Summary: In this work, a novel visual inspection method using light-field 3D imaging is proposed to detect defects on a display panel. By acquiring high-resolution depth information of defects located inside transparent layers without powering the panel, the physical locations of defects can be estimated. The types of defects and their layer locations can be automatically classified along the depth axis in multiple transparent layers. Experimental results validate the successful detection and classification of various display defects.

Summary: This manuscript describes the development of a single shot, self-referencing wavefront division, multiplexing digital holographic microscope employing LED sources for large field of view quantitative phase imaging of biological samples. The use of multiple Fresnel biprisms enhances the field of view and increases the signal to noise ratio, enabling hologram multiplexing. The use of low temporally coherent sources reduces speckle noise, cost, and form factor.

Summary: Integral imaging (InIm) is a useful technique for passive ranging and 3D visualization of partially-occluded objects. This study improves upon an existing InIm method by using Bayesian optimization to minimize the number of 3D scene reconstructions required for depth estimation. The proposed approach achieves depth estimation with a few 3D reconstructions and is the first to use Bayesian optimization for mutual information-based InIm depth estimation.

Summary: In this study, we used the angular spectrum propagation method to analyze the spatial resolution of a single random phase encoding (SRPE) based lensless imaging system. We found that the SRPE system has comparable lateral resolution to lens-based imaging systems, despite being lensless. Additionally, we investigated the robustness of the SRPE system to variations in physical parameters such as object to diffuser-to-sensor distance and pixel size of the image sensor. This research provides valuable insights into the lateral resolution and robustness of lensless imaging systems.
