Despite advancements in optical detection capabilities through imaging systems, including spectral, polarization, and infrared technologies, there is still a lack of effective real-time method for accurately detecting small-size and high-efficient camouflaged people in complex real-world scenes. Here, this study proposes a snapshot multispectral image-based camouflaged detection model, multispectral YOLO(MS-YOLO), which utilizes the SPD-Conv and Sim AM modules to effectively represent targets and suppress background interference by exploiting the spatial-spectral target information. Besides, the study constructs the first real-shot multispectral camouflaged people dataset(MSCPD), which encompasses diverse scenes, target scales, and attitudes. To minimize information redundancy, MS-YOLO selects an optimal subset of 12 bands with strong feature representation and minimal inter-band correlation as input. Through experiments on the MSCPD, MS-YOLO achieves a mean Average Precision of 94.31% and real-time detection at 65 frames per second, which confirms the effectiveness and efficiency of our method in detecting camouflaged people in various typical desert and forest scenes. Our approach offers valuable support to improve the perception capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles in detecting enemy forces and rescuing personnel in battlefield.展开更多

The proposed approach combines spectral and spatial information based on the fusion of features extracted from panchromatic( PAN) and multispectral( MS) images using sparse autoencoder and its deep version. There are three steps in the proposed method,the first one is to extract spatial information of PAN image,and the second one is to describe spectral information of MS image. Finally,in the third step,the features obtained from PAN and MS images are concatenated directly as a simple fusion feature. The classification is performed using the support vector machine( SVM) and the experiments carried out on two datasets with very high spatial resolution. MS and PAN images from WorldView-2 satellite indicate that the classifier provides an efficient solution and demonstrate that the fusion of the features extracted by deep learning techniques from PAN and MS images performs better than that when these techniques are used separately. In addition,this framework shows that deep learning models can extract and fuse spatial and spectral information greatly,and have huge potential to achieve higher accuracy for classification of multispectral and panchromatic images.展开更多

These procedures implement automatic image segmentation in order to classify cell types as cancerous or noncancerous. The authors have developed a new approach aiming to detect colon cancer cells derived from the ＂Snake＂ method but using a progressive division of the dimensions of the image to achieve rapid segmentation. The aim of the present paper was to classify different cancerous cell types based on nine morphological parameters and on probabilistic neural network. Three types of cells were used to assess the efficiency of our classifications models, including BH （Benign Hyperplasia）, IN （Intraepithelial Neoplasia） that is a precursor state for cancer, and Ca （Carcinoma） that corresponds to abnormal tissue proliferation （cancer）. Results showed that among the nine parameters used to classify cells, only three morphologic parameters （area, Xor convex and solidity） were found to be effective in distinguishing the three types of cells. In addition, classification of unknown cells was possible using this method.展开更多

However,these images are taken at different points in time such that eyeball movementscan cause misalignment between consecutive images. The multispectral imagesequence reveals important information in the form of retinal and choroidal bloodvessel maps, which can help ophthalmologists to analyze the morphology of theseblood vessels in detail. This in turn can lead to a high diagnostic accuracy of several diseases. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised end-to-end deeplearning framework called “Adversarial Segmentation and Registration Nets”(ASRNet) for the simultaneous estimation of the blood vessel segmentation andthe registration of multispectral images via an adversarial learning process. ASRNet consists of two subnetworks: (i) A segmentation module S that fulfills theblood vessel segmentation task, and (ii) A registration module R that estimatesthe spatial correspondence of an image pair. Based on the segmention-drivenregistration network, we train the segmentation network using a semi-supervisedadversarial learning strategy. Our experimental results show that the proposedASRNet can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in segmentation and registrationtasks performed with real MSI datasets.展开更多

