In this presentation we employ a direct X-space deconvolution to estimate particle distributions from MPI data. We report on how the accuracy of those estimations changes as a function of sampling frequency and compare the findings to the MPI core operator

This work shows that it is possible to obtain faster MPI image reconstructions by implementing the algorithms in parallel in Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) using NVIDIA's CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). While the parallel Kaczmarz's algorithm
Arrays of quantum dots (QDs) are a promising candidate system to realize scalable, coupled qubit systems and serve as a fundamental building block for quantum computers. In such semiconductor quantum systems, devices now have tens of individual

It can be useful to register (or overlay) two sets of particle data measured from the same physical sample. However, if the two data sets were collected at different translational or rotational offsets, finding the optimal registration can be a challenge
Airfoil shape design is a classical problem in engineering and manufacturing. In this work, we combine principled physics-based considerations for the shape design problem with modern computational techniques using a data-driven approach. Modern and
In this paper, we prove a compressive sensing guarantee for restricted measurement domains in spherical near-field to far-field transformations for antenna metrology. We achieve this by first defining Slepian functions on a measurement sub-domain $R$ of

Background: High strain-rate deformations of soft materials have several applications which presents an experimental need to measure at-rate 3D volumetric spatial information. While 2D- and 3D-digital image correlation, digital volume correlation, and

Microarrays are essential components of analytical instruments. The elements of microarrays may be imbued with additional functionalities and encodings using composite materials and structures, but traditional microfabrication methods present substantial

Flow cytometry is an invaluable technology in biomedical research, yet it has limited ability to separate inherent sample variability from measurement uncertainty. This limitation makes it difficult to classify sample composition, find rare events, and
Removing distortions in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectra due to interference with the nonresonant background (NRB) is vital for quantitative analysis. Popular computational approaches, the Kramers-Kronig relation and the maximum entropy
Automatic emotion recognition plays a key role in computer-human interaction as it has the potential to enrich the next generation artificial intelligence with emotional intelligence. It finds applications in customer and/or representative behavior

We have developed a phase mapping method based on machine learning analysis of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) images. RHEED produces diffraction patterns containing a wealth of static and dynamic information and is commonly used to

In ultracold-atom experiments, data often comes in the form of images which suffer information loss inherent in the techniques used to prepare and measure the system. This is particularly problematic when the processes of interest are complicated, such as

Grating interferometry is a promising technique to obtain differential phase contrast images with illumination source of low intrinsic transverse coherence. However, retrieving the phase contrast image from the differential phase contrast image is
Image segmentation is the first step in a complex process of object recognition. This report presents a method to gauge the difficulty of segmentation by calculating a scalar parameter Q for an image. This parameter depends on a distribution of the
This document describes the system evaluation tasks supported by the Open Media Forensics Challenge (OpenMFC) 2022. The evaluation plan covers resources, task definitions, task conditions, file formats for system inputs and outputs, evaluation metrics

The current autotuning approaches for quantum dot (QD) devices, while showing some success, lack an assessment of data reliability. This leads to unexpected failures when noisy or otherwise low-quality data is processed by an autonomous system. In this
We introduce a technique, the sparse direct sampling method (sparse-DSM), to estimate properties of a region from signals which probe the region. We demonstrate the sparse-DSM on two separate problems: estimating both the direction-of-arrival of a radio
High-quality recordings of radio frequency (RF) emissions from commercial communication hardware in realistic environments are often needed to develop and assess spectrum-sharing technologies and practices, e.g., for training and testing spectrum sensing

The perceived texture directionality is an important, not fully explored image characteristic. In many applications texture directionality detection is of fundamental importance. Several approaches have been proposed, such as the fast Fourier-based method

The AbsorbanceQ app converts brightfield microscope images into absorbance images that can be analyzed and compared across different operators, microscopes and time. Absorbance-based measurements are comparable, which is useful when the aim is to
Causality is a basic concept in system theory. In this paper we introduce the notions of causal and non-causal indoor localization. A non-causal localization system uses future signal and sensor measurements, in addition to past and present ones, to

Although the concepts of non-uniform sampling (NUS) and non-Fourier spectral reconstruction in multidimensional NMR began to emerge four decades ago (Bodenhausen and Ernst, 1981; Barna and Laue, 1987), it is only relatively recently that NUS has become

To accelerate the adoption of Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) for production, an understanding of MAM process-structure-property (PSP) relationships is indispensable for quality control. A multitude of physical phenomena involved in MAM necessitates the
