Performance evaluation of a very high resolution small animal PET imager using silicon scatter detectors

2007

A very high resolution positron emission tomography (PET) scanner for small animal imaging based on the idea of inserting a ring of high-granularity solid-state detectors into a conventional PET scanner is under investigation. A particularly interesting configuration of this concept, which takes the form of a degenerate Compton camera, is shown capable of providing sub-millimeter resolution with good sensitivity. We present a Compton PET system and estimate its performance using a proof-of-concept prototype. A prototype single-slice imaging instrument was constructed with two silicon detectors 1 mm thick, each having 512 1.4 mm x 1.4 mm pads arranged in a 32 x 16 array. The silicon detector…

Impacts of wood extraction on soil: assessing rutting and soil compaction caused by skidding and forwarding by means of traditional and innovative me…

2021

AbstractIntensive forestry operations may cause soil compaction, plastic soil disturbances and rutting, which are responsible for undesirable effects on soils, vegetation and water bodies. Despite the numerous studies aimed to identify the main factors affecting soil damages, it still remains unclear whether wood extraction methods and driving direction (uphill or downhill) may affect the impacts of forest machines. This research analyses soil compaction and soil penetration resistance as well as rutting from forwarding and skidding using the same farm tractor in up- and downhill wood extraction. Rutting was estimated by 3D soil reconstruction derived by portable laser scanning (PLS) and cl…

I Telamoni del Tempio di Zeus ad Agrigento: rilievi, disegni e ricostruzioni

2013

Oggetto dello studio qui presentato è la ricostruzione di un intercolumnio del fronte esterno del Tempio di Zeus ad Agrigento, basata sul rilievo del Telamone oggi custodito presso il Museo Archeologico, sugli studi e i numerosi saggi di ricostruzione proposti dagli studiosi dal XVIII secolo fino alla metà dello scorso secolo e sulla analisi strutturale del Telamone ricostruito nel Museo. The drawings of the telamones, the giant statues placed the front of the Temple of Zeus in the archaeological area of Agrigento, have fascinated some of the most famous neoclassical architects in Europe. The virtual reconstruction of one intercolumnial of the Temple, based both on the range-based survey of…

Ricostruire e rappresentare:tre casi studio

2013

L’integrazione tra gli studi di storia dell’architettura e le discipline del rilievo e della rappresentazione oggi ha raggiunto uno sviluppo notevole, e gli strumenti tecnologici a disposizione della ricerca si sono rivelati spesso fondamentali per la ricostruzione virtuale di architetture ormai perdute, trasformate nel corso dei secoli, o, addirittura, mai costruite. Le ricostruzioni virtuali proposte in questo contributo interessano, rispettivamente, le facciate di tre chiese siciliane: il santuario della Madonna della Consolazione a Termini Imerese, in provincia di Palermo, virtualmente ricostruita a partire da un disegno di progetto; il prospetto della chiesa Madre, oggi diruta, di Sala…

Metodi integrati di rilievo per il monitoraggio di eventi franosi

2018

Il contributo riguarda il rilievo di un’area di circa 20 ettari interessata da una imponente frana e ubicata nei pressi del centro abitato di Caronia in Sicilia. La frana ha provocato il crollo e lo spostamento di diverse unità abitative, nonché la quasi totale distruzione delle vie carrabili. Il rilievo è stato condotto con metodi GPS, topografici e laser scanner al fine di verificare la morfologia dell’area successiva all’evento franoso. Il rilievo è stato commissionato dalla Protezione Civile Regionale di Messina ed è stato finalizzato alla programmazione degli interventi di consolidamento del terreno in particolare nelle aree prossime all’edificato. Dalla nuvola di punti generata dalle …

Restauri digitali

2016

Il restauro dell’antico è una pratica intimamente legata alla stessa codificazione del termine “antico”; la determinazione di una distanza irreparabilmente incolmabile tra il tempo presente e quello trascorso, la nozione romantica di un passato glorioso per sempre perduto e di una grandezza ormai inaccessibile, la conseguente codificazione dei neo-stili, ha stimolato la nascita degli studi scientifici delle eredità materiali del passato e il desiderio di ricostruire la forma perduta degli edifici e degli spazi urbani. In questa sede si cercherà di avvalorare la tesi che l’introduzione di nuovi strumenti non abbia solamente semplificato consolidati approcci, ma piuttosto abbia offerto nuove …

Finding Possible Weakness in the Runoff Simulation Experiments to Assess Rill Erosion Changes without Non-Intermittent Surveying Capabilities

2020

The Terrestrial Photogrammetry Scanner (TEPHOS) offers the possibility to precisely monitor linear erosion features using the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique. This is a static, multi-camera array and dynamically moves the digital videoframe camera designed to obtain 3-D models of rills before and after the runoff experiments. The main goals were to (1) obtain better insight into the rills

A method to estimate soil moisture from Airborne Hyperspectral Scanner (AHS) and ASTER data: Application to SEN2FLEX and SEN3EXP campaigns

2012

Abstract In this paper the soil moisture is estimated at airborne level and at satellite level by combining remotely sensed images with in situ measurements. At airborne level we process high-resolution images acquired with the Airborne Hyperspectral Scanner (AHS) sensor, and at satellite level we compute images acquired with the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). The study has been accomplished in the framework of two field campaigns in the Barrax region (Spain): the SEN2FLEX (SENtinel-2 and FLuorescence EXperiment) campaign which was developed in July of 2005 and the SEN3EXP (Sentinel-3 Experiment) campaign which was carried out in June of 2009. The me…

Three-Dimensional Separation and Characterization of Fractures in X-Ray Computed Tomographic Images of Rocks

2020

Open fractures can affect petrophysical properties of their host rock masses, as well as fluid transport and storage, so characterization of them is important to both industrial and research scientists. X-ray Computed Tomography (CT), a non-destructive technique for 3D imaging of various materials, shows such fractures well in rock samples. However, separation and characterization of fractures in CT data is complicated when a scanned sample contains narrow and intersecting fractures, because narrow fractures become blurred when thinner than the scanner resolution and their value approximates the one of the matrix, and because intersecting features are difficult to individually characterize.…
