Analysis of HRTEM images for carbon nanostructure quantification

Image processing algorithms have been developed to extract fringe length, tortuosity and separation from high resolution transmission electron microscopy images. To validate the separation algorithm, a comparison is made between the image-based fringe separation and that obtained by analysis of X-ray diffraction data for a progressively heat-treated carbon black. Agreement is favorable. To illustrate the utility of the analysis parameters for a range of carbon nanostructures, analysis is applied to a series of pyrolytically prepared carbon soots – qualitatively described as containing amorphous, graphitic or fullerenic nanostructure. For all processing, the intermediate image, in the form of a skeletonized binary image of the original high resolution transmission electron micrograph, is shown and found to accurately reflect the nanostructural organization within the carbon as visually observed. Statistical results for each analysis parameter, extracted from the binary images, are presented in the form of histograms and quantitatively distinguish the different carbon nanostructures.     

用雅可比-傅里叶矩进行图像描述

提出了雅可比—傅里叶矩,它是用雅可比多项式作为径向函数,用傅里叶因子作为角向函数构造而成的,是广义正交傅里叶—梅林矩。经过归一化处理后的雅克比—傅立叶矩具有平移、尺度、旋转、灰度多畸不变性。从归一化图像重建误差、噪声灵敏度等方面对雅可比—傅里叶矩的图像描述能力进行了研究,结果显示雅可比—傅里叶矩在各种参量选择的情况下,具有良好的图像描述和抗噪声能力,是一个优良的图像特征。以前的研究多为单纯构建某一个函数,而现在将其扩展为构建一个函数族,开阔了矩描述量的研究视野。     

改进的Zernike矩工业CT图像边缘检测

为提高工业计算机断层扫描(CT)图像亚像素边缘检测的精度和速度,研究了一种改进的Zernike矩边缘检测方法。该方法采用Sobel边缘算子快速检测出图像所有可能的边缘,通过Zernike矩算子对所有可能的边缘进行重新检测,最后,检测出图像的亚像素边缘并计算其精确位置。由于采用Sobel算子检测出可能的边缘使后续Zernike矩算子检测范围缩小,从而减小了运算量,提高了运算速度。对实际CT图像进行的实验结果表明:改进的Zernike矩工业CT图像边缘检测精度绝对误差<0.24 pixel,改进算法的运算速度提高了约70%。

Watermarks encrypted in the cascaded Fresnel digital hologram

A cascaded Fresnel digital hologram (CFDH) is proposed, together with its mathematical derivation. Its application to watermarking has been demonstrated by a simulation procedure, in which the watermark image to be hidden is encoded into the phase of the host image. The watermark image can be deciphered by the CFDH setup, the reconstructed image shows good quality and the error is almost closed to zeros. Compared with previous technique, this is a lensless architecture, which minimizes the hardware requirement.     

Optimal control in NMR spectroscopy: Numerical implementation in SIMPSON

We present the implementation of optimal control into the open source simulation package SIMPSON for development and optimization of nuclear magnetic resonance experiments for a wide range of applications, including liquid- and solid-state NMR, magnetic resonance imaging, quantum computation, and combinations between NMR and other spectroscopies. Optimal control enables efficient optimization of NMR experiments in terms of amplitudes, phases, offsets etc. for hundreds-to-thousands of pulses to fully exploit the experimentally available high degree of freedom in pulse sequences to combat variations/limitations in experimental or spin system parameters or design experiments with specific properties typically not covered as easily by standard design procedures. This facilitates straightforward optimization of experiments under consideration of rf and static field inhomogeneities, limitations in available or desired rf field strengths (e.g., for reduction of sample heating), spread in resonance offsets or coupling parameters, variations in spin systems etc. to meet the actual experimental conditions as close as possible. The paper provides a brief account on the relevant theory and in particular the computational interface relevant for optimization of state-to-state transfer (on the density operator level) and the effective Hamiltonian on the level of propagators along with several representative examples within liquid- and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Retrieval of water cloud characteristic from active sensor data using the analytical solution of radiative transfer equation

An analytical forward model and numerical algorithm for retrieving the parameters of water cloud of earth atmosphere from optical measurements carried out by satellite-based lidars is presented. The forward model, based on the analytical solution of the radiative transfer equation, is used to fit the temporal profile of the laser light pulses backscattered from the cloud layers. The cloud parameters extracted from the analysis at each position on earth include the transport mean free path, the average radius of water drops, the density of drops, the scattering length, the scattering cross section, the anisotropy factor, and the altitude of top level of major clouds. Also estimated is the possible thickness of cloud layers. The efficacy of the approach is demonstrated by generating parameters of water cloud using the data collected by NASA's cloud-aerosol lidar and infrared pathfinder satellite observations (CALIPSO) satellite when it passed through North America on August 7, 2007.
