The consumption of seaweed is increasing year by year worldwide. Therefore, the foreign object inspection of seaweed is becoming increasingly important. Seaweed is mixed with various materials such as laver and sargassum fusiforme. So it has various colors even in the same seaweed. In addition, the surface is uneven and greasy, causing diffuse reflections frequently. For these reasons, it is difficult to detect foreign objects in seaweed, so the accuracy of conventional foreign object detectors used in real manufacturing sites is less than 80%. Supporting real-time inspection should also be considered when inspecting foreign objects. Since seaweed requires mass production, rapid inspection is essential. However, hyperspectral imaging techniques are generally not suitable for high-speed inspection. In this study, we overcome this limitation by using dimensionality reduction and using simplified operations. For accuracy improvement, the proposed algorithm is carried out in 2 stages. Firstly, the subtraction method is used to clearly distinguish seaweed and conveyor belts, and also detect some relatively easy to detect foreign objects. Secondly, a standardization inspection is performed based on the result of the subtraction method. During this process, the proposed scheme adopts simplified and burdenless calculations such as subtraction, division, and one-by-one matching, which achieves both accuracy and low latency performance. In the experiment to evaluate the performance, 60 normal seaweeds and 60 seaweeds containing foreign objects were used, and the accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 95%. Finally, by implementing the proposed algorithm as a foreign object detection platform, it was confirmed that real-time operation in rapid inspection was possible, and the possibility of deployment in real manufacturing sites was confirmed.

Since opportunities for spaceflight experiments are scarce, ground-based microgravity simulation devices (MSDs) offer accessible and economical alternatives for gravitational biology studies. Among the MSDs, the random positioning machine (RPM) provides simulated microgravity conditions on the ground by randomizing rotating biological samples in two axes to distribute the Earth’s gravity vector in all directions over time. Real-time microscopy and image acquisition during microgravity simulation are of particular interest to enable the study of how basic cell functions, such as division, migration, and proliferation, progress under altered gravity conditions. However, these capabilities have been difficult to implement due to the constantly moving frames of the RPM as well as mechanical noise. Therefore, we developed an image acquisition module that can be mounted on an RPM to capture live images over time while the specimen is in the simulated microgravity (SMG) environment. This module integrates a digital microscope with a magnification range of 20× to 700×, a high-speed data transmission adaptor for the wireless streaming of time-lapse images, and a backlight illuminator to view the sample under brightfield and darkfield modes. With this module, we successfully demonstrated the real-time imaging of human cells cultured on an RPM in brightfield, lasting up to 80 h, and also visualized them in green fluorescent channel. This module was successful in monitoring cell morphology and in quantifying the rate of cell division, cell migration, and wound healing in SMG. It can be easily modified to study the response of other biological specimens to SMG.

The needs of large-capacity storage in high-speed image acquisition systems require the design of reliable and efficient storage instruments. The paper presents a FPGA-based high-speed storage instrument for high speed Camera Link image acquisition system. The FPGA processes the input data and stores the results into the storage array. Multi-chip large-capacity SLC NAND Flash chips constitute a storage array, with up to 100MByte/s storage rate, is used for the digitization image signals. A multilevel high-speed buffer structure based on abundant internal block RAM resources in FPGA is used for speeding up data access. At the same time, it can take advantage of FPGA constructing the corresponding VGA timing signals to control the video conversion chip ADV7123 to realize the function of real-time display. After a description of the proposed hardware and solutions, an experimental was built to test the performance. The results have shown that the FPGA-based acquisition system is a compact and flexible solution for high-speed image acquisition applications.

Time Requirements

In the weld image acquisition system, real-time image processing has been a difficult design bottleneck to break through, especially for the occasion of large data processing capability and more demanding real-time requirements, in which the traditional MCU can not adapt, so using high-performance FPGA as the core of the high speed image acquisition and processing card, better meets the large amount of data in most of the image processing system and high demanding real-time requirements. At the same time, system data collection, storage and display were implemented by using Verilog, and in order to reducing the influence of edge detection noise, the combination of image enhancement and median filtering image preprocessing algorithm was used. Compared to the pre-processing algorithm of the software implementation, it has a great speed advantage, and simplifies the subsequent processing work load, improves the speed and efficiency of the entire image processing system greatly. So it proves that the system has strong ability of restraining the noise of image, and more accurate extracted edge positioning, it can be applied in the seam tracking field which need higher real-time requirements.

Speed Up

A relatively new entry, in the field of microscopy, is the Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence Microscope (SXRFM). Using this type of instrument (e.g. Kevex Omicron X-ray Microprobe), one can obtain multiple elemental x-ray images, from the analysis of materials which show heterogeneity. The SXRFM obtains images by collimating an x-ray beam (e.g. 100 μm diameter), and then scanning the sample with a high-speed x-y stage. To speed up the image acquisition, data is acquired "on-the-fly" by slew-scanning the stage along the x-axis, like a TV or SEM scan. To reduce the overhead from "fly-back," the images can be acquired by bi-directional scanning of the x-axis. This results in very little overhead with the re-positioning of the sample stage. The image acquisition rate is dominated by the x-ray acquisition rate. Therefore, the total x-ray image acquisition rate, using the SXRFM, is very comparable to an SEM. Although the x-ray spatial resolution of the SXRFM is worse than an SEM (say 100 vs. 2 μm), there are several other advantages.
