Cover Story: An assessment of different imaging artifacts in quantitative neutron transmission imaging of hydrogenous steel specimens is performed. The contribution of scattered neutrons to the total detected intensity is dependent on the sample–detector distance and the scattering behavior of the sample material. It can be reduced by either using the full detector area for imaging or by shielding the unused detector areas from neutrons with nontransparent material. This also reduces the backlight effect in the scintillator. Varying sample–detector distances allow the transmitted intensity to be separated from the scattered intensity by fitting an appropriate distance law. Refraction of neutrons on smooth surfaces can be avoided by exact alignment of the sample parallel to the incoming beam. View this paper

Analysing Arbitrary Curves from the Line Hough Transform

  • Donald Bailey,
  • Yuan Chang and
  • Steven Le Moan

The Hough transform is commonly used for detecting linear features within an image. A line is mapped to a peak within parameter space corresponding to the parameters of the line. By analysing the shape of the peak, or peak locus, within parameter spa...

We propose a tracking-by-detection algorithm to track the movements of meeting participants from an overhead camera. An advantage of using overhead cameras is that all objects can typically be seen clearly, with little occlusion; however, detecting p...

Neugebauer Models for Color Error Diffusion Halftoning

  • Kaiming Wu,
  • Kohei Inoue and
  • Kenji Hara

In this paper, we propose a method for halftoning color images based on an error diffusion technique, a color design criterion and Neugebauer models for expressing colors. For a natural extension of the conventional method for grayscale error diffusi...

On the Genesis of Artifacts in Neutron Transmission Imaging of Hydrogenous Steel Specimens

  • Beate Pfretzschner,
  • Thomas Schaupp,
  • Andreas Hannemann,
  • Michael Schulz and
  • Axel Griesche

Hydrogen-charged supermartensitic steel samples were used to systematically investigate imaging artifacts in neutron radiography. Cadmium stencils were placed around the samples to shield the scintillator from excessive neutron radiation and to inves...

Spectrum Correction Using Modeled Panchromatic Image for Pansharpening

  • Naoko Tsukamoto,
  • Yoshihiro Sugaya and
  • Shinichiro Omachi

Pansharpening is a method applied for the generation of high-spatial-resolution multi-spectral (MS) images using panchromatic (PAN) and multi-spectral images. A common challenge in pansharpening is to reduce the spectral distortion caused by increasi...
