Tomographic reconstruction from experimentally obtained cone-beam projections

Direct reconstruction in three dimensions for two-dimensional projection data has been achieved by cone-beam reconstruction techniques. In this paper explicit formulas for a cone-beam convolution and back-projection reconstruction algorithm are given in a form which can be easily coded for a computer. The algorithm is justified by analyzing tomographic reconstructions of a uniformly attenuating sphere from simulated noisy projection data. A particular feature of this algorithm is the use of a one-dimensional rather than two-dimensional convolution function, greatly speeding up the reconstruction. The technique is applicable however large the cone angle of data capture and correctly reduces to the pure fan-beam reconstruction technique in the central section of the cone. The method has been applied to data captured on a cone-beam CT scanner designed for bone mineral densitometry.     

A new class of detail-preserving filters for image processing

A new class of median type filters for image processing is proposed. In the filters, linear FIR substructures are used in conjunction with the median operation. The root signals and noise attenuation properties of the FIR-median hybrid filters are analyzed and compared to representative edge preserving filtering operations. The concept of multilevel median operation is introduced to improve the detail preserving property of conventional median and the FIR-median hybrid filters. In the multilevel filters there exists a tradeoff between noise attenuation and detail preservation. The analysis and examples indicate that FIR-median hybrid filters preserve details better and are computationally much more efficient than the conventional median and the K-nearest neighbor averaging filters.     

Computation of surface orientation and structure of objects using grid coding

In this correspondence, algorithms are introduced to infer surface orientation and structure of visible object surfaces using grid coding. We adopt the active lighting technique to spatially ``encode' the scene for analysis. The observed objects, which can have surfaces of arbitrary shape, are assumed to rest on a plane (base plane) in a scene which is ``encoded' with light cast through a grid plane. Two orthogonal grid patterns are used, where each pattern is obtained with a set of equally spaced stripes marked on a glass pane. The scene is observed through a camera and the object surface orientation is determined using the projected patterns on the object surface. If the surfaces under consideration obey certain smoothness constraints, a dense orientation map can be obtained through proper interpolation. The surface structure can then be recovered given this dense orientation map. Both planar and curved surfaces can be handled in a uniform manner. The algorithms we propose yield reasonably accurate results and are relatively tolerant to noise, especially when compared to shape-from-shading techniques. In contrast to other grid coding techniques reported which match the grid junctions for depth reconstruction under the stereopsis principle, our techniques use the direction of the projected stripes to infer local surface orientation and do not require any correspondence relationship between either the grid lines or the grid junctions to be specified. The algorithm has the ability to register images and can therefore be embedded in a system which integrates knowledge from multiple views.

CrMoV钢时效前热处理对磷在晶界偏析的影响

含有0.04wt-％P的汽轮机转子用CrMoV钢,时效前在较高温度(600和570℃)进行预时效处理,然后在480℃时效,元素磷偏析到晶界的速度比没有经过预时效处理的钢快得多。这与预时效过程中碳化物析出,基体成分改变有关。Mo可抑制磷的偏析,但因时效过程中富Mo碳化物的生成和长大,使基体中Mo的含量降低,因此,磷从Mo的“束缚”下“解放”出来并偏析到晶界,使脆性转变温度升高,此外,碳化物的粗化也可能导致脆性转变温度升高。
