摘要: A signal processing circuit includes a detection unit configured to detect generation of a peak in an analog signal based on an input of a photon, an A/D conversion unit configured to perform A/D conversion of a signal value into digital data of bits by determining a value of each of the bits from an upper bit to a lower bit, and a control unit configured to control the A/D conversion unit so that, in a case in which the generation of a second peak of the analog signal is detected during the A/D conversion of a signal value of a first peak of the analog signal, the A/D conversion of the signal value of the first peak will be interrupted and the A/D conversion of a signal value of the second peak will be started.

摘要: A radiation counting device is provided that includes a scintillator, a pixel circuit, and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit. In the radiation counting device, the scintillator generates a photon when radiation is incident. In the radiation counting device, the pixel circuit converts the photon into charge, stores the charge over a predetermined period, and generates an analog voltage in accordance with the amount of stored charge. In the radiation counting device, the analog-to-digital conversion circuit converts the analog voltage into a digital signal in a predetermined quantization unit less than the analog voltage generated from the one photon.

摘要: A method for implementing parametric models for scene representation to improve autonomous task performance includes generating an initial map of a scene based on at least one image corresponding to a perspective view of the scene, the initial map including a non-parametric top-view representation of the scene, implementing a parametric model to obtain a scene element representation based on the initial map, the scene element representation providing a description of one or more scene elements of the scene and corresponding to an estimated semantic layout of the scene, identifying one or more predicted locations of the one or more scene elements by performing three-dimensional localization based on the at least one image, and obtaining an overlay for performing an autonomous task by placing the one or more scene elements with the one or more respective predicted locations onto the scene element representation.

摘要: In a period between an operation for acquiring signals for an image via an amplification unit and an operation for acquiring offset signals for correcting the image via the amplification unit, a current supply capability of the amplification unit is made equal to a current supply capability in a period immediately before the image is acquired, thereby the potential state of a signal line when the signals for the image are acquired and the potential state when the offset signals for correcting the image are acquired are matched, and an artifact when the correction is made is reduced.

摘要: A radiation therapy system is configured with fast readout of X-ray images with significantly reduced image lag. A reset phase is included in the process of acquiring an X-ray image to reduce image lag in a subsequently acquired X-ray image. During the reset phase, residual charge is concurrently transferred from multiple arrays of pixel detector elements in an X-ray detector panel. As a result, image lag present in a subsequent X-ray image is minimized or otherwise reduced.
