  • Publication number: 20210232090
    Abstract: The accuracy of estimation of a focal distance in digital holography is enhanced. In an image reproduction method, a two-dimensional power spectrum is generated from an interference fringe image generated from object light and reference light, the two-dimensional power spectrum having an intensity specified by a first frequency in a first direction and a second frequency in a second direction. A one-dimensional power spectrum is generated by, for each frequency component specified by the first frequency and the second frequency in the two-dimensional power spectrum, associating the frequency component with a feature quantity, the feature quantity being calculated by aggregating a plurality of intensities corresponding to the frequency component. A focal distance between an object and a detector is estimated using a trained distance estimation model, the trained distance estimation model receiving, as input, a plurality of feature quantities included in the one-dimensional power spectrum.

  • Publication number: 20210089952
    Abstract: A model estimator (11) estimates a model function of an analyzing system (20) based on target observation data and reference observation data. For this estimation, the amount of variation between the model of the target system and that of a reference model is estimated from the target observation data and reference observation data. The model function of the target model is estimated after the observation data are corrected based on the estimated amount of variation. A parameter determiner (12) calculates an acquisition function based on the mean and covariance of the model function, and determines a parameter value for the next observation, using the acquisition function. A data acquirer (13) sets the parameter value in the analyzing system (20) and acquires a corresponding observed value. A loop process with the feedback of the observation data is repeated to determine an optimal parameter value.

  • Patent number: 9606072
    Abstract: In an X-ray inspecting apparatus, a rotational fluctuation amount of a stage is calculated around a power transmission part of the stage and a stage drive unit as a base point, i.e., the X-axis and Y-axis sliding parts, in accordance with detected positional information from a position detecting sensor. Then, a stage shift amount is calculated in accordance with the rotational fluctuation amount and a distance between the base point and an imaging position on the stage. Here, the stage shift amount corresponds to a positional deviation of the stage at the imaging position caused by an attitude variation of the stage in a yawing direction, and thus is an error in repeated positioning. Accordingly, a tomographic image with high resolution can be generated in consideration of the error in repeated positioning.

  • Patent number: 9476844
    Abstract: Initial values A^1P^1M^1 . . . A^nP^nM^n of parameters representing a geometric relationship between an X-ray tube, a stage and a flat panel X-ray detector are estimated, a least squares solution (p^W)i of characteristic point three-dimensional coordinates is estimated, and only limited parameters are updated until reprojection square errors converge. Thus, based on known radiographic conditions, initial values of the parameters are estimated, and a nonlinear optimization operation is carried out on only the parameters considered, in view of mechanisms and drive characteristics of the apparatus, to have large errors between the initial values of the parameters and the parameters at a time when radiography is actually carried out. As a result, the calculation can be speeded up, while securing the convergence accuracy of the nonlinear optimization operation, by using the radiographic conditions, i.e. information on tomography.
