3D resistivity anomaly probability tomography at the archaeological site of Sagalassos (Turkey)

The archaeological site of Sagalassos is a very important settlement located in a magnificent mountain landscape, 7 km north from a little village named Aglasun (province of Burdur, SW Turkey). Since 1990 the University of Leuven (Belgium) carry out an interdisciplinary archaeological research programme that study the uninterrupted occupation of more than 1000 years in all its aspects from daily life to architecture, from trade and its mechanisms to environmental conditions of the past. The ancient roman city is a site covered under erosion layers and preserved many secrets that need to be revealed. A geophysical campaign was planned along the south facing terraces of the mountain slopes, in order to highlighting the structure of the city still covered. Site conditions (high slope, high grass, several obstacles) and the need to investigate high depths led to the choice of the most suitable geophysical methods. Particularly a 3D distribution in the subsoil of resistivity tensor probability was esteemed.

3D SHAPES MEASUREMENT SYSTEM USING AN OPTICAL MODULATOR

We have continued research on 3D shapes measurement system using spatial modulator. The advantages of this system are non-contact, non-invasive, and short time measurement. We proposed a method using differentiation to expand the measurable area and improve the accuracy of measurement. Additionally, We proposed to eliminate the influence of marking on target object surface. It was a very practical and effective method.

3D SURFACE INSPECTION WITH A DMD BASED SENSOR

In this paper a method for non-contact scanning of small structures is presented similar to that of confocal microscopy but using the technology of Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD) instead of ordinary pinholes. It offers parallel scanning of various specimen following to a principle, where a DMD is used for illumination and a selective CCD for detection. The fundamental concepts concerning system layout and system performance as well as measurement results with a first experimental demonstrator are presented.

3D SURFACE MICRO TOPOGRAPHY RECOVERY FROM MULTI-FOCUS IMAGES USING MODIFIED LAPLACIAN OPERATOR

Optical microscopy enables the observation of highly magnified objects and material structures on micro surfaces, however with the weakness that it can only acquire 2D images. In order to observe the areal features more accurately and intuitively, 3D surface micro topography recovery is applied to form a 3D surface model of an object from its 2D image sequence. Optical microscope has a limited depth of focus in large magnification, which makes the area within the depth of focus cleared and other area blurred. So this paper firstly acquires image sequence which obtains all useful information in one view by vertical scanning of the microscope. Secondly, each image is calculated by an appropriate focus measure operator to find the maximum focus measure value and form a 2D fused image. Then the maximum value of each pixel is accurately transferred into a distance value, forming a discrete depth map. After conducting interpolation, fitting and color mapping, a smooth and authentic 3D color model of the measured surface is obtained. Various focus measure operators such as grey level variance are used to compare their performances in 3D model recovery. The superiority of the modified Laplacian operator proposed in this paper is proved by experimenting on measured objects with different micro topography features such as ditch shaped and slope shaped structure. In addition, surface roughness information of Ra and Rz is extracted from the formed 3D models.

3D survey and BIM-ready modelling of a Greek Orthodox Church in Athens

This paper explores the application of two widely-used digital technologies, Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry and Building Information Modelling (BIM), in the case of Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture. SfM photogrammetry was used for the 3D documentation of Agioi Anargyroi Greek Orthodox church in Athens, including exterior and internal spaces, using a combination of ground-based and aerial (UAVmounted) photography under rigorous survey control. The resulting point cloud dataset constitutes the primary survey record of the building in its current state (as-existing). Finally, a BIM-ready model of the existing structure was proposed as an alternative method for the production of coordinated 2D drawings and facilitating requirements of subsequent development of the project.

3D VELOCITY PROFILE RECONSTRUCTION OF GAS FLOW IN A PIPE WITH ULTRASONIC TOMOGRAPHY

Beyond possibilities of simple flowmeters, ultrasonic tomography allows to reconstitute the three-dimensional velocity field over a circular pipe cross section. The differences of transit times between transducers distributed around the pipe are used in an iterative algebraic reconstruction algorithm in order to reconstruct the three velocity components. This experimental method has been tested successfully to quantify the 3D velocity field of various flows (fully developed, asymmetric and swirling air flows).

4”, 0.63 Beta Ratio Cone DP Meter Wet Gas Performance

Cone DP meters are often used for unprocessed natural gas flow metering applications. Unprocessed natural gas flows can have entrained water and light hydrocarbon liquids. Hence, it is important to fully understand the wet gas flow response of cone DP meters. One method of metering the gas flow rate of a wet natural gas flow is to estimate the liquid flow rate (usually a mixture of hydrocarbon liquid and water) from an independent source (such as a tracer dilution technique or test separator histories) and then use a wet gas correction factor or "correlation" to correct for the liquid induced gas flow rate error. It is therefore necessary to have a reliable cone DP meter wet gas correlation for wet natural gas flows where the liquid component is a water and / or a light hydrocarbon liquid mixture.

50-OHM MULTIJUNCTION THERMAL CONVERTERS FOR AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS UP TO 100 MHz

Multijunction thermal converters (MJTCs) are in use as standards for ac voltage measurements at frequencies up to 100 MHz. At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), MJTCs based on glassy substrates with 50 Ω input impedances are being developed to align more closely with common practice at high frequencies. Preliminary results indicate that 50 Ω MJTCs with excellent properties can be successfully fabricated.

A  PUPIL SIZE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF FLICKER ON HUMAN BEING

The validation of any new model of the human response to flicker requires proper experimental data. Recently, studies have been carried out with the intent of achieving information relevant to the state of annoyance of a human being subjected to light flicker by analyzing the modification of the pupil size. Indeed, it is well known that pupil diameter changes according to the luminous flux variation. According to such a theory the authors developed a measurement system capable of tracing the pupil size variations in time under flicker conditions. This will result of help for further developing the above theory and confirming its correctness and robustness. The presented measurement system will allow measuring the pupil diameter when subjected to flicker with given amplitude, frequency and colour. The technique and the relative system will be examined through the description of some tests executed to evaluate its performance. The good behaviour of the measurement system suggests its future employment for the analysis of flicker effects on human beings.
