Radiological Assessment of Pediatric Scoliosis Patients
2021
Nosaukums: Radioloģiskais izmeklējums pediatriskiem pacientiem ar skoliozi Autore: Saara Anni Susanna Suomalainen, medicīnas studente Darba vadītājs: Dr. med. Paulis Laizāns un Dr. med. Jānis Upenieks Priekšvēsture : Skolioze ir sānu novirze, kas pārsniedz 10 grādus no normāla mugurkaula, mērot pēc rentgenogrammas, un tāpēc, ka sānu līkne ir saistīta ar skriemeļu rotāciju līknes iekšienē, rodas trīsdimensiju deformācija. Idiopātiskā skolioze bērnu populācijā ir sadalīta trīs vecuma grupās - zīdaiņu, bērnu un pusaudžu. Radiogrāfiskais novērtējums ir galīgās diagnozes pīlārs. Labi uzņemtos rentgenogrammās var novērtēt segmentācijas anomāliju raksturojumu, izliekumu veidu un to elastību, kā ar…

A combined three-dimensional digitisation and subsurface defect detection data using active infrared thermography
2016
International audience; In recent years, NonDestructive Testing (NDT) systems have been upgraded with three-dimensional information. Indeed, combine the three-dimensional and thermal information allows a more meaningful analysis. In the literature, the data for NDT and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction analysis are commonly acquired from independent systems. However, the use of two such systems leads to error analysis during the data registration. In an attempt to overcome such problems, we propose a single system based on active thermography approach using heat point-source stimulation to get the 3D digitization as well as subsurface defect detection. The experiments are conducted on s…
Neutron scattering and imaging: a tool for archaeological studies
2015
International audience; Neutron scattering and neutron imaging are powerful techniques for studying the structure of objects without damage, which is an essential prerequisite for investigations in Cultural Heritage domain, particularly in Archaeology. The deep penetration of neutrons in most materials allows for the study of relatively large objects. The contrast between similar materials, like metals in alloys, or that due to the presence of hydrogen atoms gives information about the internal structure of objects that have been modified or repaired in the past. Imaging and tomography give a 3-dimensional view of the whole object, permitting discrimination between different parts of the ob…
Sensorless control of induction motors using an extended Kalman filter and linear quadratic tracking
2017
Induction motors are the most commonly used prime-movers in industrial applications. Many induction motors supplied by frequency converters are coupled with a physical angular rotor position/velocity sensor which makes the drive complex and require maintenance. This paper presents a sensorless control structure to avoid using a physical angular rotor position/velocity sensor. The proposed method estimates and control the angular rotor velocity using optimal control theory. The optimal controller used in this paper is based on linear quadratic tracking and the states of the machine are estimated using an extended Kalman filter. Both the controller and the estimator utilize the same internal …
Computational volumetric reconstruction of integral imaging with improved depth resolution considering continuously non-uniform shifting pixels
2018
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new computational volumetric reconstruction technique of three-dimensional (3D) integral imaging for depth resolution enhancement by using non-uniform and integer-valued shifting pixels. In a typical integral imaging system, 3D images can be recorded and visualized using a lenslet array. In previous studies, many computational reconstruction techniques such as computational volumetric reconstruction and pixel of elemental images rearrangement technique (PERT) have been reported. However, a computational volumetric reconstruction technique has low visual quality and depth resolution because low-resolution elemental images and uniformly distributed shiftin…
Integral-Imaging display from stereo-Kinect capture
2017
In this paper, we propose a new approach in order to improve the quality of microimages and display them onto an integral imaging monitor. Our main proposal is based on the stereo-hybrid 3D camera system. Originally, hybrid camera system has dissimilarity itself. We interpret our method in order to equalize the hybrid sensor's characteristics and 3D data modification strategy. We generate integral image by using synthetic back-projection mapping method. Finally, we project the integral image onto our proposed display system. We illustrate this procedure with some imaging experiments in order to prove an advantage of our approach.
Stable and simple quantitative phase-contrast imaging by Fresnel biprism
2018
Digital holographic (DH) microscopy has grown into a powerful nondestructive technique for the real-time study of living cells including dynamic membrane changes and cell fluctuations in nanometer and sub-nanometer scales. The conventional DH microscopy configurations require a separately generated coherent reference wave that results in a low phase stability and a necessity to precisely adjust the intensity ratio between two overlapping beams. In this work, we present a compact, simple, and very stable common-path DH microscope, employing a self-referencing configuration. The microscope is implemented by a diode laser as the source and a Fresnel biprism for splitting and recombining the be…
B-Scan image analysis for position and shape defect definition in plates
2016
Definition of size, shape and location of defects into a mechanical component is of extreme importance in the manufacturing industry in general and particularly in high-tech applications, and in applications that can become dangerous due to the structural failure of mechanical components. In this paper, a laser-UT system has been used to define position and shape of internal defects in aluminum plates. An infrared pulsed laser is used to generate ultrasonic waves in a point of the plate and a CW laser interferometer is used as receiver to acquire the out-of-plane displacements due to the ultrasonic waves in another point of the plate. The method consists of acquiring a B-Scan map on which s…
Integral imaging with Fourier-plane recording
2017
Integral Imaging is well known for its capability of recording both the spatial and the angular information of threedimensional (3D) scenes. Based on such an idea, the plenoptic concept has been developed in the past two decades, and therefore a new camera has been designed with the capacity of capturing the spatial-angular information with a single sensor and after a single shot. However, the classical plenoptic design presents two drawbacks, one is the oblique recording made by external microlenses. Other is loss of information due to diffraction effects. In this contribution report a change in the paradigm and propose the combination of telecentric architecture and Fourier-plane recordin…
