Table 3. Values of the filtering parameters.

Commercial instrument: Coperincus Revo NX	Laboratory grade OCT setup
a) Gaussian filtering of YZ sections
• 2D window size: ΔY x ΔZ = 3 x 3 pixels → ΔY x ΔZ = 30 µm x 7.8 µm • Gaussian kernel with σ = 1 pixel	• 2D window size: ΔY x ΔZ = 3 x 3 pixels → ΔY x ΔZ = 20 µm x 2 µm • Gaussian kernel with σ = 1 pixel
b) 1-D median filtering in Z-axis
1D window size: ΔZ = 9 pixels → ΔZ = (23 µm)	1D window size: ΔZ = 9 pixels → ΔZ = (6.3 µm)
c) 2-D filtering of C-scans
a = 0.5 pixels → a = 4.7 µm c = 3.25 pixels → c = 30 µm N = 8	a = 0.5 pixels → a = 3.3 µm c = 4 pixels → c = 26.8 µm N = 8
