Quantitative assessment of motion correction for high angular resolution diffusion imaging

Several methods have been proposed for motion correction of high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data. There have been few comparisons of these methods, partly due to a lack of quantitative metrics of performance. We compare two motion correction strategies using two figures of merit: displacement introduced by the motion correction and the 95% confidence interval of the cone of uncertainty of voxels with prolate tensors. What follows is a general approach for assessing motion correction of HARDI data that may have broad application for quality assurance and optimization of postprocessing protocols. Our analysis demonstrates two important issues related to motion correction of HARDI data: (1) although neither method we tested was dramatically superior in performance, both were dramatically better than performing no motion correction, and (2) iteration of motion correction can improve the final results. Based on the results demonstrated here, iterative motion correction is strongly recommended for HARDI acquisitions.     

Proposition of a compensated pixelwise calibration for photonic infrared cameras and comparison to classic calibration procedures: Case of thermoelastic stress analysis

In this paper, we propose a compensated pixelwise calibration that integrates the effects of the camera housing temperature. The results of this calibration are compared on black body images to classic two points Non Uniformity Correction based calibrations, compensated or not. It is shown that the proposed approach leads to a significant improvement in the thermal resolution with a reduction in the mean error as well as the standard deviation. The approach is finally challenged on a real case measurement focusing on thermoelasticity. The gain in terms of accuracy measurement is highlighted by comparing the proposed calibration to classic calibrations and the scope of interest of this new calibration is discussed.

Kinetics of radical‐molecule reactions in aqueous solution: A benchmark study of the performance of density functional methods

The performance of 18 density functional approximations has been tested for a very challenging task, the calculations of rate constants for radical‐molecule reactions in aqueous solution. Despite of the many difficulties involved in such an enterprise, six of them provide high quality results, and are recommended to that purpose. They are LC‐ωPBE, M06‐2X, BMK, B2PLYP, M05‐2X, and MN12SX, in that order. This trend was obtained using experimental data as reference. The other relevant aspects used in this benchmark are: (i) the SMD model for mimicking the solvent; (ii) the conventional transition state, the zero‐curvature tunneling correction, and the limit imposed by diffusion for the calculation of the rate constants. Even though changing any of these aspects might alter the trend in performance, at least, when using them, the aforementioned functionals can be successfully used to obtain high quality kinetic data for the kind of reactions investigated in this work. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An evaluation method based on absolute difference to validate the performance of SBNUC algorithms

Scene-based non-uniformity correction (SBNUC) algorithms are an important part of infrared image processing; however, SBNUC algorithms usually cause two defects: (1) ghosting artifacts and (2) over-correction. In this paper, we use the absolute difference based on guided image filter (AD-GF) method to validate the performance of SBNUC algorithms. We obtain a self-separation source using the improved guided image filter to process the input image, and use the self-separation source to obtain the space-high-frequency parts of the input image and the corrected image. Finally, we use the absolute difference between the two space-high-frequency parts as the evaluation result. Based on experimental results, the AD-GF method has better robustness and can validate the performance of SBNUC algorithms even if ghosting artifacts or over-correction occur. Also the AD-GF method can measure how SBNUC algorithms perform in the time domain, it’s an effective evaluation method for SBNUC algorithm.
