Abstract:Optical imaging based on intrinsic signals is a novel technique for brain functional imaging, which can help researchers explore the brain function more effectively because of its high spatial resolution, simple structure and long-time in-vivo recording. However, the functional signals recorded by the optical imaging based on intrinsic signals are usually quite weak, it is very necessary to investigate appropriate image processing methods to improve the SNR. This article reviewed the research progress of the image processing methods in optical imaging based on intrinsic signals. After introducing the traditional image processing methods, we mainly introduced some novel image processing approaches including principal component analysis, independent component analysis, local similarity minimization, receiver operating characteristic curve and indicator function. It has been demonstrated that the novel image processing methods can effectively improve the image quality.
