FLUORESCENCE LIFETIME IMAGING USING DEEP LEARNING

摘要

One embodiment provides an apparatus for fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI). The apparatus includes a deep neural network (DNN). The DNN includes a first convolutional layer, a plurality of intermediate layers and an output layer. The first convolutional layer is configured to receive FLI input data. Each intermediate layer is configured to receive a respective intermediate input corresponding to an output of a respective prior layer. Each intermediate layer is further configured to provide a respective intermediate output related to the received respective intermediate input. The output layer is configured to provide estimated FLI output data corresponding to the received FLI input data. The DNN is trained using synthetic data.
