The theory of OPTICA was first proposed by Xu et al. [6]. ICA, the core of OPTICA, is a solution to the blind source separation problems, which is a class of the problems that no precise knowledge is available on neither the mixing channels nor the sources [6]. Typically the observations are the output of a set of sensors, where each sensor receives a set of mixed source signals [15]. The algorithm of OPTICA is based on that ICA of the perturbations in the spatial intensity distributions provides the corresponding independent intensity distributions (IID) on the detector planes [15]. 11.2.1 Clean Image Synthesis Fast inversion algorithms require as input the scattering field due to the sought-after targets. This scattering field is the difference between the measured intensity distribution of backscattering light and a clean image of the homogeneous host medium without any embedded targets. The image for a target-free host medium is not available in most applications and must be generated from the measured data set of the medium with targets embedded inside. Denote the recorded images I(γd, γs), where γd covers the whole 2D array (for example, γd enumerates all pixels on a CCD image) for a series of beam scanning positions at γs on the sample surface (zd = zs = 0). One crude method to obtain the image of the host medium is simply the average of all the array images after shifting the scanning position to the origin. © 2017 Pan Stanford Publishing Pte. Ltd.
