    Optical cryptography with biometrics for multi-depth objects
    Yan, Aimin; Wei, Yang; Hu, Zhijuan; Zhang, Jingtao; Tsang, Peter Wai Ming; Poon, Ting-Chung (Springer Nature, 2017-10-11)
    We propose an optical cryptosystem for encrypting images of multi-depth objects based on the combination of optical heterodyne technique and fingerprint keys. Optical heterodyning requires two optical beams to be mixed. For encryption, each optical beam is modulated by an optical mask containing either the fingerprint of the person who is sending, or receiving the image. The pair of optical masks are taken as the encryption keys. Subsequently, the two beams are used to scan over a multidepth 3-D object to obtain an encrypted hologram. During the decryption process, each sectional image of the 3-D object is recovered by convolving its encrypted hologram (through numerical computation) with the encrypted hologram of a pinhole image that is positioned at the same depth as the sectional image. Our proposed method has three major advantages. First, the lost-key situation can be avoided with the use of fingerprints as the encryption keys. Second, the method can be applied to encrypt 3-D images for subsequent decrypted sectional images. Third, since optical heterodyning scanning is employed to encrypt a 3-D object, the optical system is incoherent, resulting in negligible amount of speckle noise upon decryption. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time optical cryptography of 3-D object images has been demonstrated in an incoherent optical system with biometric keys.

    In this research, the accuracy of image classification with Fourier Ptychography Microscopy (FPM) has been systematically investigated. Multiple linear regression shows a strong linear relationship between the results of image classification accuracy and image visual appearance quality based on PSNR and SSIM with multiple training datasets including MINST, Fashion MNIST, Cifar, Caltech 101, and customized training datasets. It is, therefore, feasible to predict the image classification accuracy only based on PSNR and SSIM. It is also found that the image classification accuracy of FPM reconstructed with higher resolution images is significantly different from using the lower resolution images under the lower numerical aperture (NA) condition. The difference is yet less pronounced under the higher NA condition.