This study aims to fuse high resolution satellite imagery with low multispectral imagery in order to assist policymakers in the effective planning and management of urban forest ecosystem in Baton Rouge. To accomplish these objectives, Landsat 8 and PlanetScope satellite images were acquired from United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Explorer and Planet websites with pixel resolution of 30m and 3m respectively. The reference images (observed Landsat 8 and PlanetScope imagery) were acquired on 06/08/2020 and 11/19/2020. The image processing was performed in ArcMap and used 6-5-4 band combination for Landsat 8 to visually inspect healthy vegetation and the green spaces. The near-infrared (NIR) panchromatic band for PlanetScope was merged with Landsat 8 image using the Create Pan-Sharpened raster tool in ArcMap and applied the Intensity-Hue-Saturation (IHS) method. In addition, location of urban forestry parks in the study area was picked using the handheld GPS and recorded in an excel sheet. This sheet was converted into Excel (.csv) file and imported into ESRI ArcMap to identify the spatial distribution of the green spaces in East Baton Rouge parish. Results show fused images have better contrast and improve visualization of spatial features than non-fused images. For example, roads, trees, buildings appear sharper, easily discernible, and less pixelated compared to the Landsat 8 image in the fused image. The paper concludes by outlining policy recommendations in the form of sequential measurement of urban forest over time to help track changes and allows for better informed policy and decision making with respect to urban forest management.展开更多

In this study, a non-destructive approach involving multispectral imaging was used to successfully identify hard seeds from non-hard seeds in Medicago sativa, with accuracy as high as96.8%–99.0%. We further adopted multiple-omics strategies to investigate the differences of physiology,metabolomics, methylomics, and transcriptomics in alfalfa hard seeds, with non-hard seeds as control.The hard seeds showed dramatically increased antioxidants and 125 metabolites of significant differences in non-targeted metabolomics analysis, which are enriched in the biosynthesis pathways of flavonoids, lipids and hormones, especially with significantly higher ABA, a hormone known to induce dormancy. In our transcriptomics results, the enrichment pathway of “response to abscisic acid” of differential expressed genes(DEG) supported the key role of ABA in metabolomics results. The methylome analysis identified 54,899, 46,216 and 54,452 differential methylation regions for contexts of CpG, CHG and CHH, and 344 DEGs might be regulated by hypermethylation and hypomethylation of promoter and exon regions, including four ABA-and JA-responsive genes. Among 8% hard seeds in seed lots,24.5% still did not germinate after scarifying seed coat, and were named as non-PY hard seeds.Compared to hard seeds, significantly higher contents of ABA/IAA and ABA/JA were identified in nonPY hard seeds, which indicated the potential presence of PD. In summary, the significantly changed metabolites, gene expressions, and methylations all suggested involvement of ABA responses in hard seeds, and germination failure of alfalfa hard seeds was caused by combinational dormancy(PY + PD),rather than PY alone.展开更多

Rice paper＇s feature extraction and analysis methods are of high significance for the rice paper is an important carrier of traditional Chinese painting arts. In this paper, rice paper＇s morphological feature analysis is done using multi spectral imaging technology. The multispectral imaging system is utilized to acquire rice paper＇s spectral images in different wave- length channels, and then those spectral images are measured using texture parameter statistics to acquire sensitive bands for rice paper＇s feature. The mathematical morphology and grayscale statistical principle are utilized to establish a rice paper＇s morphological feature analytical model which is used to acquire rice paper＇ s one-dimensional vector. For the purpose of eval- uating these feature vectors＇ accuracy, they are entered into the support vector machine（SVM） classifier for detection and classification.

The results indicate that the rice paper＇s feature analytical model can extract most of rice paper＇s features with accuracy and efficiency.展开更多

