  • Digital radiography (DR) is being developed for numerous applications in medical imaging. For understanding DR image, it is necessary to comprehend DR responses to X-ray in terms of absorbed energy. This study reports on the relationship of absorbed energy in the scintillator vs. pixel value of detector. Pixel value and exposure were measured from 50 kVp to 120 kVp until the detector was saturated. For representing radiation produced at the X-ray tube, we used program Srs-78 and compared experimental exposure with calculated exposure. Absorbed energy was acquired using spectrum and we got the relation between the two values.

  • In this paper, a turbo equalizer is proposed for the digital video broadcasting for terrestrial - 2nd generation (DVB-T2) system. The proposed turbo equalizer is consisted with the maximum a posteriori (MAP) and low density parity check (LDPC) decoder. The channel information for the soft-input-soft-output (SISO) MAP equalizer is based on the least square (LS) channel estimator. The performance is analyzed through computer simulations in terms of the iteration number.

  • In this paper, we investigated electrical characteristics of the X-ray detector of mercuric iodide (HgI2) film fabricated by PIB(Particle-in-Binder) Method on ITO substrates 17cm$\times$20cm in size with thicknesses ranging from approximately 200${\mu}m$ to 240${\mu}m$. In the present study, using I-V measurements, their electrical properties such as leakage current, X-ray sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),were investigated. The results of our study can be useful in the future design and optimization of direct active-matrix flat-panel detectors (AMFPD) for various digital X-ray imaging modalities.

  • There has recently been a great deal of interest in amorphous selenium for application of digital x-ray image sensor. The initial number of the electron-hole induced by interaction a-Se with x-ray photons and the collection efficiency to surface of generated charges are important parameters for x-ray sensitivity of the a-Se. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed that thickness of a-Se film and electric field is affected on the initial number of electron-hole and the collection efficiency. The experimental value of x-ray induced charge about the various thickness and the electric field is compared with estimated absorbed energy through MCNP 4C code to analyze the mechanism x-ray induced signal of a-Se. The experimental results showed that the electric field depends on initial escape coefficient and the thickness depends on collection coefficient than escape efficient.

  • Lately, intensifying screen of the $CaWO_4$ is used to medical treatment and diagnosis of the image. In this paper, we investigated transmission fraction and mass attenuation coefficient of $CaWO_4$ screen about diagnostic x-ray of low energy using MCNP 4C code. Experimentally, for 0.9 mm-$CaWO_4$ screen, the absorbable rate of diagnostic x-ray is more than 95%. according to kVp, the experimental value of mass attenuation coefficient is in a1most agreement with an corrected estimate value of MCNP and the deviation of experimental values is less than ${\pm}7%$. Using the MCNP code through this paper, we can make an estimate of signal and design for construction of the CaWO4/a-Se based digital x-ray image detector and make a good use of the foundation data for development of other materials.

  • The timing error detector(TED) employed in the closed loop type timing synchronization scheme for an MQASK all digital receiver suffers from the selfnoise-induced timing jitter. To eliminate the timing jitter a prefilter can be added in front of the TED. The prefilter method, however, degrades the stability and timing acquisition performance due to the loop delay and increases the complexity of the synchronizer. This paper proposes a polyphase filter type resampler approach to optimize the performance and architecture of the synchronizer simultaneously. The proposed scheme uses two resamplers which performs matched filtering and matched prefiltering so that the loop delay is minimized with minimal hardware resources. Simulation results showed an excellent acquisition performance with reduced timing jitter.

  • The Cd$\_$1-x/Zn$\_$x/Te film was produced by thermal evaporation for the flat-panel X-ray detector. The crystal structure and the surface morphology of poly crystalline Cd$\_$1-x/Zn$\_$x/Te film were examined using XRD and SEM, respectively. The leakage current and X-ray sensitivity of the fabricated films were measured to analyze the X-ray response characteristic of Zn in a polycrystalline CdZnTe thin film. The leakage current and the output charge density of Cd$\_$0.7/Zn$\_$0.3/Te thin film were measured to 0.3 1nA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 260 pC/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 2.5 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. Experimental results showed that the increase of Zn doping rates in Cd$\_$1-x/Zn$\_$x/Te detectors reduced the leakage current and improved the X-ray sensitivity significantly. The leakage current was drastically diminished by the formation of thin parylene layer in the Cd$\_$0.7/Zn$\_$0.3/Te detector.

  • 80pF capacitive couplers were connected to six 6.6kV motor model coil terminals. The voltage applied to the coils were 3.81kv, 4.76 kV and 6.6kV, respectively. These stator coils have various types of artificial insulation defects such as large voids, semi-conductive coating damage and strand insulation fault. Digital PD detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA) were used to measure PD activity. TGA summarizes each plot with two quantities such as the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the peak PD magnitude(Qm). The PD levels in PD were measured with a conventional digital PD detector. Most of the defect mechanism of large motor stator winding can be associated with PD patterns such as internal and slot discharges. PD patterns coincide with PDD and TGA. These instruments have an input bandwidth of 40-400kHz and 0.1-350MHz. Surge testing detects faults in inter-turn winding of high voltage motor model coils.

  • Digital image processing and retrieving have increasingly become very popular on the Internet and getting more attention from various multimedia fields. That results in additional privacy requirements placed on efficient image matching techniques in various applications. Hence, several searching methods have been developed when confidential images are used in image matching between pairs of security agencies, most of these search methods either limited by its cost or precision. This study proposes a secure and efficient method that preserves image privacy and confidentially between two communicating parties. To retrieve an image, feature vector is extracted from the given query image, and then the similarities with the stored database images features vector are calculated to retrieve the matched images based on an indexing scheme and matching strategy. We used a secure content-based image retrieval features detector algorithm called Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm over public cloud to extract the features and the Honey Encryption algorithm. The purpose of using the encrypted images database is to provide an accurate searching through encrypted documents without needing decryption. Progress in this area helps protect the privacy of sensitive data stored on the cloud. The experimental results (conducted on a well-known image-set) show that the performance of the proposed methodology achieved a noticeable enhancement level in terms of precision, recall, F-Measure, and execution time.

  • The Purpose of this thesis is to develop a vehicle classification algorithm using single Magnetometer detector during presence time of vehicle detection and is to examine a held application from field test. We collected data using Magnetometer detector on freeway and used digital data to change voltage values according to magnetic flux density in analysis. We collected these datum during the presence time and then obtained characteristics from wave form in these datum. Based on these characteristics, We used the following three methods for this a1gorithm :1. Template Matching Method,2. Neural Network Method using Back-propagation Algorithm 3. Complex Method using changed slope points and mixing method 1, 2. Of course, Before processing of over three methods, These data were processed normalizing by 20, 40 of size in only X axis and moving average by 0, 3, 4, 5 of size. Vehicle classification were Processed in three steps ; 2, 3, 5 types classification. In 2 types vehicle classification, recognition rate is 83% by template matching method.
