Determination of System Geometrical Parameters and Consistency between Scans ...David Scaduto
Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) requires precise knowledge of acquisition geometry for accurate image reconstruction. Further, image subtraction techniques employed in dual-energy contrast-enhanced tomosynthesis require that scans be performed under nearly identical geometrical conditions. A geometrical calibration algorithm is developed to investigate system geometry and geometrical consistency of image acquisition between consecutive digital breast tomosynthesis scans, according to requirements for dual-energy contrast-enhanced tomosynthesis. Investigation of geometrical accuracy and consistency on a prototype DBT unit reveals accurate angular measurement, but potentially clinically significant differences in acquisition angles between scans. Further, a slight gantry wobble is observed, suggesting the need for incorporation of gantry wobble into image reconstruction, or improvements to system hardware.
An algorithm to quantify the swelling by reconstructing 3D model of the face with stereo images is presented. We

The aim of this paper is to present the essential elements of the electro-optical imaging system EOIS for space applications and how these elements can affect its function. After designing a spacecraft for low orbiting missions during day time, the design of an electro-imaging system becomes an important part in the satellite because the satellite will be able to take images of the regions of interest. An example of an electro-optical satellite imaging system will be presented through this paper where some restrictions have to be considered during the design process. Based on the optics principals and ray tracing techniques the dimensions of lenses and CCD (Charge Coupled Device) detector are changed matching the physical satellite requirements. However, many experiments were done in the physics lab to prove that the resizing of the electro optical elements of the imaging system does not affect the imaging mission configuration. The procedures used to measure the field of view and ground resolution will be discussed through this work. Examples of satellite images will be illustrated to show the ground resolution effects.

These parallax methods provide a fundamental way to determine elevations from aerial photographs.

Modern photography is based on the same optical principles but uses digital cameras. The document then discusses key optics concepts like light waves, frequency, amplitude and wavelength. It covers the basics of lenses, how they gather and focus light rays, and defines terms like the optical axis and focal length. Sample lens calculations involving angles of incidence and refraction are also presented.
Errors and Uncertainty are parts of surveying. These slides start first by defining scale and measurements, then show how to determine the uncertainty in measurements. For making these slides I used some books as well; Surveying_Engineering Surveying 6th edition, Surveying Problem Solving, & Surevying_Elemntary Surveying an introduction to Geomatics_Paul R. Wolf.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

Networking is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data. In
computer networks, networked computing devices pass data to each other along data
connections. Data is transferred in the form of packets. The connections between nodes are
established using either cable media or wireless media.
This is an overview of my career in Aircraft Design and Structures, which I am still trying to post on LinkedIn. Includes my BAE Systems Structural Test roles/ my BAE Systems key design roles and my current work on academic projects.
2. Introduction
◼ Measurements may be the lengths of lines between imaged points.
◼ Coordinates of imaged points are the most common type of photographic
measurement.
◼ Image coordinates directly used in many photogrammetric Eq.
◼ Coord. Usually made on positives printed on paper, film, or glass, or in
digital images on PC.
◼ Equipment varies from expensive to low cost such as complex machines
that provide computer-compatible digital output to simple scales.
◼ Systematic errors associated with practically all photographic
measurements.
◼ These errors and the manners by which they are eliminated are to be
discussed in this lecture.
3. Coordinate system for image
measurement
◼ Metric camera with F. M., rectangular axis system by joining F. M is
commonly adopted.
◼ The x axis parallel and positive in the direction of flight.
◼ The positive y axis is 90° - from positive x.
◼ The origin of the coordinate system is the intersection of F.M lines.
◼ Position of any image point is given by
its rectangular coordinates xa and ya.
◼ xa is perpendicular distance from y axis
to a.
◼ ya is perpendicular distance from x axis
to a.
◼ Distance ab can be calculated
4. Photographic Measurements from
simple scales
◼ Engineering scale can be used when lower order accuracy is required.
◼ available in both metric and English units and have several different
graduation intervals.
◼ Precision and accuracy can be enhanced by magnifier glass for fine
reading.
◼ For better accuracy, glass scale may be
used.
5. Measuring photo Cordinates
◼ The photo coordinate axis system will be marked first using eng. Scale via
the FM with lines extended using usual 4H pencil.
◼ Perpendicular distances from a points to the formed axis are used to obtain
rectangular coordinates.
◼ The measured coordinates of a point preferred to be sharp and distinctive.
◼ If not, further identification is required with a small pinprick carefully
under magnification.
6. Comparator measurement
◼ Used for film photograph with final coordinate
measurement accuracy.
◼ Comparator able to extract precise photo
coordinates necessary for calibration &
analytical photogrammetry (2 -3) μm.
◼ Are classified nto two basic types
(monocomparators & stereocomparators).
◼ Monocomparators make measurements on one
photograph at a time.
◼ With stereocomparators image positions are
measured by simultaneously viewing an
overlapping stereo pair of photographs