A low cost multimode multispectral microscope using a camera and a set of quasi-monochromatic Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths as illumination sources was constructed. But the use of a large spectral band provided by non-monochromatic sources induces variation of focal plan of the imager due to chromatic aberration which rises up the diffraction effects and blurs the images causing shadow around them. It results in discrepancies between standard spectra and extracted spectra with microscope. So we need to calibrate that instrument to be a standard one. We proceed with two types of images comparison to choose the reference wavelength for image acquisition where diffraction effect is more reduced. At each wavelength chosen as a reference, one image is well contrasted. First, we compare the thirteen well contrasted images to identify that presenting more reduced shadow. In second time, we determine the mean of the shadow size over the images from each set. The correction of the discrepancies required measurements on filters using a standard spectrometer and the microscope in transmission mode and reflection mode. To evaluate the capacity of our device to transmit information in frequency domain, its modulation transfer function is evaluated. Multivariate analysis is used to test its capacity to recognize properties of well-known sample. The wavelength 700 nm was chosen to be the reference for the image acquisition, because at this wavelength the images are well contrasted. The measurement made on the filters suggested correction coefficients in transmission mode and reflection mode. The experimental instrument recognized the microsphere’s properties and led to the extraction of the standard transmittance and reflectance spectra. Therefore, this microscope is used as a conventional instrument.展开更多

Through experiments on the MSCPD, MS-YOLO achieves a mean Average Precision of 94.31% and real-time detection at 65 frames per second, which confirms the effectiveness and efficiency of our method in detecting camouflaged people in various typical desert and forest scenes. Our approach offers valuable support to improve the perception capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles in detecting enemy forces and rescuing personnel in battlefield.

文摘Facing the very high-resolution( VHR) image classification problem,a feature extraction and fusion framework is presented for VHR panchromatic and multispectral image classification based on deep learning techniques. The proposed approach combines spectral and spatial information based on the fusion of features extracted from panchromatic( PAN) and multispectral( MS) images using sparse autoencoder and its deep version. There are three steps in the proposed method,the first one is to extract spatial information of PAN image,and the second one is to describe spectral information of MS image. Finally,in the third step,the features obtained from PAN and MS images are concatenated directly as a simple fusion feature. The classification is performed using the support vector machine( SVM) and the experiments carried out on two datasets with very high spatial resolution. MS and PAN images from WorldView-2 satellite indicate that the classifier provides an efficient solution and demonstrate that the fusion of the features extracted by deep learning techniques from PAN and MS images performs better than that when these techniques are used separately. In addition,this framework shows that deep learning models can extract and fuse spatial and spectral information greatly,and have huge potential to achieve higher accuracy for classification of multispectral and panchromatic images.

These procedures implement automatic image segmentation in order to classify cell types as cancerous or noncancerous. The authors have developed a new approach aiming to detect colon cancer cells derived from the ＂Snake＂ method but using a progressive division of the dimensions of the image to achieve rapid segmentation. The aim of the present paper was to classify different cancerous cell types based on nine morphological parameters and on probabilistic neural network. Three types of cells were used to assess the efficiency of our classifications models, including BH （Benign Hyperplasia）, IN （Intraepithelial Neoplasia） that is a precursor state for cancer, and Ca （Carcinoma） that corresponds to abnormal tissue proliferation （cancer）. Results showed that among the nine parameters used to classify cells, only three morphologic parameters （area, Xor convex and solidity） were found to be effective in distinguishing the three types of cells. In addition, classification of unknown cells was possible using this method.

文摘Accurate recognition of maize seedlings on the plot scale under the disturbance of weeds is crucial for early seedling replenishment and weed removal.Currently,UAV-based maize seedling recognition depends primarily on RGB images.The main purpose of this study is to compare the performances of multispectral images and RGB images of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)on maize seeding recognition using deep learning algorithms.Additionally,we aim to assess the disturbance of different weed coverage on the recognition of maize seeding.Firstly,principal component analysis was used in multispectral image transformation.Secondly,by introducing the CARAFE sampling operator and a small target detection layer(SLAY),we extracted the contextual information of each pixel to retain weak features in the maize seedling image.Thirdly,the global attention mechanism(GAM)was employed to capture the features of maize seedlings using the dual attention mechanism of spatial and channel information.The CGS-YOLO algorithm was constructed and formed.Finally,we compared the performance of the improved algorithm with a series of deep learning algorithms,including YOLO v3,v5,v6 and v8.The results show that after PCA transformation,the recognition mAP of maize seedlings reaches 82.6%,representing 3.1 percentage points improvement compared to RGB images.Compared with YOLOv8,YOLOv6,YOLOv5,and YOLOv3,the CGS-YOLO algorithm has improved mAP by 3.8,4.2,4.5 and 6.6 percentage points,respectively.With the increase of weed coverage,the recognition effect of maize seedlings gradually decreased.When weed coverage was more than 70%,the mAP difference becomes significant,but CGS-YOLO still maintains a recognition mAP of 72%.Therefore,in maize seedings recognition,UAV-based multispectral images perform better than RGB images.The application of CGS-YOLO deep learning algorithm with UAV multi-spectral images proves beneficial in the recognition of maize seedlings under weed disturbance.

