Most full-field microscopes at synchrotrons exhibit a highly peaked illumination in the center of the field of view for stationary condenser and objective optics. This illumination pattern is typically reference-corrected by division with an image without the sample to correct for the uneven illumination. However, this correction does not rectify problems such as the poor signal-to-noise ratio ...

The non-uniformity is a time-dependent noise caused by the lack of sensor equalization. We present here the detailed algorithm and online demo of the non-uniformity correction method by midway infrared equalization. This method was designed to suit infrared images. Nevertheless, it can be applied to images produced for example by scanners, or by push-broom satellites. This single image method w...

Introduction: One of the major causes of image non-uniformity in MRI is due to the existence of  non-homogeneity in RF receive and transmit. This can be the most effective source of error in  quantitative  studies  in  MRI  imaging.  Part  of  this  non-homogeneity  demonstrates  the  characteristics of RF coil and part of it is due to the interaction of RF field with the material being  imaged...

Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...

Roasting is among the most common methods of nut processing causing physical and chemical changes and ultimately increasing overall acceptance of the product. In this research, the effects of temperature (90, 120 ,and 150°C), time (20, 35 ,and 50 min) ,and roasting air velocity (0.5, 1.5 ,and 2.5 m/s) on gravimetrical properties of pistachio nuts and kernels including unit mass, true density, o...

in nuclear medicine, there are two methods of imaging, planar and tomography. single photon emission computerized tomography (spect) shows better image details and therefore is influenced more by image parameters such as resolution, uniformity, sensitivity, etc. manufacturers provide customers with data which are obtained by complicated and sometimes secret methods. marketing companies test and...

The main aim of this contribution is comparison of method for evaluation of nonwovens surface uniformity based on the data in the form of rectangular arrays (quadrat method). These data can be obtained from digital images where the variation of mass is characterizes by the variation of grey level image. The evaluation of uniformity is based on the variation coefficient model, ANOVA model and sp...

We image semiflexible polymer networks under shear at the micrometer scale. By tracking embedded probe particles, we determine the local strain field, and directly measure its uniformity, or degree of affineness, on scales of 2-100 microm. The degree of nonaffine strain depends upon the polymer length and cross-link density, consistent with theoretical predictions. We also find a direct corresp...

The objective of the present paper is to describe a pattern recognition approach for image segmentation. First, in the introduction, we describe the general aspects of uniformity and texture recognition. Then we provide a mean-based feature extraction approach for uniformity analysis and a moment-based one for texture analysis. In the classification stage we propose both supervised and also uns...
