Saliency-guided compressive fluorescence microscopy.

A novel saliency-guided approach is proposed for improving the acquisition speed of compressive fluorescence microscopy systems. By adaptively optimizing the sampling probability density based on regions of interest instead of the traditional unguided random sampling approach, the proposed saliency-guided compressive fluorescence microscopy approach can achieve high-quality microscopy images using less than half of the number of fluorescence microscopy data measurements required by existing compressive fluorescence microscopy systems to achieve the same level of quality.
