Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for generating resolution-enhanced space-domain image of a target sample based on optical coherent tomography (OCT) imaging technologies are disclosed. In an aspect, a system includes a processing platform comprising one or more processing devices operatively coupled to one or more memory devices. The processing platform is configured to acquire a plurality of related sets of optical coherence tomography (OCT) image data for a target object volume, reconstruct space-domain OCT images for each of the plurality of sets of OCT image data, coherently average the reconstructed space-domain OCT images to suppress noise or enhance a signal-to-noise ratio, and computationally expand a spatial bandwidth of the coherent-averaged OCT image data via deconvolution.
