Adaptive Curved Slicing for En Face Imaging in Optical Coherence Tomography by Mingxin Li, Phatham Loahavilai, Yueyang Liu, Xiaochen Li, Yang Li, Liqun Sun

“…A popular technique for visualizing the top view (en face) is to slice it with flat horizontal plane or apply statistical functions along the depth axis. However, when the target appears as a thin layer, strong reflections from other layers can interfere with the target, rendering the flat-plane approach ineffective. …”
