LIGHT FIELD DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR PERFORMANCE EVENTS
A light filed (LF) display system for displaying holographic performance content (e.g., a live performance) to viewers in a venue. The LF display system in the venue includes LF display modules tiled together to form an array of LF modules. The array of LF modules create a performance volume (e.g., a stage) for displaying the performance content in the venue. The array of LF modules displays the performance content to viewers in viewing volumes. The LF display system can be included in a LF presentation network. The LF presentation network allows holographic performance content to be recorded at one location and displayed (concurrently or non-concurrently) at another location. The LF presentation network includes a network system to manage the digital rights of the holographic performance content.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING HONEYCOMB ARTIFACTS FROM OPTICAL FIBER BUNDLE IMAGES BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Provided are an apparatus and method for honeycomb artifacts removal for removing honeycomb artifacts in images received from an optical fiber imaging device through a honeycomb artifact removal model. The honeycomb artifact removal apparatus according to an embodiment includes a control unit configured to create a training dataset, build the honeycomb artifact removal model with the created training data, remove a honeycomb artifact in an input image through the built honeycomb artifact removal model and output a corrected image, wherein the control unit is configured to perform preprocessing of a raw image, acquire a honeycomb artifact image through the optical fiber imaging device, and synthesize the preprocessed raw image with the honeycomb artifact image to generate a honeycomb artifact synthesized image, and the training dataset is created by mapping the honeycomb artifact synthesized image as input data and the preprocessed raw image as output data.

In one example, an optical receiver includes a plurality of fused fiber optic bundles, at least a first fused fiber optic bundle of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles positioned to collect optical radiation from a scene, a multi-mode fiber optic cable coupled to each fused fiber optic bundle of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles, the multi-mode fiber optic cable configured to propagate the collected optical radiation from each of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles along a length of the multi-mode fiber optic cable, and a photo-detector coupled to the multi-mode fiber optic cable and configured to receive the collected optical radiation. A field of view of each fused fiber optic bundle of the plurality of fused fiber optic bundles may collectively define a substantially omnidirectional field of view of the photo-detector.

LIGHT DIFFUSION DEVICE AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT USING THE SAME
Provided is a light diffusion device capable of irradiating laser light onto a plurality of locations in a human body in a state in which a distal end portion of an optical transmission cable is placed in the human body. The light diffusion device includes an optical transmission cable including a plurality of cores, and a light refracting portion configured to refract the light emitted from each of the plurality of cores so that irradiation directions thereof are different from each other. With such a configuration, it is possible to irradiate the laser light in a plurality of directions when the distal end of the optical transmission cable is placed in the human body. Therefore, it is possible to change the location where the laser light is irradiated without extracting or re-inserting the optical transmission cable from or into the human body, thereby shortening the time required for photoimmunotherapy.

Multicore fiber imaging
The invention relates to multicore fiber imaging, such as used in endoscopy. Methods are described for processing images captured with such systems to achieve an improved depth of field image or extract 3D information concerning the images, without requiring the addition of additional optical components. One method for generating an image from light received by an imager via a multiplicity of waveguides includes receiving a digital image containing a plurality of pixels, the digital image including a plurality of regions within it wherein each of said regions corresponds to a waveguide core. Each region includes a plurality of pixels, and a first subset of pixels within each region is defined which at least partly correlates with light having been received at a corresponding core in a first spatial arrangement, the subset including less than all of the pixels within a region. A first image is generated from the first subset of pixels from said regions, combined to form an image over the whole waveguide array. The first spatial arrangement may correspond to a measure of angular dimension of the incident light for that region. In addition to increased depth of field, the modified images provided by the invention allow 3D visualisation of objects, eg. using stereographs or depth mapping techniques.
