Article Abstract
Purpose: To determine whether blur adaptation influences blur sensitivity and blur discrimination thresholds in young adult myopes and emmetropes. In addition, to determine whether there is a differential effect of blur adaptation on blur sensitivity and discrimination between refractive error groups.
Methods: Proximal and distal blur sensitivity thresholds and blur discrimination thresholds were measured under cycloplegia with a Badal optometer in 24 young adult subjects (8 emmetropes [EMM], 8 early-onset myopes [EOM], and 8 late-onset myopes [LOM]). Adaptation to 1 D of myopic refractive blur was then undertaken for 30 minutes. Blur sensitivity and discrimination thresholds were then remeasured.
Results: After blur adaptation, blur sensitivity, and blur discrimination thresholds were found to be elevated. Blur adaptation had a significant effect on distal blur sensitivity threshold, with the largest effect being observed in the EOMs. Mean changes in distal blur sensitivity thresholds were EMMs +0.03 +/- 0.14 D, EOMs +0.30 +/- 0.21 D, and LOMs +0.08 +/- 0.13 D.
Conclusions: Adaptation to a degraded stimulus modifies the blur detection mechanisms of the visual system in young adults. Depth of focus is expanded by prolonged exposure to defocus. EOMs are more susceptible to this phenomenon than are LOMs and EMMs.

Background And Aims: Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. However, current tests are complex, invasive, costly, and often met with low compliance. This study aimed to find whether simple clinical, noninvasive measures of the ocular accommodation function may predict the glycated hemoglobin results in type-1 diabetes mellitus.

Accurate and robust calibration of multifocal plenoptic cameras is essential for high-precision 3D light field reconstruction. In this work, we propose a blur feature-guided cascaded calibration for the plenoptic camera. First, white images at different aperture values are used to estimate the high-confidence center point and radius of micro-images, and the defocus theory is used to estimate the initial values of the intrinsic parameters.

: This study investigates whether scan time in the high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of human embryos can be reduced without compromising spatial resolution by applying zero-shot self-supervised learning (ZS-SSL), a deep-learning-based reconstruction method. : Simulations using a numerical phantom were conducted to evaluate spatial resolution across various acceleration factors (AF = 2, 4, 6, and 8) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. Resolution was quantified using a blur-based estimation method based on the Sparrow criterion.

The prevalence of myopia is increasing worldwide, accompanied by an increase of potentially under-corrected myopes. Because neural pathways are prone to adaptation in relation to the sensory input, we wondered to what extent neural contrast sensitivity (NCS) is altered in the presence of image blur arising from under-correction. No significant differences in NCS were observed between the three groups but were significantly equivalent between emmetropes, well-corrected, and under-corrected myopes (all p < 0.

However, varying light conditions in environments and modalities of observation systems introduce multi-level noises to acquired images, causing degraded image quality. Deep learning (DL) has shown great potential in improving image quality, but its performance may be limited when dealing with insufficient labeled training data and the challenges of acquiring high-quality multi-modality fluorescence images in specific biomedical tasks.
