| Sumario: | In this paper, we use Frame Theory to develop a generalized OCT image reconstruction method using redundant and non-uniformly spaced frequency domain samples that includes using non-redundant and uniformly spaced samples as special cases. We also correct an important theoretical error in the previously reported results related to OCT image reconstruction using the Non-uniform Discrete Fourier Transform (NDFT). Moreover, we describe an efficient method to compute our corrected reconstruction transform, i.e., a <i>scaled</i> NDFT, using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Finally, we demonstrate different advantages of our generalized OCT image reconstruction method by achieving (1) theoretically corrected OCT image reconstruction directly from non-uniformly spaced frequency domain samples; (2) a novel OCT image reconstruction method with a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) using redundant frequency domain samples. Our new image reconstruction method is an improvement of OCT technology, so it could benefit all OCT applications. |
