Tony Davies and a number of others consider collecting supplementary spectroscopic data. Like Eurospec, the plan is to use such supplementary data not only to enhance the published paper, but also to aid thorough peer-review by allowing reviewers access to the full data rather than, as Tony puts it, “low-resolution images of data”. I’m sure you will be interested in a look at the future through this column.

Low Resolution Images

Imaging devices of less than 300,000 pixels are mostly used for sewage conduit exploration due to the petty nature of the survey industry in Korea. Particularly, devices of less than 100,000 pixels are still widely used, and the environment for image processing is very dim. Since the sewage conduit images covered in this study have a very low resolution (240 × 320 = 76,800 pixels), it is very difficult to detect cracks. Because most of the resolutions of the sewer conduit images are very low in Korea, this problem of low resolution was selected as the subject of this study. Cracks were detected through a total of six steps of improving the crack in Step 2, finding the optimal threshold value in Step 3, and applying an algorithm to detect cracks in Step 5. Cracks were effectively detected by the optimal parameters in Steps 2 and 3 and the user algorithm in Step 5. Despite the very low resolution, the cracked images showed a 96.4% accuracy of detection, and the non-cracked images showed 94.5% accuracy. Moreover, the analysis was excellent in quality. It is believed that the findings of this study can be effectively used for crack detection with low-resolution images.

Low Resolution Images

Conventional ultrasonic coherent plane-wave (PW) compounding corresponds to Delay-and-Sum (DAS) beamforming of low-resolution images from distinct PW transmit angles. Nonetheless, the trade-off between the level of clutter artifacts and the number of PW transmit angle may compromise the image quality in ultrafast acquisition. Delay-Multiply-and-Sum (DMAS) beamforming in the dimension of PW transmit angle is capable of suppressing clutter interference and is readily compatible with the conventional method. In DMAS, a tunable p value is used to modulate the signal coherence estimated from the low-resolution images to produce the final high-resolution output and does not require huge memory allocation to record all the received channel data in multi-angle PW imaging. In this study, DMAS beamforming is used to construct a novel coherence-based power Doppler detection together with the complementary subset transmit (CST) technique to further reduce the noise level. For p = 2.0 as an example, simulation results indicate that the DMAS beamforming alone can improve the Doppler SNR by 8.2 dB compared to DAS counterpart. Another 6-dB increase in Doppler SNR can be further obtained when the CST technique is combined with DMAS beamforming with sufficient ensemble averaging. The CST technique can also be performed with DAS beamforming, though the improvement in Doppler SNR and CNR is relatively minor. Experimental results also agree with the simulations. Nonetheless, since the DMAS beamforming involves multiplicative operation, clutter filtering in the ensemble direction has to be performed on the low-resolution images before DMAS to remove the stationary tissue without coupling from the flow signal.

Three techniques for assessing extension of one's personal future (line-marking, open-ended report, life-events) were compared in a sample of 74 respondents. Two points of data collection were employed to examine short-term stability. At both administrations, correlations among indices suggested that techniques were only moderately comparable. Short-term stabilities were variable; correlations ranged from .42 to .79. Across subgroups of the sample, the direct, open-ended report of extension showed the greatest stability, while life-event extension showed the least. Apparently, extension of thinking about the future should be assessed by more than one technique to investigate potential relationships with other variables or changes over time in perspective about the future.

In picosecond and slower pump–probe diffraction experiments, collection of response–ratio correlation sets prior to full data collection provides an invaluable confirmation of the existence of a light-induced signal prior to full data collection. If a response to light exposure is observed, the quality of the data being collected can be assessed. A number of such correlation plots both for synchrotron and in-house pump–probe data collection are presented.
