An investigation of extended depth-of-field camera with optimized phase mask and digital restoration is presented. The goal of this paper is to implement the wavefront coding technique without affecting much of the original design, and the design has taken the complexity of imaging system into consideration. The optimized strength of cubic phase mask (CPM) is based on the analytical optimal solution for the task-based imaging system [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 25, 1064 (2008)]. The noisy intermediate images of CPM system with highest spatial frequency of interest can be effectively restored by vector-based Richardson-Lucy algorithm. Restoration from the system with generalized CPM produces precise image position than the system with CPM does. In general, the CPM system procures modulation transfer function higher than 0.195 in the whole depth-of-field, and the mean squared error of the restored images are less than 5 %.

Wavefront coding technique includes a phase mask of asymmetric phase mask kind in the pupil plane to extend the depth of field of an imaging system and the digital processing step to obtain the restored final high-quality image. However, the main drawback of wavefront coding technique is image artifacts on the restored final images. In this paper, we proposed a parameter blind-deconvolution method based on maximizing of the variance of the histogram of restored final images that enables to obtain the restored final image with artifact-free over a large range of defocus.

This paper presents the development of a new, fully digital image processing system for a field emission SEM (FE-SEM) which can eliminate fluctuations in the emission current. The system can display, in real time, images with 1280 × 1024 pixels on a viewing CRT, allowing direct observation of high definition SEM images on the FE-SEM.In the past, even though image was acquired and recorded (photographed) with the resolution higher than 1,000 x 1,000 pixels, it was generally observed on the viewing CRT at the resolution of only about 500 x 500 pixels for real-time observation. This created a difference in image quality between the two CRT's. Using a CRT of the same pixel resolution for observation as on the recording CRT, the difference in image quality can be minimised, provided that the characteristics (speed and resolution) of the image processing and scan generator system are improved and optimised for digital processing.
