Markhorst, Thomas (author)
In this paper, we combine image denoising and classification, aiming to enhance human perception of noisy images captured by edge devices, like security cameras. Since edge devices have little computational power, we also optimize for efficiency by proposing a novel architecture that integrates the two tasks. Additionally, we alter a Neural...

Objectives: Digital endoscopes are connected to a video processor that applies various operations to process the image. One of those operations is edge enhancement that sharpens the image. The purpose of this study was to (1) quantify the level of edge enhancement, (2) measure the effect on sharpness and image noise, and (3) study the...

In this study, a novel anthropomorphic head phantom for quantitative image quality assessment in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is proposed. The phantom is composed of tissue equivalent materials (TEMs) which are suitable for cost-efficient fabrication methods such as silicone casting and 3D printing. A monocalcium phosphate/gypsum...

Finding good viewpoints for catoptric anamorphoses by hand is hard. However, it should be possible to find the optimal viewpoint using just the specifications of the mirror. This problem is solved by first generating a set of candidate viewpoints using the specifications of the mirror. Then all candidates are ranked based on metrics like visible...

Automated Fibre Placement is a common manufacturing technique for composite parts in the aero-space industry. Therefore, a visual part inspection is required which often covers up to 50% of the actual production time. Moreover, the inspection quality of this manual step fluctuates significantly. A camera-based automated inline inspection is...

The first time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) scanners were developed as early as in the 1980s. However, the poor light output and low detection efficiency of TOF-capable detectors available at the time limited any gain in image quality achieved with these TOF-PET scanners over the traditional non-TOF PET scanners. The...

Electron tomography is a powerful tool in materials science to characterize nanostructures in three dimensions (3D). In scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), the sample under study is exposed to a focused electron beam and tilted to obtain twodimensional (2D) projections at different angles; many imaging modes are available such as...

This article quantitatively analyzes the impact of bit errors in digitized RF data on ultrasound image quality. The quality of B-mode images in both linear array and phased array imaging is evaluated by means of three objective image quality metrics: peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index, and contrast-to-noise ratio, when...

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common type of arrhythmia, characterized by rapid and irregular contraction of the atria. Irregular contraction of the atria is caused by erroneous electrical activation, originating from the tissue around the Pulmonary Veins (PV) in the Left Atrium (LA). Catheter-based treatment of AF includes ablation of the...

Regularization has been introduced to electron tomography for enhancing the reconstruction quality. Since over-regularization smears out sharp edges and under-regularization leaves the image too noisy, finding the optimal regularization strength is crucial. To this end, one can either manually tune regularization parameters by trial and error...

Multimedia systems are typically optimized in a way that maximizes users’ satisfaction of using the systems/services. This user satisfaction is what is commonly referred to as Quality of Experience (QoE). For visual media, such as images and videos, the optimization of QoE has meant reducing the visibility of artifacts (e.g. noise or other...

An onshore seismic survey is best conducted symmetrically, due to the reciprocity theorem of the wave field. Within the family of symmetric geometries the cross spread is most used. Recent developments show a marked increase of the number of available channels, nowadays 100,000+. This enables the use of point receivers, meaning that every...

Bimodal tomography introduces a weighting factor α to incorporate X-ray data into projection images acquired from scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) for achieving an atom-specific three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of an object on the nanoscale. Currently its value is chosen by computing reconstructions for a large range of...

The need of image (frame) acquisitions within short time intervals is of major importance for preclinical SPECT imaging. The short frame times enable higher temporal resolution which is required in bio-distribution and pharmacokinetic studies where fast dynamic imaging is performed. The present study evaluates and compares the performance of two...

A world without digital images is unthinkable in this era of information and communication technology. Billions of images are created, shared and ultimately enjoyed by users every day. However, digital images are sensitive to a wide variety of distortions during the delivery mechanism it goes through. Any of the distortions that can arise during...

Failure behavior of asphalt mixture is the process of local deformation accumulation, therefore, local deformation investigation is the base work of failure behavior. Digital image correlation (DIC) method is an optical method which can calculate the local deformation in the failure process. This paper aims to evaluate the precision, select...

We have recently built and characterized the performance of a monolithic scintillator detector based on a 32 mm × 32 mm × 22 mm LYSO:Ce crystal read out by digital silicon photomultiplier (dSiPM) arrays coupled to the crystal front and back surfaces in a dual-sided readout (DSR) configuration. The detector spatial resolution appeared to be...

The high-fidelity reconstruction of compressed and lowresolution magnetic resonance (MR) data is essential for simultaneously improving patient care, accuracy in diagnosis and quality in clinical research. Sponsored by the Royal Society through the Newton Mobility Grant Scheme, we held a halfday workshop on reconstruction schemes for MR data...

While the world we live in becomes more saturated with ubiquitous digital displays, and as the threshold for creating digital media continues to drop, image quality is an issue that concerns an increasingly large segment of the population. Higher resolutions, increased dynamic range, and faster frame rates put increasing demands on resources...
