Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging tool that has been widely utilized for various disease diagnoses for its noninvasive and high-resolution properties. Due to the dual role of speckles in the imaging process, however, OCT images suffer from the unavoidable speckle noise, which is usual...
