Images

The dataset includes 218 simulated Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) images of 20 different binary and grayscale objects with various rotations. The images are available in noise-free version as well as with 20 dB white Gaussian noise. The DIC point spread function is also included.

Ground Truth 

The images that were used for DIC image generation are provided as ground truth images. The ground truth images are the same for the noise-free and noisy DIC images. The suggested metric for measuring a DIC reconstruction algorithm's accuracy is the Mean Squared Error (MSE) value between the corresponding reconstructed and ground truth image.
