenvector-based spatial filtering for reduction of physiological interference in diffuse optical imaging.

abstract：:We present a simple wide-field imaging technique, called HiLo microscopy, that is capable of producing optically sectioned images in real time, comparable in quality to confocal laser scanning microscopy. The technique is based on the fusion of two raw images, one acquired with speckle illumination and another with st...