1920
7. Photogrammetric Scanners
◼ Device used to convert analogue to digital.
◼ It is essential that a photogrammetric scanner have sufficient geometric
and radiometric resolution as well as high geometric accuracy.
◼ photogrammetric scanners should be capable of producing digital images
with minimum pixel sizes on the order of 5 to 15 μm.

8. Refinement of Measured Image
Coordinates
Correction needs to be applied to eliminate or mitigate the systematic
errors from various sources
1. Distortion in focal plane
◼ Film distortions due to shrinkage, expansion, and lack of flatness;
◼ CCD array distortions due to electrical signal timing issues or lack of flatness of the
chip surface
2. Principal point location
◼ Failure of photo coordinate axes to intersect at the principal point;
◼ Failure of principal point to be aligned with centre of CCD array
3. Lens distortions
4. Atmospheric refraction distortions
5. Earth curvature distortion
9. Image Plane Distortion
◼ Shrinkage or expansion present in photograph can be calculated by
comparing the measured distances from fiducial with calibrated FM.
◼ Photo coordinates can be corrected if discrepancies exist.
◼ Depending on necessary level of accuracy, if lower accuracy required
with eng. scale, the following approach is followed:
Where:
xm & ym : measured fiducial distances positive
xc & yc : calibrated fiducial distances positive
x’
a & y’
a : corrected photo coordinates
xa & ya : measured photo coordinates
10. example
For high-accuracy applications, shrinkage or expansion corrections may
be applied through the x and y scale factors of a two-dimensional affine
coordinate transformation.
11. Correction for Lens Distortions
◼ Comprised of two components: symmetric radial distortion & decentring
distortion.
◼ Lens distortions are typically less than 5 μm for modern precision aerial
mapping cameras.
◼ Symmetric radial lens distortion is an unavoidable product of lens
manufacture.
◼ Imperfect assembly of lens elements cause decentring distortion.
◼ Radial lens distortion calculated using the polynomial form
Δr = k1r1+ k2r3+ k3r5+ k4r7
Where Δr = amount of radial lens distortion
r= is the radial distance from the principal point.
k1, k2, k3, k4 = coefficients of the polynomial
18. Correction for Lens Distortions
◼ In modern mapping camera, the lens design evolved to such a level that
symmetric radial and decentring are is of the same order of magnitude.
◼ Simultaneous Multi-camera Analytical Calibration (SMAC) model as an
example is used with USGS calibration procedure.
◼ SMAC computes both distortion parameters in addition to PP & f directly
by LS.
◼ Solved parameters are (k0, k1, k2, k3, k4), (p1, p2, p3, p4), (xp, yp), & f.
Δx, Δy = decentring distortion correc.
r = is the radial distance from the PP.
k0, k1, k2, k3, k4 = coefficients of the
symmetric radial lens distortion
= coordinates of the image
relative to the PP.
p1, p2, p3, p4 = are coefficients of
decentring distortion.
= sym. rad. lens disto. correct.
21. Correction for Atmospheric Refraction
◼ Density or RI of the atmosphere decreases with increasing altitude.
◼ Therefore, light rays do not travel in straight line but bent according to
Snell's law, figure.
◼◼ object point A would be imaged a’.
◼ Angular distor. due refr. is Δɑ.
◼ Refr. cause all im. pts to be diplaced
outward from corc.pos.
◼ Magn. of ref, disto. Increases with
increases of flying height.
◼ Refraction distr. occurs radially from
the photo NP & zero at the NP.
