A method for improving accuracy in Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD)-based particle size measurements from inline holograms using flip and replication technique (FRT) is proposed. The FRT extends the length of hologram signals being analyzed, yielding better spatial-frequency resolution of the WVD output. Experimental results verify reduction in measurement error as the length of the hologram signals increases. The proposed method is suitable for particle sizing from holograms recorded using small-sized image sensors.
A new method for measuring object size from in-line holograms by using Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) is proposed. The proposed method has advantages over conventional numerical reconstruction in that it is free from iterative process and it can extract the object size and position with only single computation of the WVD. Experimental verification of the proposed method is presented.
Recently, I have proposed a new method for generating fingerprint templates using the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFRT) in order to realize the optical fingerprint recognition system with the high recognition accuracy and the high robustness against attacks. In the previous study, I evaluated the recognition accuracy and robustness of the generated fingerprint templates by use of the fingerprint data used in the Fingerprint Verification Contest held in 2002 (FVC 2002). The fingerprint templates were generated not only by the DFRTs but the discrete fractional cosine transform (DFCT) and the discrete fractional sine transform (DFST). In the analyses, the fingerprint data to which Gaussian random noise was added were used to obtain the genuine distributions. In this study, first, the genuine fingerprint data in the FVC 2002 are used to obtain the genuine distributions correctly by performing the rotation and shift alignments. The recognition accuracy and robustness are also analyzed for the generated fingerprint templates by use of the equal error rate (EER) and the peak-signal to noise ratio (PSNR) between the original fingerprint image and the inverse-transformed image of the template, respectively. As a result, it is found that the most appropriate templates are the ADs of the DFCT and the DFST with a size of 96 by 96 pixels under the condition that the range of the transforms’ orders is between 0.1 and 1.0 because of the high recognition accuracy (EER is the order of 10-6 %) and the high robustness (PSNR is order of several dB).
An optical information processing system for biometric authentication using the spatial-frequency correlation of input
and registered biometric identifiers is proposed. The merit of our system is to speed up the authentication because it
composed of all optical elements. In this study, we adopted fingerprints as an example of biometric identifiers and
analyzed the basic properties of our system by regarding fingerprints as the 1D finite rectangular wave with a period of
0.5mm and the whole width of 15mm. Concretely, the behavior of the second maximum value of the intensity
distribution of the spatial-frequency correlation function of input and registered fingerprint images was numerically
analyzed by considering the ending points in the input fingerprint. As a result, the threshold level for the fingerprint
recognition in our system was determined. In addition, the effects of the random noise added to the input fingerprint on
the second maximum value were statistically analyzed. Furthermore, the behavior of the second maximum value was
numerically analyzed to investigate the effects of various kinds of shifts of the input fingerprint on the recognition. As a
result, the false reject rate (FRR) was the highest for the transverse shift in comparison with the longitudinal and
rotational shifts.
The authors have been studying thin coaxial-slot antennas for minimally invasive microwave thermal therapy, particularly, microwave interstitial hyperthermia and microwave coagulation therapy (MCT). In hyperthermia treatment, it is important to keep tumor temperature between 42 and 45 degree(s)C without overheating the surrounding normal tissue. Two different feeding ways to antenna elements are presented as practical and effective heating techniques. One is proper combination of coherent and incoherent feedings. The other is on-off power control. In the MCT treatment, however, tumors have to be heated up to at least 60 degree(s)C to coagulate cancer cells but less than 100 degree(s)C to avoid evaporation. The temperature rise in the tumor is so large that the temperature dependence of electrical properties of the tissue should be taken into account. The electrical properties of liver tissue were measured for various temperatures. Temperature distributions around the antenna inserted into the liver are simulated by using the FDTD method and the FDM (Finite Difference Method) where the temperature dependence of electrical properties of the tissue is considered.
