چکیده

A thin, agile multiresolution, computational imaging sensor architecture, termed PANOPTES (processing arrays of Nyguist-limited observations to produce a thin electro-optic sensor), which utilizes arrays of microelectromechanical mirrors to adaptively redirect the fields of view of multiple low-resolution subimagers, is described. An information theory-based algorithm adapts the system and restores the image. The modulation transfer function (MTF) effects of utilizing micromirror arrays to steering imaging systems are analyzed, and computational methods for combining data collected from systems with differing MTFs are presented.

Adaptive beamforming in row-column addressed arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging

In recent years, to reduce the complexity of implementation, the use of 2D arrays with restricted row-column addressing has been considered for 3D ultrasound imaging. In this paper, two methods of adaptive beamforming based on the minimum variance method are represented in such a way that the computational load is much less than using the full adaptive beamforming method. In both proposed metho...

Chapter 8 DISPLAY AND IMAGING SYSTEMS

MOEMS technology combining MEMS and micro-optics is well suited for manipulating light. A number of different ways can be envisioned to scan, steer, or modulate light beams using tiny electromechanical structures. MEMS mirrors or microlens arrays can be used to change the light beam propagation direction for scanning or modulating the beam, and diffraction gratings, optical choppers, or microin...

The CFD Provides Data for Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy to Model the Heat Transfer in Flat and Discontinuous Fins

In the present study, Adaptive Neuro–Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) approach was applied for predicting the heat transfer and air flow pressure drop on flat and discontinuous fins. The heat transfer and friction characteristics were experimentally investigated in four flat and discontinuous fins with different geometric parameters including; fin length (r), fin interruption (s), fin pitch (p), ...
