• Abstract: The noise in absorption imaging of cold atoms significantly impacts measurement accuracy across a range of applications with ultracold atoms. It is crucial to adopt an approach that offers effective denoising capabilities without compromising the unique structure of the atoms. Here we introduce a novel image enhancement algorithm for cold atomic absorption imaging. The algorithm successfully suppresses background noise, enhancing image contrast significantly. Experimental results showcase that this approach can enhance the accuracy of cold atom particle number measurements by approximately tenfold, all while preserving essential information. Moreover, the method exhibits exceptional performance and robustness when confronted with fringe noise and multi-component imaging scenarios, offering high stability. Importantly, the optimization process is entirely automated, eliminating the need for manual parameter selection. The method is both compatible and practical, making it applicable across various absorption imaging fields.

  FreeEnhance is a framework for content-consistent image enhancement using off-the-shelf image diffusion models. In the noising stage, FreeEnhance is devised to add lighter noise to the region with higher frequency to preserve the high-frequent patterns in the original image. In the denoising stage, we present three target properties as constraints to regularize the predicted noise, enhancing images with high acutance and high visual quality.

  Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) imaging suffers from noise due to the maximum permissible exposure of laser intensity, attenuation of ultrasound in the tissue, and the inherent noise of the transducer. We propose a deep learning-based method to remove complex noise from PAM images without mathematical priors and manual selection of settings for different input images.
