• Abstract: Spatial resolution is one of the most important specifications of an imaging system. Recent results in quantum parameter estimation theory reveal that an arbitrarily small distance between two incoherent point sources can always be efficiently determined through the use of a spatial mode sorter. However, extending this procedure to a general object consisting of many incoherent point sources remains challenging, due to the intrinsic complexity of multi-parameter estimation problems. Here, we generalize the Richardson-Lucy (RL) deconvolution algorithm to address this challenge. We simulate its application to an incoherent confocal microscope, with a Zernike spatial mode sorter replacing the pinhole used in a conventional confocal microscope. We test different spatially incoherent objects of arbitrary geometry, and we find that the resolution enhancement of sorter-based microscopy is on average over 30% higher than that of a conventional confocal microscope using the standard RL deconvolution algorithm. Our method could potentially be used in diverse applications such as fluorescence microscopy and astronomical imaging.

  Cross-resolution image alignment is a key problem in multiscale giga photography. Existing deep homography methods neglecting the explicit formulation of correspondences between them, which leads to degraded accuracy in cross-resolution challenges. We propose a local transformer network embedded within a multiscale structure to explicitly learn correspondences between the multimodal inputs.

  We present a deep-learning-enabled unsupervised super-resolution technique that enhances anisotropic images in fluorescence microscopy. Our method greatly reduces the effort to put into practice as the training of a network requires as little as a single 3D image stack. We demonstrate that the trained network not only enhances axial resolution beyond the diffraction limit, but also enhances suppressed visual details between the imaging planes and removes imaging artifacts.
