Abstract
During scan capture with an OCT imaging system, the focal plane position can be simultaneously shifted over at least a portion of an image range. As a result, a plurality of image frames respectively corresponding to various focal plane positions is acquired. The image frames can be combined to generate a composite image having suitable resolution throughout the image range, including regions associated with weak-intensity or low-reflectance features. Further, windowed averaging can be performed prior to generation of the composite image so that the composite image incorporates weights given to image data in focus.
