Abstract

Speckle contrast analysis had been used for multiples purposes, for instance, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) has been used to estimate the relative blood flow speed in a non-invasive way. The speckle contrast can be calculated using a spatial or temporal algorithm or a combination of both. Our work focuses into the contrast temporal algorithm. A contrast image calculated with the temporal contrast algorithm requires a sequence of L equal-sized frames. The contrast images are performed pixel by pixel, however, the experimental contrast calculation does not match with the current temporal theoretical model especially when the exposure time T is smaller than the correlation time τ_c. In this work, we propose to correlate neighboring pixels along the temporal axis to improve the contrast calculation. The contrast measurements using our proposal provide a better agreement than the current models.
