BSSE processing of synthetic caliber patterns with varying distances. (a, c, e) The simulated raw (left) and BSSE-processed (right) images of two lines separated by 1 pixel (a), 2 pixels (b), and 3 pixels (c), respectively. (b, d, f) The intensity profiles of the images along the corresponding lines in (a, c, e), respectively. The results show that BSSE enhances the image quality by improving the SNR of the diffraction-limited images. A distance of 2 pixels is related to the diffraction limit in practice.
