Three-dimensional computerized ionospheric tomography (3DCIT) is an important tool for the reconstruction of electron density distributions in the ionosphere through effective use of the GNSS data. More specifically, the 3DCIT technique is able to resolve the three-dimensional electron density distributions over the reconstructed area based on the GNSS slant total electron content (STEC) observations. We present an Improved Constrained Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique (ICSIRT) algorithm that differs from the traditional ionospheric tomography methods in 3 ways. First, the ICSIRT computes the electron density corrections based on the product of the intercept and electron density within voxels so that the assignment of corrections at different heights becomes more reasonable. Second, an Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation is used to restrict the electron density values in the voxels not traversed by GNSS rays, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the reconstructed region. Also, to improve the reconstruction accuracy around the HmF2 (the peak height of the F2 layer) altitude, a multiresolution grid is adopted in the vertical direction, with a 10-km resolution from 200 to 420 km and a 50-km resolution at other altitudes. The new algorithm has been applied to the GNSS data over the European and North American regions in different case studies that involve different seasonal conditions as well as a major storm. In the European region experiment, reconstruction results show that the new ICSIRT algorithm can effectively improve the reconstruction of the GNSS data. The electron density profiles retrieved from ICSIRT are much closer to the ionosonde observations than those from its predecessor, namely, the Constrained Simultaneous Iteration Reconstruction Technique (CSIRT). The reconstruction accuracy is significantly improved. In the North American region experiment, the electron density profiles in ICSIRT results show better agreement with incoherent scatter radar observations than CSIRT, even for the topside profiles.

The virtual volume is obtained thanks to a reconstruction algorithm based on projections of X-rays sent through the industrial part to inspect. In order to compensate uncertainties in the projections such as scattering or beam-hardening, which are cause of many artifacts in conventional filtered backprojection methods, iterative reconstruction methods bring further information by enforcing a prior model on the volume to reconstruct, and actually enhance the reconstruction quality. In this context, this thesis proposes new iterative reconstruction methods for the inspection of aeronautical parts made by SAFRAN group. In order to alleviate the computational cost due to repeated projection and backprojection operations which model the acquisition process, iterative reconstruction methods can take benefit from the use of high-parallel computing on Graphical Processor Unit (GPU). In this thesis, the implementation on GPU of several pairs of projector and backprojector is detailed. In particular, a new GPU implementation of the matched Separable Footprint pair is proposed. Since many of SAFRAN's industrial parts are piecewise-constant volumes, a Gauss-Markov-Potts prior model is introduced, from which a joint reconstruction and segmentation algorithm is derived. This algorithm is based on a Bayesian approach which enables to explain the role of each parameter. The actual polychromacy of X-rays, which is responsible for scattering and beam-hardening, is taken into account by proposing an error-splitting forward model. Combined with Gauss-Markov-Potts prior on the volume, this new forward model is experimentally shown to bring more accuracy and robustness. At last, the estimation of the uncertainties on the reconstruction is investigated by variational Bayesian approach. In order to have a reasonable computation time, it is highlighted that the use of a matched pair of projector and backprojector is necessary.

X-ray microdensitometry of wood: A review of existing principles and devices / Philippe Jacquin in Dendrochronologia, vol 42 (March 2017)

Density is related to wood quality, biomass, carbon content, tree growth and climate. Wood microdensitometry is particularly used in dendrochronology and climatology studies. The present study focuses on X-ray based methods used in wood microdensitometry analyses and provides a review of the main available devices. An exhaustive review of 75 works published on this topic in 2014 and 2015 showed that film-based equipment is still commonly used. The three other most popular devices, SilviScan, Itrax and QTRS, are also based on X-ray radiography and deliver results with comparable accuracy, below 50 μm per pixel. X-ray tomography (CT) is still rarely used in wood densitometry. Medical CT scanners currently offer a lower accuracy (above 100 μm per pixel) that is insufficient in most cases for ring or intra-ring scales. Micro-CT scanners offer good performance at the cost of much longer acquisition and reconstruction times.

Within-stem maps of wood density and water content for characterization of species: a case study on three hardwood and two softwood species / Fleur Longuetaud in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 73 n° 3 (September 2016)

Relative water content of lumens is proposed as the best complement to basic specific gravity for discrimination of species with respect to their functioning. Context : X-ray computed tomography (CT) is an efficient tool for analysis of wood properties related to density and water content all along a tree stem. Basic specific gravity, an inherent property of the wood material, is well known and widely used in wood sciences. Aims : The first aim of this study was to describe a method for mapping a set of wood properties within a tree stem. The second objective was to analyze the relations among these properties and to identify the one that offers the best information in addition to basic specific gravity for discrimination of species. Methods : Wood discs were collected at various heights along a tree stem. We used a method consisting of comparing the CT images of the discs in the green state and after oven drying. Finally, 10 variables were computed for 115 trees of five temperate species: green, oven-dry, and basic specific gravities; moisture content; relative water content; relative water content of lumens; and fractions of air, water, free water, and cell walls. Results : Maps of wood properties summarizing the radial and vertical variations were obtained, allowing us to highlight species-specific patterns. The five species were discriminated best when plotted in the plane defined by basic specific gravity and relative water content of lumens. Conclusion : The proposed method is original and simple enough to process large samples. Because it correlated less with basic specific gravity than with moisture content, relative water content of lumens was selected for species characterization. This is the first study of such wood properties at this fine scale within a tree stem, simultaneously and for a substantial number of trees of five species including both hardwoods and softwoods.

A new computerized ionosphere tomography model using the mapping function and an application to the study of seismic-ionosphere disturbance / Jian Kong in Journal of geodesy, vol 90 n° 8 (August 2016)

First, the new solution splits the integration process into four layers along the observation ray, and then, the single-layer model (SLM) is applied to each integration part using a mapping function. Next, the model parameters are estimated layer by layer with the Kalman filtering method by introducing the scale factor (SF) γ to solve the ill-posed problem. Finally, the inversed images of different layers are combined into the final CIT image. We utilized simulated data from 23 IGS GPS stations around Europe to verify the estimation accuracy of the new algorithm; the results show that the new CIT model has better accuracy than the SLM in dense data areas and the CIT residuals are more closely grouped. The stability of the new algorithm is discussed by analyzing model accuracy under different error levels (the max errors are 5TECU, 10TECU, 15TECU, respectively). In addition, the key preset parameter, SFγ, which is given by the International Reference Ionosphere model (IRI2012). The experiment is designed to test the sensitivity of the new algorithm to SF variations. The results show that the IRI2012 is capable of providing initial SF values. Also in this paper, the seismic-ionosphere disturbance (SID) of the 2011 Japan earthquake is studied using the new CIT algorithm. Combined with the TEC time sequence of Sat.15, we find that the SID occurrence time and reaction area are highly related to the main shock time and epicenter. According to CIT images, there is a clear vertical electron density upward movement (from the 150-km layer to the 450-km layer) during this SID event; however, the peak value areas in the different layers were different, which means that the horizontal movement velocity is not consistent among the layers. The potential physical triggering mechanism is also discussed in this paper. Compared with the SLM, the RMS of the new CIT model is improved by 16.78%, while the CIT model could provide the three-dimensional variation in the ionosphere.
