Gram–Schmidt orthonormalization for retrieval of amplitude images under sinusoidal patterns of illumination

Abstract

Structured illumination using sinusoidal patterns has been used for optical imaging of biological tissues in biomedical research, and of horticultural products in food quality evaluation. Implementation of structured-illumination imaging relies on retrieval of amplitude images, which is conventionally achieved by a phase-shifting technique that requires collecting a minimum of three phase-shifted images. In this study, we have proposed Gram–Schmidt orthonormalization (GSO) to retrieve amplitude component (AC) images using only two phase-shifted images. We have proposed two forms of GSO implementation, and prior to GSO processing, we eliminated the direct component (DC) background by subtracting a DC image we recovered using a spiral phase function (SPF) in the Fourier space. We demonstrated the GSO methods through numerical simulations and application examples of detection of bruise defects in apples by structured-illumination reflectance imaging (SIRI). GSO performed comparably to conventional three-phase-based demodulation. It is simple, fast and effective for amplitude retrieval and requires no prior phase information, which could facilitate fast implementation of structured-illumination imaging.
