In this paper a new portable Digital In-line Holography Platform for biological micro-scale imaging of sperm samples is presented. This platform is based on the shadow imaging principle, where biological samples are illuminated by a nearly coherent light source, and shadows are recorded into a CMOS imaging sensor with no lens requirement. The projected shadows present holographic signatures, storing more than bi-dimensional information of the analyzed sample. To improve resolution and suppress noise of the acquired holograms, a multi-frame technique based on high-dynamic range imaging combined with summation of consecutive frames over time was used. Finally, decoding of holograms is performed by an efficient and fast phase-recovery method, where morphological details of the sample can be obtained similarly a conventional bright-field microscopy image. From an image formation point of view, the proposed portable approach is able to visualize biological samples in high synthetic numerical aperture values with a spatial resolution of 1-2 mu m on a field-of-view of approximate to 30 mm(2). This field-of-view is consistently bigger than a conventional microscope imaged area with no mosaic reconstruction, and the achieved resolution is obtained using a single illumination source with no moving parts, array of LEDs or sift of the light source. Validation of the proposed portable approach was performed using various human samples, where conventional microscopy was used for confirmation purposes.

This paper presents a parallel implementation of the Inverse Fast Multipole Method (IFMM) for multi-bistatic imaging configurations. NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is used to parallelize and accelerate the imaging algorithm in a graphicsprocessing Unit (GPU). The algorithm is validated with experimental data, collected by a Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system operating in the 70-77 GHz frequency band. The proposed GPU-based IFMM algorithm accelerated the single-core CPU version by a factor of 46.

This paper describes an application for full-reference stereoscopic image quality assessment called ImQET. The application was developed using Mono framework and C# programming language. ImQET is independent of platform and provides a friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). The stereoscopic image signals used in the application are based in a two-view model. ImQET has objective image quality algorithms such as PSNR, SSIM, and PW-SSIM and also incorporates a recently published technique for stereoscopic image quality assessment called Disparity Weighting (DW). Numerical results corresponding to the performance of the objective measurements, which were obtained using the proposed application, are presented. ImQET can be used by academia and industry for standardization and development of objective algorithms and evaluation of impairments in stereoscopic image signals caused by processing techniques.