文摘Accurate segmentation of camouflage objects in aerial imagery is vital for improving the efficiency of UAV-based reconnaissance and rescue missions.However,camouflage object segmentation is increasingly challenging due to advances in both camouflage materials and biological mimicry.Although multispectral-RGB based technology shows promise,conventional dual-aperture multispectral-RGB imaging systems are constrained by imprecise and time-consuming registration and fusion across different modalities,limiting their performance.Here,we propose the Reconstructed Multispectral-RGB Fusion Network(RMRF-Net),which reconstructs RGB images into multispectral ones,enabling efficient multimodal segmentation using only an RGB camera.Specifically,RMRF-Net employs a divergentsimilarity feature correction strategy to minimize reconstruction errors and includes an efficient boundary-aware decoder to enhance object contours.Notably,we establish the first real-world aerial multispectral-RGB semantic segmentation of camouflage objects dataset,including 11 object categories.Experimental results demonstrate that RMRF-Net outperforms existing methods,achieving 17.38 FPS on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin,with only a 0.96%drop in mIoU compared to the RTX 3090,showing its practical applicability in multimodal remote sensing.

文摘Information on Land Use and Land Cover Map(LULCM)is essential for environment and socioeconomic applications.Such maps are generally derived from Multispectral Remote Sensing Images(MRSI)via classification.The classification process can be described as information flow from images to maps through a trained classifier.Characterizing the information flow is essential for understanding the classification mechanism,providing solutions that address such theoretical issues as“what is the maximum number of classes that can be classified from a given MRSI?”and“how much information gain can be obtained?”Consequently,two interesting questions naturally arise,i.e.(i)How can we characterize the information flow?and(ii)What is the mathematical form of the information flow?To answer these two questions,this study first hypothesizes that thermodynamic entropy is the appropriate measure of information for both MRSI and LULCM.This hypothesis is then supported by kinetic-theory-based experiments.Thereafter,upon such an entropy,a generalized Jarzynski equation is formulated to mathematically model the information flow,which contains such parameters as thermodynamic entropy of MRSI,thermodynamic entropy of LULCM,weighted F1-score(classification accuracy),and total number of classes.This generalized Jarzynski equation has been successfully validated by hypothesis-driven experiments where 694 Sentinel-2 images are classified into 10 classes by four classical classifiers.This study provides a way for linking thermodynamic laws and concepts to the characterization and understanding of information flow in land cover classification,opening a new door for constructing domain knowledge.

文摘Multispectral imaging plays a crucial role in simultaneously capturing detailed spatial and spectral information,which is fundamental for understanding complex phenomena across various domains.Traditional systems face significant challenges,such as large volume,static function,and limited wavelength selectivity.Here,we propose an innovative dynamic reflective multispectral imaging system via a thermally responsive cholesteric liquid crystal based planar lens.By employing advanced photoalignment technology,the phase distribution of a lens is imprinted to the liquid crystal director.The reflection band is reversibly tuned from 450 nm to 750 nm by thermally controlling the helical pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystal,allowing selectively capturing images in different colors.This capability increases imaging versatility,showing great potential in precision agriculture for assessing crop health,noninvasive diagnostics in healthcare,and advanced remote sensing for environmental monitoring.

