Abstract :
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in imaging through dense random media. We cannot see through the medium with considerably high scattering coefficient, even if the light can go through the medium. This is one of the major reasons why the optical trans-body imaging and optical computerised tomography have not been realized yet. We have developed some techniques to suppress the scattering effect in the imaging through mammalian tissues. Here, we report another technique to improve the visibility through scattering random media.
