Reliable deep learning in anomalous diffusion against out-of-distribution dynamics

Published in Nature Computational Science, 2024

We present a general framework for evaluating deep-learning-based OOD dynamics-detection methods. We further develop a baseline approach that achieves robust OOD dynamics detection as well as accurate recognition of in-distribution anomalous diffusion. We demonstrate that this method enables a reliable characterization of complex behaviors across a wide range of experimentally diverse systems.

Compressive confocal microscopy imaging at the single-photon level with ultra-low sampling ratios

Published in Communications Engineering, 2024

We build a novel deep compressive confocal microscope (DCCM). Combined with a deep learning reconstruction algorithm (DCCM-Net), our DCCM is able to achieve high-quality confocal microscopic imaging with low phototoxicity. Our imaging experiments with fluorescent microspheres demonstrate its capability of achieving single-pixel confocal imaging with a sampling ratio of only approximately 0.05%. In the prototype of our DCCM system, the imaging rates can achieve up to 833 fps and 13.65 megapixel/s.

Deep learning-enhanced snapshot hyperspectral confocal microscopy imaging system

Published in Optics Express, 2024

We propose a snapshot hyperspectral confocal microscopic imaging system (SHCMS). It combined coded illumination microscopy based on a digital micromirror device (DMD) with a snapshot hyperspectral confocal neural network (SHCNet) to realize single-shot confocal hyperspectral imaging. With SHCMS, high-contrast 160-band confocal hyperspectral images of potato tuber autofluorescence can be collected by only single-shot, which is almost 5 times improvement in the number of spectral channels than previously reported methods.

Deep learning-enhanced single-molecule spectrum imaging

Published in APL Photonics, 2023

A deep learning-enhanced single-molecule spectrum imaging method (SpecGAN) for improving the single-molecule spectrum imaging efficiency. With SpecGAN, the super-resolution spectrum image of the COS-7 membrane can be reconstructed with merely 12,000 frames of single-molecule localization images, which is almost half of the previously reported frame count for spectrally resolved super-resolution imaging.
