Intelligent multi-scale image parsing determines the optimal size of each observation by an artificial agent at a given point in time while searching for the anatomical landmark. The artificial agent begins searching image data with a coarse field-of-view and iteratively decreases the field-of-view to locate the anatomical landmark. After searching at a coarse field-of view, the artificial agent increases resolution to a finer field-of-view to analyze context and appearance factors to converge on the anatomical landmark. The artificial agent determines applicable context and appearance factors at each effective scale.

The invention discloses a remote sensing image fusion method based on sparse representation. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, establishing a linear regression model between a multispectral image and a brightness component thereof; secondly, performing sparse representation on a panchromatic image and the multispectral image by using high and low resolution dictionaries respectively, and acquiring sparse representation coefficients of the brightness component of the multispectral image according to the linear regression model; thirdly, extracting detail components according to the sparse representation coefficients of the panchromatic image and the brightness component, and implanting the detail components to the sparse representation coefficients of each band of the multispectral image under a general component replacement fusion framework; and finally, performing image restoration to obtain a multispectral image with high spatial resolution.

A design and readout of a xenon detection medium based device, which provides improved spectroscopic performance compared to currently commercially available devices. To achieve energy resolution improvement, a method to accurately measure radial spatial position for interacting events within a HPXe cylindrical detector is described using the plan as shown in FIG. 4. This is accomplished by utilization of light generated both at the gamma interaction site and at the collection point near the anode wire of the cylindrical detector. These light flashes are detected by a VUV photon detector. Light transmission is facilitated by incorporating a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light transparent window at least one end of the cylindrical ionization detector. With the known electron drift velocity in HPXe, the time between these two photopulses is sufficient to accurately determine the radial coordinate. Consequently, correction by electronic means for the electrostatic pulse dispersion using the expression graphed in FIG. 2 can be achieved in order to approach the true intrinsic energy resolution limit for HPXe.

An inversion-based algorithm for computing the time frequency analysis of reflection seismograms using constrained least-squares spectral analysis is formulated and applied to modeled seismic waveforms and real seismic data. The Fourier series coefficients are computed as a function of time directly by inverting a basis of truncated sinusoidal kernels for a moving time window. Spectra may be provided that have reduced window smearing for a given window length relative to the discrete Fourier transform irrespective of window shape, and a time-frequency analysis with a combination of time and frequency resolution that is superior to the short time Fourier transform and the continuous wavelet transform. The reduction in spectral smoothing enables enhanced determination of spectral characteristics of interfering reflections within a short window. The degree of resolution improvement relative to the short time Fourier transform increases as window length decreases.

The resolution of a low-resolution image is made high and a stereoscopic image is displayed. Resolution is made high by super-resolution processing. In this case, the super-resolution processing is performed after edge enhancement processing is performed. Accordingly, a stereoscopic image with high resolution and high quality can be displayed. Alternatively, after image analysis processing is performed, edge enhancement processing and super-resolution processing are concurrently performed. Accordingly, processing time can be shortened.

Embodiments of the invention allow the operation of confocal microscopes with relatively open pinholes (e.g. 1 Airy unit) whilst still giving a significant XY resolution improvement. In addition axial (Z) discrimination or resolution may also be improved. This is achieved by splitting the emitted light path in an interferometric fashion. One of the split beams is then directed inversion which inverts at least one coordinate in image space. The transformed beam and the non-transformed beam are then recombined in an interferometric fashion (i.e. coherently added), which provides an interference effect resulting in increased resolution of the image. Where the embodiments are being used in a confocal application, the resulting combined beam can then be subject to a spatially discriminating means, such as a pinhole, or the like.

Prior work on differential mobility analysis (DMA) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) has shown how to couple the output of the DMA with the inlet of an atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometer (APCI-MS). However, the conventional ion inlet to an APCI-MS is a round orifice, while conventional DMA geometries make use of elongated slits. The coupling of two systems with such different symmetries limits considerably the resolutions attainable by the DMA in a DMA-MS combination below the value of the DMA alone. The purpose of this invention is to overcome this limitation in the case of a parallel plate DMA. One solution involves use of an elongated rather than a circular MS sampling hole, with the long dimension of the MS inlet hole aligned with that of the DMA slit. Another involves use of a more elongated orifice in the DMA exit and a more circular hole on the MS inlet, the two being connected either through a short transfer conduit or through an ion guide. The DMAs described can also be coupled profitably to detectors and analyzers other than mass spectrometers.
