We report the use of Time Multiplexing Super Resolution (TMSR) to reduce significantly speckle noise in spectral
imaging microscopy of unstained thin blood smear samples of malaria-infected blood. The method is based on combining
speckle illumination with a moving array serving as an encoding mask. We propose the use of a new encoding mask to
improve the performance of the conventional TMSR method. The new mask is a two-dimensional generalisation of the one-
dimensional Ipatov code. The mask is projected on the object and 13 low-resolution images captured and subsequently
decoded properly using the same array. The low contrast images are added and extracted from the resulting
reconstruction, giving a super-resolved, high-contrast image. The Ipatov filter used in this work performs better than the
Barker filter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
