Tóm tắt

Applies numerical image enhancement methods to THz time-domain spectroscopy images in order to improve the quality of experimental data suffering from low resolution and finite focus diameter aperture effects. As an example, the level of detail in a biomedical image of a histopathological sample is shown to increase significantly.
