The visual quality of images and videos is significantly degraded by atmospheric particles such as smoke and dust, leading to the haze problem, which is characterized by low contrast and a whitish veil obscuring the content. Dehazing techniques have been developed to mitigate these effects and restore sharp, visually appealing imagery. This paper presents an enhanced dehazing approach, referred to as the Enhanced DehazeFormer technique, which integrates both preprocessing and dehazing stages to produce high-quality dehazed images. The proposed method incorporates a three-step preprocessing phase aimed at reducing noise and enhancing dynamic range, issues commonly introduced by measurement device errors and other external factors. Prior to dehazing, each image or video frame undergoes homomorphic filtering, followed by Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and a fast dehazing algorithm to further improve visual quality. The dehazing stage utilizes an extended and customized Swin Transformer architecture, known as DehazeFormer, which is tailored specifically for haze removal tasks. The preprocessed frames are input into the modified Swin Transformer to generate dehazed outputs of superior visual quality. The proposed technique is thoroughly evaluated on visible images, Near-Infrared (NIR) frames, and real-world hazy datasets to assess its effectiveness. Evaluation metrics include entropy, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Feature Similarity Index (FSIM), Feature Similarity Index Chromatic (FSIMC), edge intensity, average gradient, and correlation, all of which are used to quantitatively measure dehazing performance. Furthermore, histograms and spectral entropy analyses are employed to compare the proposed method against other dehazing techniques. A comparative analysis is conducted using five frames from each type of visible and NIR videos to assess the performance of the baseline DehazeFormer and the enhanced DehazeFormer technique.

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) is a powerful technique that measures the decay time of fluorophores present in tissue samples alluding to their constituent molecules. FLIM has gained popularity in biomedical imaging for applications such as detecting cancerous tumors, surgical guidance, etc. However, conventional FLIM systems are limited by a reduced number of spectral bands and long acquisition time. Moreover, the large footprint, complexity, and cost of the instrumentation make it difficult for clinical applications. In this paper, we demonstrate a reconstruction-based hyperspectral detector that can resolve decay time and intensities in broad spectral ranges while providing high sensitivity, high gain, and fast response time. The hyperspectral detector is comprised of an array of efficient, ultrafast avalanche photodetectors integrated with nanophotonic structures. We utilize different nanostructures in the detectors to modulate light-matter interactions in spectral channels. This allows us to computationally reconstruct the spectral profile of the incoming fluorescence spectrum without the need for additional filters or dispersive optics. Also, the nanophotonic structures enhance efficiency (by a factor of 2 to 10 over different wavelengths) while providing fast response time. An innovative detector design has been employed to reduce the breakdown of the avalanche photodetectors to-7.8V while maintaining high gain (∼50) across the spectral range. Therefore, enabling low light detection with a high signal-To-noise ratio for FLIM applications. Added spectral channels would provide valuable information about tissue materials, morphology, and disease diagnosis. Such innovative hyperspectral sensors can now be integrated on-chip capable of miniaturizing the FLIM system and making it a commercially viable tool for clinical use. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the current FLIM system with improved detection capabilities opening doors for new ho
