This note derives the gradients for training a deep neural network while trying to use only matrix algebra and vector calculus. It isn’t quite enough so we have to add a little more structure based on ‘tuples’, basically a list
Focus optimization in a Computational Confocal Microscope
In this report we consider the numerical optimization of performance for a computational extension of a confocal microscope. Using a system where the pinhole detector is replaced with a detector array, we seek to exploit this additional information for each
