    摘要: A method of processing borehole log data to create one or more image logs involve modelling the log data as components of an image in the form i(x, y)=l(x, y)×r(x, y) (1), in which i(x, y) is an image representative of the log data, l(x, y) denotes an illumination value of the image at two-dimensional spatial co-ordinates x, y, and r(x, y) denotes a surface reflectance value at the co-ordinates x, y. Equation (1) is transformed to a logarithmic domain, and a Fourier transform is obtained of the resulting logarithmic domain expression to obtain a Fourier domain expression. The Fourier domain expression is high-pass filtered, and an inverse Fourier transform is obtained of the resulting filtered Fourier domain expression. An exponential operation is performed on the result of inverse Fourier transform to obtain a filtered image model expression. Values of the filtered image model expression are mapped to respective color values across the range of the filtered image model expression values. The mapped color values can then be displayed, printed, saved and/or transmitted as one or more image logs.

    摘要: A wastewater monitoring system uses a camera in a fixed location in a wastewater pipe that takes a still photograph of a location of interest at defined intervals, such as five minutes. The photographs are retrieved from the camera, and are then analyzed on a computer system that aggregates the still photographs into a video stream, allows a user to define an area of interest on one of the still photographs, then uses suitable algorithms or heuristics to detect changes between the photographs in the video stream. Video clips of interest are then generated using the detected changes, and are identified to a user so the user can review the video clips of interest to determine flows in the wastewater pipe that was monitored.

    摘要: The present invention achieves a reduction in the size of a device by acquiring a plurality of images in different position without shifting microlenses (MLs) of an one imaging element while suppressing shading and crosstalk. Provided is an endoscope image-acquisition device including: an objective optical system that forms two subject images in parallel; and an imaging element that has a plurality of MLs arrayed at an entrance side from the objective optical system and in which pixels are allocated to the respective MLs, wherein the centers of light-sensitive portions at the pixels are displaced with respect to the optical axes of the MLs such that displacements therebetween are gradually increased from the center portion of the imaging element toward peripheral portions thereof; the position of an exit pupil of the objective optical system is closer to an object than an imaging position of the objective optical system is; and conditional expression (1) is satisfied. 0.5≦(θH−θD)/α≦3  (1) Here, α is an angle formed by a chief ray at a horizontal maximum image height and an optical axis, θH is a chief-ray correction amount (angle) for the ML at the horizontal maximum image height (H) from the center portion of the imaging element, and θD is a chief-ray correction amount (angle) for the ML at a distance D from the center portion of the imaging element. The distance D is the distance between the center portion of the imaging element and the point of intersection between α line drawn toward the center portion of the imaging element at a degrees from the position of the exit pupil of the objective optical system and the imaging element.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method and an image acquisition system for synchronizing movement of a device associated with a microscope and acquisition of images from a camera associated with the microscope. An exposure signal is received from the camera associated with the microscope. The exposure signal is analyzed to identify a period of time when the device associated with the microscope may be moved. In addition, image data associated with the exposure signal is received. Further a command is issued to the device associated with the microscope to move the device associated with the microscope to a new position during the identified period of time.
