In this paper a possibility of determining a local velocity of the surface acoustic Rayleigh waves using a transducer, with the rigidly connected emitting and receiving parts, is considered. A problem on spatial resolution of such a transducer for investigation of inhomogeneous specimens is also examined. A high spatial resolution can be obtained due to the transducer displacement by a value less than the distance between the emitting and receiving parts. It is shown that in this case it is not necessary to measure the transducer displacement with a high accuracy for precise determination of the velocity. Such an effect is obtained through measuring the velocity of surface waves in one local region of the specimen with respect to the other. The criterion for optimal spatial resolution selection during spatially inhomogeneous specimens study is also proposed. The proposed criterion use is illustrated on the example of the determination of spatial distribution of the surface acoustic velocity in a steel specimen subjected to inhomogeneous plastic deformation.

The attenuating properties of biological tissue are of great importance in ultrasonic examination even though its anatomical variability limits diagnostics effectiveness. We are currently developing a technique for parametric imaging of attenuation and we intend to apply it for in vivo characterization of tissue. The diagnostic usefulness of the proposed technique crucially depends on the precision of the attenuation estimate and the resolution of the parametric image. These two parameters are highly correlated, since the resolution is reduced whenever averaging is used to minimize the errors introduced by the random character of the backscatter. Here we report on the results of numerical processing of both, simulated and recorded from a tissue-mimicking phantom echoes. We have analyzed the parameters of the estimation technique and examined their influence on the precision of the attenuation estimate and on the parametric image resolution. The optimal selection of attenuation image parameters depending on its intended diagnostic use, was also considered

In this partial review and partial attempt at vision of what may be the future of dedicated brain PET scanners, the key implementations of the PET technique, we postulate that we are still on a development path and there is still a lot to be done in order to develop optimal brain imagers. Optimized for particular imaging tasks and protocols, and also mobile, that can be used outside the PET center, in addition to the expected improvements in sensitivity and resolution. For this multi-application concept to be more practical, flexible, adaptable designs are preferred. This task is greatly facilitated by the improved TOF performance that allows for more open, adjustable, limited angular coverage geometries without creating image artifacts. As achieving uniform very high resolution in the whole body is not practical due to technological limits and high costs, hybrid systems using a moderate-resolution total body scanner (such as J-PET) combined with a very high performing brain imager could be a very attractive approach. As well, as using magnification inserts in the total body or long-axial length imagers to visualize selected targets with higher resolution. In addition, multigamma imagers combining PET with Compton imaging should be developed to enable multitracer imaging.

Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) has been used for strain and temperature measurement and health monitoring in infrastructural systems. However, the spatial measurement resolution of BOTDR cannot yet meet the measuring needs of some specific local strains, such as the strain caused by a narrow crack or fissure in structures. In this paper, a spectral decomposition method is proposed and used for improving the spatial resolution. Based on the proportion of the strain length within the spatial resolution, taking the spectrum of the strain section from the measured spectrum, and fitting the decomposed Brillouin gain spectrum with the Lorentzian curve, the actual strain within a spatial resolution along optical fibers can be obtained. The experimental results demonstrate that this method is applicable to the modification of the measured strain whether its strained length is less or greater than the spatial resolution without considering the installation method of the optical fiber

Precyzyjne wyznaczanie terenowej zdolności rozdzielczej sensorów jest kluczowym problemem przy pozyskiwaniu zobrazowań z pułapu lotniczego, zwłaszcza w ramach traktatu Open Skies. Ustalono w nim minimalną, dopuszczalną, terenową zdolność rozdzielczą dla poszczególnych rodzajów sensorów. Ponieważ rozdzielczość terenowa większości rodzajów sensorów jest uzależniona od ich wysokości nad odwzorowywanym terenem, konieczne jest wyznaczenie minimalnej wysokości lotu obserwacyjnego, na której dozwolona rozdzielczość terenowa nie zostanie przekroczona. W tym celu wykonuje się przeloty i pozyskuje zobrazowania nad specjalnie skonstruowanymi celami kalibracyjnymi. Na pozyskanych zobrazowaniach mogą występować pewne błędy, artefakty, mające wpływ na poprawność wyznaczania zdolności rozdzielczej. W przypadku badań w zakresie widzialnym błędy spowodowane są przeważnie pracą sensora oraz sposobem rejestracji danych. W przypadku sensorów termalnych, dodatkowym elementem mogącym wprowadzać błędy są same cele kalibracyjne. W Zakładzie Teledetekcji i Fotogrametrii WAT prowadzone są obecnie prace nad stworzeniem nowych celów kalibracyjnych, których konstrukcja będzie minimalizowała te błędy.

