Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) systems are limited by their slow processing speed, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and expensive and challenging hardware setups. In this work, we demonstrate applying a denoising convolutional network to improve FLIM SNR. The network will be integrated with an instant FLIM system with fast data acquisition based on analog signal processing, high SNR using high-efficiency pulse-modulation, and cost-effective implementation utilizing off-the-shelf radio-frequency components. Our instant FLIM system simultaneously provides the intensity, lifetime, and phasor plots textit{in vivo} and textit{ex vivo}. By integrating image denoising using the trained deep learning model on the FLIM data, provide accurate FLIM phasor measurements are obtained. The enhanced phasor is then passed through the K-means clustering segmentation method, an unbiased and unsupervised machine learning technique to separate different fluorophores accurately. Our experimental textit{in vivo} mouse kidney results indicate that introducing the deep learning image denoising model before the segmentation effectively removes the noise in the phasor compared to existing methods and provides clearer segments. Hence, the proposed deep learning-based workflow provides fast and accurate automatic segmentation of fluorescence images using instant FLIM. The denoising operation is effective for the segmentation if the FLIM measurements are noisy. The clustering can effectively enhance the detection of biological structures of interest in biomedical imaging applications.

Ghost imaging (GI) has been paid attention gradually because of its lens-less imaging capability, turbulence-free imaging and high detection sensitivity. However, low image quality and slow imaging speed restrict the application process of GI. In thi
s paper, we propose a improved GI method based on Denoising Convolutional Neural Networks (DnCNN). Inspired by the corresponding between input (noisy image) and output (residual image) in DnCNN, we construct the mapping between speckles sequence and the corresponding noise distribution in GI through training. Then, the same speckles sequence is employed to illuminate unknown targets, and a de-noising target image will be obtained. The proposed method can be regarded as a general method for GI. Under two sampling rates, extensive experiments are carried out to compare with traditional GI method (basic correlation and compressed sensing) and DnCNN method on three data sets. Moreover, we set up a physical GI experiment system to verify the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method achieves promising performance.
We report the development and detailed calibration of a multiphoton fluorescence lifetime imaging system (FLIM) using a streak camera. The present system is versatile with high spatial (0.2 micron) and temporal (50 psec) resolution and allows rapid d
ata acquisition and reliable and reproducible lifetime determinations. The system was calibrated with standard fluorescent dyes and the lifetime values obtained were in very good agreement with values reported in literature for these dyes. We also demonstrate the applicability of the system to FLIM studies in cellular specimens including stained pollen grains and fibroblast cells expressing green fluorescent protein. The lifetime values obtained matched well with those reported earlier by other groups for these same specimens. Potential applications of the present system include the measurement of intracellular physiology and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) imaging which are discussed in the context of live cell imaging.
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique in biomedical research that uses the fluorophore decay rate to provide additional contrast in fluorescence microscopy. However, at present, the calculation, analysis, and interpr
etation of FLIM is a complex, slow, and computationally expensive process. Machine learning (ML) techniques are well suited to extract and interpret measurements from multi-dimensional FLIM data sets with substantial improvement in speed over conventional methods. In this topical review, we first discuss the basics of FILM and ML. Second, we provide a summary of lifetime extraction strategies using ML and its applications in classifying and segmenting FILM images with higher accuracy compared to conventional methods. Finally, we discuss two potential directions to improve FLIM with ML with proof of concept demonstrations.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have recently become a favored technique for image denoising due to its adaptive learning ability, especially with a deep configuration. However, their efficacy is inherently limited owing to their homogenous netw
ork formation with the unique use of linear convolution. In this study, we propose a heterogeneous network model which allows greater flexibility for embedding additional non-linearity at the core of the data transformation. To this end, we propose the idea of an operational neuron or Operational Neural Networks (ONN), which enables a flexible non-linear and heterogeneous configuration employing both inter and intra-layer neuronal diversity. Furthermore, we propose a robust operator search strategy inspired by the Hebbian theory, called the Synaptic Plasticity Monitoring (SPM) which can make data-driven choices for non-linearities in any architecture. An extensive set of comparative evaluations of ONNs and CNNs over two severe image denoising problems yield conclusive evidence that ONNs enriched by non-linear operators can achieve a superior denoising performance against CNNs with both equivalent and well-known deep configurations.
Deep convolutional networks often append additive constant (bias) terms to their convolution operations, enabling a richer repertoire of functional mappings. Biases are also used to facilitate training, by subtracting mean response over batches of tr
aining images (a component of batch normalization). Recent state-of-the-art blind denoising methods (e.g., DnCNN) seem to require these terms for their success. Here, however, we show that these networks systematically overfit the noise levels for which they are trained: when deployed at noise levels outside the training range, performance degrades dramatically. In contrast, a bias-free architecture -- obtained by removing the constant terms in every layer of the network, including those used for batch normalization-- generalizes robustly across noise levels, while preserving state-of-the-art performance within the training range. Locally, the bias-free network acts linearly on the noisy image, enabling direct analysis of network behavior via standard linear-algebraic tools. These analyses provide interpretations of network functionality in terms of nonlinear adaptive filtering, and projection onto a union of low-dimensional subspaces, connecting the learning-based method to more traditional denoising methodology.
