Abstract

We present directional filtering and coherence-enhancing diffusion (CED) as well as two-dimensional quadrature demodulation for analysis of single frame retardation images, acquired with polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). We compare different denoising techniques applied to stress-induced PS-OCT images and the influence of selected pre-processing methods on the demodulation results.