The precise determination of resolving power of sensors is a key problem especially when establishing which sensors can be used for Open Skies missions. The Treaty on Open Skies dictates the lowest acceptable resolving power of sensors which can be used during observation flights. Because the resolving power of most sensors differs with the height of the sensor above the terrain, it is essential to determine the minimal flying altitude, at which the permitted spatial resolution will not be exceeded. A series of test flights above especially constructed calibration targets is conducted in order to acquire imagery of these tests at different altitudes. The spatial resolution of these images is determined by evaluating the visibility of each of the components of these calibration targets. In theory, such a methodology would allow for the precise calculation of the resolving power. In reality, however, the acquired images can be burdened with a number of artifacts, or deformities, which can have a negative effect on accuracy of our calculations. When acquiring imagery in the visible range, these errors are usually caused by the detector itself or by the method by which the data is registered. However, imagery in the thermal range can additionally contain errors caused by the design of the calibration targets used. In recent years, at the Department of Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry at the Military University of Technology in Warsaw, we have designed and constructed a number of calibration targets used during Open Skies missions. One such target had been recently laid out during a Ukrainian observation flight over Polish territories. The aim of the experiment was to establish the resolving power of a new Ukrainian film. A series of images had been acquired by means of the AFA-41/7.5 analogue frame camera from a height of 1100 m. This height is the theoretical Hmin for this film, meaning the spatial resolution of imagery acquired from this altitude, will be close to 30 cm. Based on imagery acquired during this flight, it had been established that the spatial resolution of the resultant imagery is much worse than 30 cm, which means that the chosen Hmin value had been too high. We are currently in the process of constructing a new set of calibration targets, whose design will minimize the aforementioned errors. Additionally, the targets have been designed in such a way, that they will be used for determining the spatial resolution of both thermal and optical sensors. The effectiveness of these new targets will be tested shortly.

This study developed a simple wire phantom and an algorithm to automatically measure the modulation transfer function (MTF) in computed tomography (CT) and implemented it to evaluate the effect of focal spot size and reconstruction filter type. The phantom consisted of a resin cylinder filled with water, with a tin wire of diameter 0.1 mm positioned along the center of the cylinder. The automated MTF algorithm used an axial image of the phantom and comprised several steps. The center position of a region of interest (ROI) was automatically determined at the center of the wire image. The pixels were then summed along the y-direction to obtain the profile of the pixel values at a point along the x-direction. Following this, both edges of the profile were made equal to zero. The profile curve was then normalized so that the total of all the data was equal to unity. The normalized profile curve is the line spread function (LSF), and the MTF curve was obtained by taking its Fourier transform. Our system (phantom and algorithm) is able to differentiate the MTFs of CT images from different focal sizes and reconstruction filter types.

The Open Skies Treaty has been a peace-building instrument between North American and European nations for over two decades. This agreement is based on the possibility for each country-signatory of the Treaty to independently conduct observation flights and obtain aerial imagery data of the territories of other Treaty States-Parties. This imagery data was originally acquired only using traditional photographic film cameras. Together with the rapid development and advancement of digital sensor technologies, the logical step forward was to amend the Treaty provisions to allow for the use of these types of sensors during observation missions. This paper describes this transition process and highlights a number of technical problems which needed to be addressed by experts working within the Open Skies Consultative Commission workgroups.

We used GATE simulation to study the effect of the coincidence time window (CTW) along with the block gap and the intercrystal gap on the count rate performance and the spatial resolution of the Biograph™ mCT 20 Excel. We ran simulations on our local cluster to reduce computation time. The task was split into several jobs that were then triggered simultaneously on the cluster nodes. The BiographTM mCT 20 Excel was validated using the NEMA NU 2-2012 protocol. Our results showed good agreement with experimental data. The simulated sensitivity, peak true count rate, peak noise equivalent count rate (NECR), and scatter fraction showed agreement within 3.62%, 5.77%, 0.6%, and 2.69%, respectively. In addition, the spatial resolution agreed within <0.51 mm. The results showed that a decrease in the coincidence time window and the block gap and an increase in the intercrystal gap increase the count rate performance and improve the spatial resolution. The results also showed that decreasing the coincidence time window increased the NECR by 27.37%. Changing the intercrystal gap from 0 to 0.2 mm and the block gap and from 4 to 0.4 mm increased the NECR by 5.53% and improved the spatial resolution at 1 cm by 2.91 % and that at 10 cm by 3.85%. The coincidence time window, crystal gap, and block gap are important parameters with respect to improving the spatial resolution.