文摘Multispectral imaging (MSI) technique is often used to capture imagesof the fundus by illuminating it with different wavelengths of light. However,these images are taken at different points in time such that eyeball movementscan cause misalignment between consecutive images. The multispectral imagesequence reveals important information in the form of retinal and choroidal bloodvessel maps, which can help ophthalmologists to analyze the morphology of theseblood vessels in detail. This in turn can lead to a high diagnostic accuracy of several diseases. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised end-to-end deeplearning framework called “Adversarial Segmentation and Registration Nets”(ASRNet) for the simultaneous estimation of the blood vessel segmentation andthe registration of multispectral images via an adversarial learning process. ASRNet consists of two subnetworks: (i) A segmentation module S that fulfills theblood vessel segmentation task, and (ii) A registration module R that estimatesthe spatial correspondence of an image pair. Based on the segmention-drivenregistration network, we train the segmentation network using a semi-supervisedadversarial learning strategy. Our experimental results show that the proposedASRNet can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in segmentation and registrationtasks performed with real MSI datasets.

文摘An extreme ultraviolet solar corona multispectral imager can allow direct observation of high temperature coronal plasma,which is related to solar flares,coronal mass ejections and other significant coronal activities.This manuscript proposes a novel end-to-end computational design method for an extreme ultraviolet(EUV)solar corona multispectral imager operating at wavelengths near 100 nm,including a stray light suppression design and computational image recovery.To suppress the strong stray light from the solar disk,an outer opto-mechanical structure is designed to protect the imaging component of the system.Considering the low reflectivity(less than 70%)and strong-scattering(roughness)of existing extreme ultraviolet optical elements,the imaging component comprises only a primary mirror and a curved grating.A Lyot aperture is used to further suppress any residual stray light.Finally,a deep learning computational imaging method is used to correct the individual multi-wavelength images from the original recorded multi-slit data.In results and data,this can achieve a far-field angular resolution below 7",and spectral resolution below 0.05 nm.The field of view is±3 R_(☉)along the multi-slit moving direction,where R☉represents the radius of the solar disk.The ratio of the corona's stray light intensity to the solar center's irradiation intensity is less than 10-6 at the circle of 1.3 R_(☉).

文摘The use of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV)for forest monitoring has grown significantly in recent years,providing information with high spatial resolution and temporal versatility.UAV with multispectral sensors allow the use of indexes such as the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI),which determines the vigor,physiological stress and photo synthetic activity of vegetation.This study aimed to analyze the spectral responses and variations of NDVI in tree crowns,as well as their correlation with climatic factors over the course of one year.The study area encompassed a 1.6-ha site in Durango,Mexico,where Pinus cembroides,Pinus engelmannii,and Quercus grisea coexist.Multispectral images were acquired with UAV and information on meteorological variables was obtained from NASA/POWER database.An ANOVA explored possible differences in NDVI among the three species.Pearson correlation was performed to identify the linear relationship between NDVI and meteorological variables.Significant differences in NDVI values were found at the genus level(Pinus and Quercus),possibly related to the physiological features of the species and their phenology.Quercus grisea had the lowest NDVI values throughout the year which may be attributed to its sensitivity to relative humidity and temperatures.Although the use of UAV with a multispectral sensor for NDVI monitoring allowed genera differentiation,in more complex forest analyses hyperspectral and LiDAR sensors should be integrated,as well other vegetation indexes be considered.
文摘In recent years image fusion method has been used widely in different studies to improve spatial resolution of multispectral images. This study aims to fuse high resolution satellite imagery with low multispectral imagery in order to assist policymakers in the effective planning and management of urban forest ecosystem in Baton Rouge. To accomplish these objectives, Landsat 8 and PlanetScope satellite images were acquired from United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Explorer and Planet websites with pixel resolution of 30m and 3m respectively. The reference images (observed Landsat 8 and PlanetScope imagery) were acquired on 06/08/2020 and 11/19/2020. The image processing was performed in ArcMap and used 6-5-4 band combination for Landsat 8 to visually inspect healthy vegetation and the green spaces. The near-infrared (NIR) panchromatic band for PlanetScope was merged with Landsat 8 image using the Create Pan-Sharpened raster tool in ArcMap and applied the Intensity-Hue-Saturation (IHS) method. In addition, location of urban forestry parks in the study area was picked using the handheld GPS and recorded in an excel sheet. This sheet was converted into Excel (.csv) file and imported into ESRI ArcMap to identify the spatial distribution of the green spaces in East Baton Rouge parish. Results show fused images have better contrast and improve visualization of spatial features than non-fused images. For example, roads, trees, buildings appear sharper, easily discernible, and less pixelated compared to the Landsat 8 image in the fused image. The paper concludes by outlining policy recommendations in the form of sequential measurement of urban forest over time to help track changes and allows for better informed policy and decision making with respect to urban forest management.

