Fast thresholded multi-channel Landweber algorithm for wavelet-regularized multi-angle deconvolution

3D deconvolution in optical wide eld microscopy aims at recovering optical sections through thick objects. Acquiring data from multiple, mutually-tilted directions helps ll the missing cone of information in the optical transfer function, which normally renders the deconvolution problem particularly ill-posed. Here, we propose a fast-converging iterative deconvolution method for multi-angle deconvolution microscopy. Specically, we formulate the imaging problem using a lter-bank structure, and present a multi-channel variation of a thresholded Landweber deconvolution algorithm with wavelet-sparsity regularization. Decomposition of the minimization problem into subband-dependent terms ensures fast convergence. We demonstrate the applicability of the algorithm via simulation results.
