  • In this paper, an efficient algorithm to estimate the volume and surface area from ultrasonic imaging and a reconstruction algorithm to generate three-dimensional graphics are presented. The computing efficiency is Improved by using the graph theory and the algorithm to determine proper contour points is performed by applying several tolerances. The search for contour points is limited by the change in curvature in order to provide an efficient search of the minimum cost path. These algorithms are applied to a selected mathematical model of ellipsoid. The results show that the measured value of the volume and surface area for the tolerances of 1.0005, 1.001 and 1.002 approximate to the measured values for the tolerance of 1.000 resulting in small errors. The reconstructed 3-dimensional Images are sparse and consist of larger triangular tiles between two cross sections as tolerance is increased.

  • Moir$\acute{e}$s are a natural interference phenomenon which occurs whenever a transparent regular pattern plate is overlapped on another regular pattern plate. In the contact-type 3 dimensional imaging systems, the moires are inherent because an image display panel is seen through a viewing zone forming optical plate. The mathematical analysis of moires in the systems shows that they can be minimized by the proper selection of overlapping angles between them. The angle is different for pixels with different aspect ratios.

  • To show a retina shape and thickness on the computer monitor, a laser has been used in Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope(SLO) equipment using the travelling difference. This method requires exact synchronous control of laser travelling in optic system to show a clear 3-dimensional image of retina. To obtain this image, this exact synchronism is very important for making the perfect plane scanning. In this study, a synchronous control of the galvanometer to make 3-dimensional retina image is presented. For the more, a very simple mathematical model of the galvanometer is approved by experimental result.

  • Compressive sensing (CS) is a novel sampling paradigm that samples signals in a much more efficient way than the established Nyquist sampling theorem. CS has recently gained a lot of attention due to its exploitation of signal sparsity. Sparsity, an inherent characteristic of many natural signals, enables the signal to be stored in few samples and subsequently be recovered accurately, courtesy of CS. This article gives a brief background on the origins of this idea, reviews the basic mathematical foundation of the theory and then goes on to highlight different areas of its application with a major emphasis on communications and network domain. Finally, the survey concludes by identifying new areas of research where CS could be beneficial.

  • Confocal scanning microscopy (CSM) is an important instrument in a wide variety of imaging applications because of its ability to provide three-dimensional images of thick, volume specimens. The mechanism for two-dimensional beam scanning and optical sectioning has an important roe in CSM as the three-dimensional profiler. This optical sectioning property arises from the use of a point detector, which serves to attenuate the signals from out-of-focus. The intensity profile for the open loop scanning should be matched with its response for the standard. The non-linearity can be minimized with the optical sectioning or the optical probe of the closed loop control. This paper shows the mathematical expression of the light such as the extinction curve in the optical fields of system using AO deflector, the axial/lateral response experimentally when the error sources change, and the methods of optical sectioning. Thorough design of optical sectioner is crucial to the success of CSM in the field ...

  • Statistical image reconstruction methods have played an important role in emission computed tomography (ECT) since they accurately model the statistical noise associated with gamma-ray projection data. Although the use of statistical methods in clinical practice in early days was of a difficult problem due to high per-iteration costs and large numbers of iterations, with the development of fast algorithms and dramatically improved speed of computers, it is now inevitably becoming more practical. Some statistical methods are indeed commonly available from nuclear medicine equipment suppliers. In this paper, we first describe a mathematical background for statistical reconstruction methods, which includes assumptions underlying the Poisson statistical model, maximum likelihood and maximum a posteriori approaches, and prior models in the context of a Bayesian framework. We then review a recent progress in developing fast iterative algorithms.

  • We propose a vector analysis for designing multimode-interference power splitters, which can show an arbitrary splitting ratio. Power splitting is a fundamental characteristic in integrated optical circuits and its value would be multiplied for many applications if the splitting ratio could be selected freely. Since the vector analysis utilizes a graphical method based on the previously-reported mathematical results of multimode interference, it shows an excellent advantage especially for designing power splitters with an arbitrary splitting ratio.

  • For seismic imaging and inversion, the inverted image depends on how we define the objective function. ${\ell}^1$-norm is more robust than ${\ell}^2$-norm. However, it is difficult to apply the Newton-type algorithm directly because the partial derivative for ${\ell^1$-norm has a singularity. In our paper, to overcome the difficulties of singularities, Huber function given by hybrid ${\ell}^1/{\ell}^2$-norm is used. We tested the robustness of our new object function with several noisy data set. Numerical results show that the new objective function is more robust to band limited spiky noise than the conventional object function.

  • Lots of physical phenomena which deteriorate the faithfulness of radiological images exist. The most common types of degradation are a loss of resolution and an increase in noise. This article deals with resolution. factors that influence it. and its characterisation. The problem of resolution failure due to a generic blurring phenomenum is described diagramatically and mathematically. for both one dimensional and two dimensional signals. The definition of the point spread function. the line spread function. the convolution integral and the modulation transfer function are made. The concept of frequency domain operations using the Fourier Transform is also discussed.

  • The objective of this paper is to present a digital method for improving the lateral resolution of the B-scan images in the medical applications of ultrasound. The method is based upon a mathematical model of the lateral blurring caused by the finite beam width of the transducers. This model provides a simple method of applying a recursive scheme for image restoration with fast computation time. The point spread function (P.S.F.) can be measured by the reflective signals after scanning the small pins located along the depth of interest. From the measured P.S.F., one can compute the coefficient matrices of the inverse discrete-time dynamic state variable equation of the blurring process. Then, a recursive scheme for deblurring is applied to the recorded B-scan to improve the lateral resolution. One major advantage of the present recursive scheme over the transform method is in its applicability for the space-variant imaging, such as in the case of the rotational movement of transducer.