文摘Physical dormancy(PY) commonly present in the seeds of higher plants is believed to be responsible for the germination failure by impermeable seed coat in hard seeds of legume species, instead of physiological dormancy(PD). In this study, a non-destructive approach involving multispectral imaging was used to successfully identify hard seeds from non-hard seeds in Medicago sativa, with accuracy as high as96.8%–99.0%. We further adopted multiple-omics strategies to investigate the differences of physiology,metabolomics, methylomics, and transcriptomics in alfalfa hard seeds, with non-hard seeds as control.The hard seeds showed dramatically increased antioxidants and 125 metabolites of significant differences in non-targeted metabolomics analysis, which are enriched in the biosynthesis pathways of flavonoids, lipids and hormones, especially with significantly higher ABA, a hormone known to induce dormancy. In our transcriptomics results, the enrichment pathway of “response to abscisic acid” of differential expressed genes(DEG) supported the key role of ABA in metabolomics results. The methylome analysis identified 54,899, 46,216 and 54,452 differential methylation regions for contexts of CpG, CHG and CHH, and 344 DEGs might be regulated by hypermethylation and hypomethylation of promoter and exon regions, including four ABA-and JA-responsive genes. Among 8% hard seeds in seed lots,24.5% still did not germinate after scarifying seed coat, and were named as non-PY hard seeds.Compared to hard seeds, significantly higher contents of ABA/IAA and ABA/JA were identified in nonPY hard seeds, which indicated the potential presence of PD. In summary, the significantly changed metabolites, gene expressions, and methylations all suggested involvement of ABA responses in hard seeds, and germination failure of alfalfa hard seeds was caused by combinational dormancy(PY + PD),rather than PY alone.

Rice paper＇s feature extraction and analysis methods are of high significance for the rice paper is an important carrier of traditional Chinese painting arts. In this paper, rice paper＇s morphological feature analysis is done using multi spectral imaging technology. The multispectral imaging system is utilized to acquire rice paper＇s spectral images in different wave- length channels, and then those spectral images are measured using texture parameter statistics to acquire sensitive bands for rice paper＇s feature. The mathematical morphology and grayscale statistical principle are utilized to establish a rice paper＇s morphological feature analytical model which is used to acquire rice paper＇ s one-dimensional vector. For the purpose of eval- uating these feature vectors＇ accuracy, they are entered into the support vector machine（SVM） classifier for detection and classification. The results show that the rice paper＇s feature is out loud in the spectral band 550 nm, and the average classifi- cation accuracy of feature vectors output from the analytical model is 96 %. The results indicate that the rice paper＇s feature analytical model can extract most of rice paper＇s features with accuracy and efficiency.

