Development and Acquisition of High Speed/Resolution Imaging Systems

摘要CTS-9512517加州理工学院成立了定量可视化中心，作为一个重点组织，协调成像的发展和应用。参与该中心的人员将参与这一项目，他们代表着一个跨学科团队，他们在成像、高速数据采集和存储以及成像处理等许多领域拥有专业知识。先进成像仪器的开发和获取分为两大类：(1)高速图像采集系统；(2)图像处理、存储和图形系统的进步。它的目的是扩展这一领域目前可用的最先进的能力，产生新的、国内和国际上独一无二的能力。人们试图平衡开发和收购的更大风险，因为技术的能力要强得多。这一努力得到了工业和政府合作伙伴的共同努力，如喷气推进实验室、EPIX，Inc.、General Pixels，Inc.、波音公司和Baxter Healthcare，Inc.。CQV的活动和拟议的基础设施项目构成了加州理工大学教育和研究环境的组成部分，学生、教师、游客和工作人员广泛而密集地参与其中。此外，该中心还将作为大学和工业之间的桥梁，提供技术和科学转移、学术和工业之间的手段，并为学生进入工业工作环境做好准备。***

ABSTRACT CTS-9512517 Caltech has established the Center for Quantitive Visualization (CQV) which serves as a focus organization and coordinates imaging developments and applications. The personnel participating in the Center, who will be involved in this project, represent an interdisciplinary team with expertise in many areas of imaging, high-speed data-acquisition and storage, and imaging-processing. The development and acquisition of advanced imaging instrumentation falls in two broad categories: (1) high-speed image acquisition systems, and (2) advances in image-processing, storage, and graphics systems. It is intended to extend the presently-available, state- of-the-art in this field, resulting in new, nationally and internationally unique capabilities. An attempt is made to balance the greater risks of development versus acquisition by the much more capable technology that would result. This endeavor is shared by industrial and governmental partners, such as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, EPIX, Inc., General Pixels, Inc., Boeing Co. and Baxter Healthcare, Inc. The activities of the CQV and the proposed infrastructure project form an integral part of the educational and research environment at Caltech, with broad and intense participation by students, faculty, visitors, and staff. Furthermore, this center will serve equally as a bridge between university and industry by providing the means for transfer of technology and science, between academia and industry, and by preparing students for the industrial work environment. ***