The paper discusses the problem of measuring velocity fluctuations of turbulent boundary layer using hot-wire probes. The study highlighted the problem of spatial resolution, which is essential when measuring small-scale in wall-bounded flows. Additionally, the attention was paid to the inconsistency in streamwise fluctuation measurements using single and X-wire probes. To clarify this problem the energy spectra using wavelet transformation were calculated. The analysis was performed for turbulent boundary layer flow, which was characterized by the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity equal ReƮ≈1000.

This paper presents an initial study to improve the spatial resolution of DICOM data using the Lanczos resampling filter. DICOM data from the cranium area of three patients, were obtained using a Somatom Sensation Open 40 scanner. A model with voxel dimension 0.4×0.4×2.4 mm was chosen as the gold standard, over the modeling approach using voxel dimensions 0.4×0.4×4.8 mm. Using the Lanczos resampling filter, changed the slice thickness from 4.8 mm to 2.4 mm. The influence of the Lanczos resampling filter on improving the spatial resolution of data was very similar across all 3 patients. The Lanczos filter changed the spatial resolution of the data and improved the accuracy of reconstruction of cranium geometry. The presented research highlights new opportunities to control deviations at the data processing and modeling of geometry stages.

This study aims to demonstrate the applicability of three dimensional-carbon-nanotubes (3D-CNT) micro-electrode array for electrocardiogram (ECG) study on the premier vertebrate model zebrafish. The small-feature size and vectorial array of 3D-CNT micro-electrodes were designed to detect ECG signals with high spatial resolution. With 30 μm–85 μm spacing between electrodes, it enables to detect the directionality of the ECG signals, the change of the characteristic ECG wave-forms at different locations of an adult zebrafish heart. Besides, the preliminary drug response tests using 3D-CNT micro-electrode were also carried out, which validated the capability of real-time observation on drug-induced ECG signal changes. The 3D-CNT micro-electrode array is thus feasible for ECG research and cardiac drug screenings, and holds high potential for studying bioelectric signals of other living organ-isms in the future.

The aim of the paper was to confirm the proposition that the classical SST algorithms MCSST and NLSST originally prepared for AVHRR data could also be used for Meteosat/SEVIRI data with satisfactory accuracy in the mid-latitude region, where the spatial resolution is about 7×7 km. The research was performed in the southern Baltic Sea (between 13◦E 53◦N and 21◦E 58◦N). Data were collected in all the seasons of 2007. The coefficients were found by means of regression analysis. SSTs determined on the basis of AVHRR data were used in the regression analysis instead of in situ data. A set of paired AVHRR and SEVIRI images spaced no more than 8 minutes apart were compared. The results show that the method is capable of producing sea surface temperatures with a statistical error (standard deviation) of 1◦C.

The paper addresses the sensitivity of a novel method for quantifying the environmental risks associated with the current-driven transport of adverse impacts released from offshore sources (e.g. ship traffic) with respect to the spatial resolution of the underlying hydrodynamic model. The risk is evaluated as the probability of particles released in different sea areas hitting the coast and in terms of the time after which the hit occurs (particle age) on the basis of a statistical analysis of large sets of 10-day long Lagrangian trajectories calculated for 1987–1991 for the Gulf of Finland, the Baltic Sea. The relevant 2D maps are calculated using the OAAS model with spatial resolutions of 2, 1 and 0.5 nautical miles (nm) and with identical initial, boundary and forcing conditions from the Rossby Centre 3D hydrodynamic model (RCO, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute). The spatially averaged values of the probability and particle age display hardly any dependence on the resolution. They both reach almost identical stationary levels (0.67–0.69 and ca 5.3 days respectively) after a few years of simulations. Also, the spatial distributions of the relevant fields are qualitatively similar for all resolutions. In contrast, the optimum locations for fairways depend substantially on the resolution, whereas the results for the 2 nm model differ considerably from those obtained using finer-resolutionmodels. It is concluded that eddy-permitting models with a grid step exceeding half the local baroclinic Rossby radius are suitable for a quick check of whether or not any potential gain from this method is feasible, whereas higher-resolution simulations with eddy-resolving models are necessary for detailed planning. The asymptotic values of the average probability and particle age are suggested as an indicator of the potential gain from the method in question and also as a new measure of the vulnerability of the nearshore of water bodies to offshore traffic accidents.

Application of digital radiography (based on electronics) for imaging in medical practice has been recently dynamically developing, which results in implementation of this technique to industrial non-destructive testing (NDT). However, with respect to significant differences that include, first of all, much higher X-ray energies used for testing various object in industry (e.g. welds, castings, joints in electronic engineering) and often also necessity of using light, portable digital detectors, it is impossible to transfer solutions directly from medicine to industry. In this paper, modern trends and practical solutions of digital detectors designed for NDT are presented.
