Application Of Tilt Correlation Statistics To Anisoplanatic Optical Turbulence Modeling And Mitigation, Russell C. Hardie, Michael A. Rucci, Santasri Bose-Pillai, Richard Van Hook Sep 2021

Application Of Tilt Correlation Statistics To Anisoplanatic Optical Turbulence Modeling And Mitigation, Russell C. Hardie, Michael A. Rucci, Santasri Bose-Pillai, Richard Van Hook

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Atmospheric optical turbulence can be a significant source of image degradation, particularly in long range imaging applications. Many turbulence mitigation algorithms rely on an optical transfer function (OTF) model that includes the Fried parameter. We present anisoplanatic tilt statistics for spherical wave propagation. We transform these into 2D autocorrelation functions that can inform turbulence modeling and mitigation algorithms. Using these, we construct an OTF model that accounts for image registration. We also propose a spectral ratio Fried parameter estimation algorithm that is robust to camera motion and requires no specialized scene content or sources. We employ the Fried parameter estimation …


Scene Motion Detection In Imagery With Anisoplanatic Optical Turbulence Using A Tilt-Variance-Based Gaussian Mixture Model, Richard L. Van Hook, Russell C. Hardie Sep 2021

Scene Motion Detection In Imagery With Anisoplanatic Optical Turbulence Using A Tilt-Variance-Based Gaussian Mixture Model, Richard L. Van Hook, Russell C. Hardie

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

In long-range imaging applications, anisoplanatic atmospheric optical turbulence imparts spatially- and temporally varying blur and geometric distortions in acquired imagery. The ability to distinguish true scene motion from turbulence warping is important for many image-processing and analysis tasks. The authors present a scenemotion detection algorithm specifically designed to operate in the presence of anisoplanatic optical turbulence. The method models intensity fluctuations in each pixel with a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The GMM uses knowledge of the turbulence tilt-variance statistics. We provide both quantitative and qualitative performance analyses and compare the proposed method to several state-of-the art algorithms. The image data …

Simulation Of Anisoplanatic Lucky Look Imaging And Statistics Through Optical Turbulence Using Numerical Wave Propagation, Michael A. Rucci, Russell C. Hardie, Richard K. Martin Sep 2021

Simulation Of Anisoplanatic Lucky Look Imaging And Statistics Through Optical Turbulence Using Numerical Wave Propagation, Michael A. Rucci, Russell C. Hardie, Richard K. Martin

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper investigates anisoplanatic numerical wave simulation in the context of lucky look imaging. We demonstrate that numerical wave propagation can produce root mean square (RMS) wavefront distributions and probability of lucky look (PLL) statistics that are consistent with Kolmogorov theory. However, the simulated RMS statistics are sensitive to the sampling parameters used in the propagation window. To address this, we propose and validate a new sample spacing rule based on the point source bandwidth used in the propagation and the level of atmospheric turbulence. We use the tuned simulator to parameterize the wavefront RMS probability density function as a …


Advancing Energy Efficiency In Solar Systems: A Comparative Study Of Microchannel Heat Sink Cooling Method For Photovoltaic Cells, Vibhu Sharma Aug 2021

Advancing Energy Efficiency In Solar Systems: A Comparative Study Of Microchannel Heat Sink Cooling Method For Photovoltaic Cells, Vibhu Sharma

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Graduate Student Publications

In the pursuit of renewable energy solutions, solar photovoltaic systems have emerged as a key player in generating clean electricity. However, high operating temperatures pose a significant challenge to their efficiency and longevity, particularly in concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems. This paper reviews and evaluates various cooling strategies, from natural air cooling to advanced techniques like phase change materials, liquid immersion, and jet impingement, to maintain optimal operating temperatures for solar cells. Our study assesses the impact of these cooling methods on PV system performance, cost, and environmental implications. We find that microchannel cooling significantly improves thermal performance, resulting in notable …

Unbiased Automated Quantitation Of Ros Signals In Live Retinal Neurons Of Drosophila Using Fiji/Imagej, Prajakta Deshpande, Neha Gogia, Anuradha Venkatakrishnan Chimata, Amit Singh

Biology Faculty Publications

Numerous imaging modules are utilized to study changes that occur during cellular processes. Besides qualitative (immunohistochemical) or semiquantitative (Western blot) approaches, direct quantitation method(s) for detecting and analyzing signal intensities for disease(s) biomarkers are lacking. Thus, there is a need to develop method(s) to quantitate specific signals and eliminate noise during live tissue imaging. An increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2•-) radicals results in oxidative damage of biomolecules, which leads to oxidative stress. This can be detected by dihydroethidium staining in live tissue(s), which does not rely on fixation and helps prevent stress on tissues. However, …

Electro-Optics and Photonics Faculty Publications

We experimentally probe the multilevel response of GeTe, Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), and 4% tungsten-doped GST (W-GST) phase change materials (PCMs) using two wavelengths of light: 1550 nm, which is useful for telecom-applications, and near-infrared 780 nm, which is a standard wavelength for many experiments in atomic and molecular physics. We find that the materials behave differently with the excitation at the different wavelengths and identify useful applications for each material and wavelength. We discuss thickness variation in the thin films used as well and comment on the interaction of the interface between the material and the substrate with regard to the …
