Abstract

An image processing device 1 comprises a processing unit 11 and a training unit 12, and performs noise reduction processing on an image 23 of interest. The processing unit 11 inputs an input image 21 to a CNN and outputs an output image 22 from the CNN. The training unit 12 uses an evaluation function based on the output image 22 and the image 23 of interest to train the CNN on the basis of the value of the evaluation function. The evaluation function includes an error evaluation term that represents an evaluation value related to an error between the output image and the image of interest, and a regularization term that represents an evaluation value related to the difference in pixel value between adjacent pixels in the output image. The image processing device 1 repeats the processing in the processing unit 11 and the processing in the training unit 12 multiple times, and the output image 22 obtained after a certain number of repetitions is taken as a noise-reduced image. Thus, an image processing device and an image processing method are achieved that make it possible to suppress image quality degradation due to CNN overlearning in noise reduction processing using DIP technology.

Abstract

An image processing device (10) comprises a sinogram creating unit (11), a CNN processing unit (12), a convolution integration unit (13), a forward projection calculating unit (14), and a CNN training unit (15). The forward projection calculating unit (14) subjects an output image (23) to a forward projection calculation to create a calculated sinogram (24). The CNN training unit (15) uses an evaluation function including an error evaluation term representing an evaluation value relating to an error between an actual measured sinogram (21) and the calculated sinogram (24), and a regularization term representing an evaluation value relating to a difference in pixel values between adjacent pixels in the output image, to train a CNN on the basis of the values of the evaluation function. As a result, the present invention achieves an image processing device with which it is possible to obtain a tomographic image having reduced noise, by suppressing a deterioration in image quality resulting from CNN overfitting in noise reduction processing employing a DIP technique, when the CNN is trained on the basis of evaluation results of differences between the calculated sinogram and the actual measured sinogram to create a tomographic image of a subject.

Abstract

A dispersion measurement apparatus includes a pulse forming unit, a correlation optical system, a beam splitter, an operation unit, an imaging unit, a spatial filter unit, and a photodetector. The pulse forming unit forms a light pulse train including light pulses having time differences and different center wavelengths. The beam splitter branches the light pulse train passed through a measurement object. The imaging unit disperses one light pulse train and images each light pulse. The spatial filter unit extracts light of a partial region of the other light pulse train. The correlation optical system outputs correlation light including a cross-correlation or an autocorrelation of the extracted light. The photodetector detects a temporal waveform of the correlation light. The operation unit estimates a wavelength dispersion amount in the measurement object based on a feature value of the temporal waveform.

An error between the measured value and an estimated value of the intensity spectrum calculated based on a theoretical relation between an intensity spectrum and a phase spectrum of each of the light inputs, a nonlinear coefficient and a wavelength dispersion value of the light transmission medium, and the intensity spectrum of each of the light outputs is calculated while changing the nonlinear coefficient and the wavelength dispersion value. Further, the nonlinear coefficient and the wavelength dispersion value are determined based on a difference, in a relation between the nonlinear coefficient and the wavelength dispersion value and the error, between the light inputs.

For each coincidence counting event in which a first detector 11 and a second detector 12 have performed coincidence counting of a pair of gamma-ray photons generated by a pair annihilation event of electrons and positrons at a positron emission nuclide 81, the processing unit 20 determines a position at which gamma-ray photons exhibited Compton scattering in a subject 90 on the basis of detection positions and detection times of the gamma-ray photons detected by the first detector 11 and the second detector 12 as well as the position of the positron emission nuclide 81 on the assumption that gamma-ray photons arrived at one of the first detector 11 or the second detector 12 without exhibiting Compton scattering in the subject 90 and that gamma-ray photons arrived at the other after exhibiting Compton scattering in the subject 90. As a result, an image acquisition device and an image acquisition method are achieved, said device and method being capable of acquiring a tomographic image representing anatomical information pertaining to the subject without performing image reconstruction processing.

Abstract

A distance measurement device 1 comprises a light source 2, a light reception unit 5, a control unit 6 and a processing unit 7. The light reception unit 5 includes a photodiode and a charge storage unit that stores a charge which has been generated in the photodiode. The control unit 6 provides, to the light reception unit 5, a control pattern including M frames which instruct whether or not to store the charge in the charge storage unit in each of N periods that are divided with a fixed time T, from the light pulse output timing of the light source 2. When the control pattern is represented by a matrix of M rows and N columns, and the value of an element in the m-th row and the n-th column of this matrix is set to 1 at the time when charge storage is instructed in the n-th period in the m-th frame and the value is set to 0 at the time when non-storage is instructed, all combinations of adjacent two column vectors among N column vectors constituting the matrix satisfy a condition such as the condition that the Hamming distance therebetween is 1. This achieves a device that can reliably carry out distance measurement by the TOF method using a compressed sensing technique.

Abstract

A dispersion measurement apparatus includes a pulse forming unit, a correlation optical system, a photodetection unit, and an operation unit. The pulse forming unit forms a light pulse train including a plurality of light pulses having time differences and center wavelengths different from each other from a measurement target light pulse output from a pulsed laser light source. The correlation optical system receives the light pulse train output from the pulse forming unit and outputs correlation light including a cross-correlation or an autocorrelation of the light pulse train. The photodetection unit detects a temporal waveform of the correlation light output from the correlation optical system. The operation unit estimates a wavelength dispersion amount of the pulsed laser light source based on a feature value of the temporal waveform of the correlation light.
