High-Speed Tapping Mode AFM Utilizing Recovery of Tip-Sample Interaction

We propose to use the State Estimation by Sum-of-Norms Regularisation (STATESON-)algorithm for recovering the tip-sample interaction in high-speed tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). This approach enables accurate sample height estimation for each independent cantilever oscillation period, provided that the tip-sample interaction...

Particle detection using closed-loop active model diagnosis

We demonstrate a novel closed-loop input design technique on the detection of particles in an imaging system such as a fluorescence microscope. The probability of misdiagnosis is minimized while constraining the input energy such that for instance phototoxicity is reduced. The key novelty of the closed-loop design is that each next input is...

Closed-loop active object recognition with constrained illumination power

Some applications require high level of image-based classification certainty while keeping the total illumination energy as low as possible. Examples are minimally invasive visual inspection in Industry 4.0, and medical imaging systems such as computed tomography, in which the radiation dose should be kept “as low as is reasonably achievable”...