文摘A novel fusion method of multispectral image and panchromatic image based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform（NSCT） and non-negative matrix factorization（NMF） is presented,the aim of which is to preserve both spectral and spatial information simultaneously in fused image.NMF is a matrix factorization method,which can extract the local feature by choosing suitable dimension of the feature subspace.Firstly the multispectral image was represented in intensity hue saturation（IHS） system.Then the I component and panchromatic image were decomposed by NSCT.Next we used NMF to learn the feature of both multispectral and panchromatic images＇ low-frequency subbands,and the selection principle of the other coefficients was absolute maximum criterion.Finally the new coefficients were reconstructed to get the fused image.Experiments are carried out and the results are compared with some other methods,which show that the new method performs better in improving the spatial resolution and preserving the feature information than the other existing relative methods.
文摘Feature extraction is the most critical step in classification of multispectral image.The classification accuracy is mainly influenced by the feature sets that are selected to classify the image.In the past,handcrafted feature sets are used which are not adaptive for different image domains.To overcome this,an evolu-tionary learning method is developed to automatically learn the spatial-spectral features for classification.A modified Firefly Algorithm(FA)which achieves maximum classification accuracy with reduced size of feature set is proposed to gain the interest of feature selection for this purpose.For extracting the most effi-cient features from the data set,we have used 3-D discrete wavelet transform which decompose the multispectral image in all three dimensions.For selecting spatial and spectral features we have studied three different approaches namely overlapping window(OW-3DFS),non-overlapping window(NW-3DFS)adaptive window cube(AW-3DFS)and Pixel based technique.Fivefold Multiclass Support Vector Machine(MSVM)is used for classification purpose.Experiments con-ducted on Madurai LISS IV multispectral image exploited that the adaptive win-dow approach is used to increase the classification accuracy.
文摘Multispectral microscopy enables information enhancement in the study of specimens because of the large spectral band used in this technique. A low cost multimode multispectral microscope using a camera and a set of quasi-monochromatic Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths as illumination sources was constructed. But the use of a large spectral band provided by non-monochromatic sources induces variation of focal plan of the imager due to chromatic aberration which rises up the diffraction effects and blurs the images causing shadow around them. It results in discrepancies between standard spectra and extracted spectra with microscope. So we need to calibrate that instrument to be a standard one. We proceed with two types of images comparison to choose the reference wavelength for image acquisition where diffraction effect is more reduced. At each wavelength chosen as a reference, one image is well contrasted. First, we compare the thirteen well contrasted images to identify that presenting more reduced shadow. In second time, we determine the mean of the shadow size over the images from each set. The correction of the discrepancies required measurements on filters using a standard spectrometer and the microscope in transmission mode and reflection mode. To evaluate the capacity of our device to transmit information in frequency domain, its modulation transfer function is evaluated. Multivariate analysis is used to test its capacity to recognize properties of well-known sample. The wavelength 700 nm was chosen to be the reference for the image acquisition, because at this wavelength the images are well contrasted. The measurement made on the filters suggested correction coefficients in transmission mode and reflection mode. The experimental instrument recognized the microsphere’s properties and led to the extraction of the standard transmittance and reflectance spectra. Therefore, this microscope is used as a conventional instrument.

文摘Even though multispectral imaging is considered very significant in biological imaging,it is only commonly used in microscopy in a 2D approach.Here,we present a Fluorescence Molecular Tomography system capable of recording simultaneously tomographic data at several spectral windows,enabling multispectral tomography.3D reconstructed data from several spectral windows is used to construct a linear unmixing algorithm for multispectral deconvolution of overlapping fluorescence signals.The method is applied on tomographic 3D fluorescence concentration maps in tissue-mimicking phantoms,yielding absolute quantification of the concentration of each individual fluorophore.Results are compared to the case when unmixing is performed in the raw 2D data instead of the reconstructed 3D concentration map,showing greater accuracy when unmixing algorithms are applied in the reconstructed data.Both the reflection and transmission geometries are considered.

文摘This paper investigates the appropriate range of values for the transcutaneous blood oxygen saturation(StO2)of granulating tissues and the surrounding tissue that can ensure timely wound recovery.This work has used a multispectral imaging system to collect wound images at wave-lengths ranging between 520 nm and 600 nm with a resolution of 10 nm.As part of this research,a pilot study was conducted on three injured individuals with superfcial wounds of different wound ages at different skin locations.The S_(t)O_(2)value predicted for the examined wounds using the Extended Modified Lambert-Beer model revealed a mean S_(t)O_(2)of 61±10.3%compared to 41.6±6.2%at the surrounding tissues,and 50.1±1.53%for control sites.These preliminary results contribute to the existing knowledge on the possible range and variation of wound bed S_(t)O_(2)that are to be used as indicators of the functioning of the vasomotion system and wound health.This study has concluded that a high S_(t)O_(2)of approximately 60%and a large fuctuation in this value should precede a good progression in wound healing.
