Computed axial lithography optimization system

A system for determining a light intensity field for use in manufacturing a 3D object from a volume of material. The system receives a 3D specification of a 3D geometry for the 3D object that specifies voxels within the volume that contain material that is to be part of the 3D object. The system employs a cost function for effectiveness of a light intensity field in manufacturing the 3D object. The cost function may be an adjoint of an Attenuated Radon Transform that models an energy dose that each voxel would receive during manufacture of the 3D object using the light intensity field. The system applies an optimization technique that employs the cost function to generate a measure of the effectiveness of possible light intensity fields and outputs an indication of a light intensity field that will be effective in manufacturing the 3D object.

Ultrasound and X-ray Cross-Characterization of a Graded Impedance Impactor used for Shock-Ramp Compression Experiments

Abstract In this work we perform ultrasound measurements on an impedance graded impactor made by tape casting magnesium, copper, and tungsten. We also destructively extract small representative samples from the part for complementary characterization with x-ray computed tomography. Combining the two data sets enables direct assignment of some of the measured ultrasound features to specific material characteristics identified by x-ray tomography. Our results demonstrate how ultrasound inspection, informed by x-ray computed tomography, can be used to identify sub-millimeter material amalgamations and spatial heterogeneities in this graded material.

Few-view computed tomography reconstruction using deep neural network inference

A system for generating 2D slices of a 3D image of a target volume is provided. The system receives a target sinogram collected during a computed tomography scan of the target volume. The system inputs the target sinogram to a convolutional neural network (CNN) to generate predicted 2D slices of the 3D image. The CNN is trained using training 2D slices of training 3D images. The system initializes 2D slices to the predicted 2D slices. The system reconstructs 2D slices of the 3D image from the target sinogram and the initialized 2D slices.

Reconstruction of dynamic scenes based on differences between collected view and synthesized view

A system for generating a 4D representation of a scene in motion given a sinogram collected from the scene while in motion. The system generates, based on scene parameters, an initial 3D representation of the scene indicating linear attenuation coefficients (LACs) of voxels of the scene. The system generates, based on motion parameters, a 4D motion field indicating motion of the scene. The system generates, based on the initial 3D representation and the 4D motion field, a 4D representation of the scene that is a sequence of 3D representations having LACs. The system generates a synthesized sinogram of the scene from the generated 4D representation. The system adjusts the scene parameters and the motion parameters based on differences between the collected sinogram and the synthesized sinogram. The processing is repeated until the differences satisfy a termination criterion.
