A Display Simulation Toolbox for Image Quality Evaluation

59.1: Invited Paper: A Display Simulation Toolbox

The Display Simulation Toolbox (DST) is an integrated suite of software tools that help the user characterize the key properties of display devices and predict the radiance of displayed images. Assuming that pixel emissions are independent, the DST uses the sub-pixel point spread functions, spectral power distributions, and gamma curves to calculate display image radiance. For LCD displays, the...

A Toolbox for Quasirandom Simulation

In the eighteenth century, Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, proposed a novel method to estimate p—dropping a needle over and over again onto a wooden floor of parallel planks. The probability of a needle crossing a join in the floor is related to p. By counting the number of crosses, one can estimate this probability, and hence compute a value for p (see [1]). Buffon is said to have trie...

Electromembrane Processes, a Toolbox for Advanced Separations

Comparative evaluation of image quality from three CT simulation scanners

Today, radiation therapy (RT) is moving toward increased radiation dose to the tumor as a result of 3D conformal RT (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated RT (IMRT), which have been made possible by advances in volumetric-based image planning with digital imaging systems such as computed tomography (CT). Treatment planning for such RT requires superior CT image quality. Our goal in this study was to e...

GROWLab: A Toolbox for Social Simulation

GROWLab (Geographic Research on War Laboratory) is a software toolbox to facilitate the modeling, simulation, analysis, and validation of complex social processes, with a special focus on geographic conflict research. GROWLab is designed as a collection of independent software components, which is intended to bring the development of agent-based simulations to the next level of complexity and r...
