Development and Acquisition of High Speed/Resolution Imaging Systems

CTS-9512517加州理工学院成立了定量可视化中心（CQV），作为一个重点组织，协调成像的发展和应用。参与该项目的中心人员代表了一个跨学科团队，在成像、高速数据采集和存储以及成像处理等许多领域具有专业知识。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。它的目的是扩大这一领域现有的最先进的技术，从而产生新的、国家和国际上独特的能力。人们试图平衡开发的更大风险与由此产生的更有能力的技术的获取之间的关系。这一努力由工业和政府合作伙伴共同承担，如喷气推进实验室、EPIX公司、General Pixels公司、波音公司和百特医疗保健公司。CQV的活动和拟议的基础设施项目构成了加州理工学院教育和研究环境的一个组成部分，学生、教师、访客和工作人员广泛而深入地参与其中。此外，该中心将通过提供技术和科学转让的手段，在学术界和工业界之间，并通过为学生准备工业工作环境，同样地作为大学和工业界之间的桥梁。＊＊＊

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. ***
