Extended Depth-of-Field of a Miniature Optical Endoscope Using Wavefront Coding
Endoscopic imaging is an indispensable tool for visual inspection of surfaces in hard-to-access places. The conventional optical endoscope only enables imaging the regions that lie close to the focal plane, and therefore improving the depth of field (DOF)

Video-rate 3D Particle Tracking with Extended Depth-of-field in Thick Biological Samples [PDF]
We present a single-aperture 3D particle localisation and tracking technique with a vastly increased depth-of-field without compromising optical resolution and throughput. Flow measurements in a FEP capillary and a zebrafish blood vessel are demonstrated

Time-sequential Pipelined Imaging with Wavefront Coding and Super Resolution [PDF]
Wavefront coding has long offered the prospect of mitigating optical aberrations and extended depth of field, but image quality and noise performance are inevitably reduced. We report on progress in the use of agile encoding and pipelined fusion of image

Shaded-Mask Filtering for Extended Depth-of-Field Microscopy [PDF]
This paper proposes a new spatial filtering approach for increasing the depth-of-field (DOF) of imaging systems, which is very useful for obtaining sharp images for a wide range of axial positions of the object.

Deep Eyes: Binocular Depth-from-Focus on Focal Stack Pairs
Human visual system relies on both binocular stereo cues and monocular focusness cues to gain effective 3D perception. In computer vision, the two problems are traditionally solved in separate tracks.
