ABSTRACT
A reflection matrix based optical coherence tomography (OCT) is recently proposed and expected to extend the imaging-depth limit twice. However, the imaging depth and hence the image quality heavily depend on the number of primary singular values considered for image reconstruction. To this regard, we propose a method based on correlation between image pairs reconstructed from different number of singular values and corresponding remainders. The obtained correlation curve and another feature curve fetched from the former are then fed to a long short-term memory (LSTM) network classifier to identify the optimized number of primary singular values for image reconstruction. Simulated targets with different combinations of filling fraction and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are reconstructed by the developed method as well as two current adopted methods for comparison. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust to recover the image with satisfactory similarity close to the reference one. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study on the optimized number of the primary singular values considered for image reconstruction in reflection matrix based OCT.
