Categorical Nonuniformity

Atrioventricular nonuniformity of pericardial constraint.

Physiologists and clinicians commonly refer to "pressure" as a measure of the constraining effects of the pericardium; however, "pericardial pressure" is really a local measurement of epicardial radial stress. During diastole, from the bottom of the y descent to the beginning of the a wave, pericardial pressure over the right atrium (P(pRA)) is approximately equal to that over the right ventric...

Derivative Based Focal Plane Array Nonuniformity Correction

This paper presents a fast and robust method for fixed pattern noise nonuniformity correction of infrared focal plane arrays. The proposed method requires neither shutter nor elaborate calibrations and therefore enables a real time correction with no interruptions. Based on derivative estimation of the fixed pattern noise from pixel sized translations of the focal plane array, the proposed meth...

Nonuniformity of pericardial surface pressure in dogs.

Previously, we have shown that pericardial constraint cannot be measured by true (hydrostatic) pressure except when an excess of pericardial fluid is present and that a device such as a balloon (which reflects radial contact stress as well as hydrostatic pressure) must be used. Since radial contact stress is the major component of the constraint exerted by the pericardium when little pericardia...

Generalized algebraic scene-based nonuniformity correction algorithm.

A generalization of a recently developed algebraic scene-based nonuniformity correction algorithm for focal plane array (FPA) sensors is presented. The new technique uses pairs of image frames exhibiting arbitrary one- or two-dimensional translational motion to compute compensator quantities that are then used to remove nonuniformity in the bias of the FPA response. Unlike its predecessor, the ...
