Experimental results of NeuWS, a technology that corrects for distortions caused by light scattering

Caption

In experiments, camera technology called NeuWS, which was invented by collaborators at Rice University and the University of Maryland, was able to correct for the interference of light scattering media between the camera and the object being imaged. The top row shows a reference image of a butterfly stamp (left), the stamp imaged by a regular camera through a piece of onion skin that was approximately 80 microns thick (center) and a NeuWS image that corrected for light scattering by the onion skin (right). The center row shows reference (left), uncorrected (center) and corrected (right) images of a sample of dog esophagus tissue with a 0.5 degree light diffuser as the scattering medium, and the bottom row shows corresponding images of a positive resolution target with a glass slide covered in nail polish as the scattering medium. Close-ups of inset images from each row are shown for comparison at left. (Figure courtesy Veeraraghavan Lab/Rice University)
