When motion blur is considered, the optics point spread function (PSF) is conventionally assumed to be fixed, and therefore cascading of the motion optical transfer function (OTF) with the optics OTF is allowed. However, in angular motion conditions, the image is distorted by space-variant effects of wavefront aberrations, defocus, and motion blur. The proposed model considers these effects and...

This paper investigates the usefulness of PSF in software engineering and reengineering. PSF is based on ACP (Algebra of Communicating Processes) and as some architectural description languages are based on process algebra, we investigate whether PSF can be used at the software architecture level, but we also use PSF at lower abstract levels. As a case study we reengineer the compiler from the ...

We present a discussion of the methods that can be used to model the JWST Point Spread Function (PSF) and illustrate some of the potential impacts of the PSF properties on the scientific performance of the telescope. We summarize the quantitative PSF measurements typically used in astronomical imaging and evaluate those quantities on model NIRCam PSFs. These PSFs are generated using optical pat...

This paper presents a novel blind motion deblurring algorithm for dealing with non-uniform motion blurs caused by camera shakes. Conventional motion deblurring algorithms assume the blur can be described by a uniform point spread function (PSF). However, this assumption is typically invalid in practice. We exploit a new representation of motion blurs which models the blur effects of camera shak...

Photo-activation localization microscopy is a far-field superresolution imaging technique based on the localization of single molecules with subdiffraction limit precision. Known under acronyms such as PALM (photo-activated localization microscopy) or STORM (stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy), these techniques achieve superresolution by allowing only a sparse, random set of molecules...

objective(s): the present study was conducted to examine whether the standardized uptake value (suv) may be affected by the spatial position of a lesion in the radial direction on positron emission tomography (pet) images, obtained via two methods based on time-of-flight (tof) reconstruction and point spread function (psf). methods: a cylinder phantom with the sphere (30mm diameter), located in...

PSF is considered to have multiple functions in RNA processing, transcription and DNA repair by mitotic recombination. In the present study, we found that PSF is produced in spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids, suggesting that PSF may also function in meiotic recombination. We tested the effect of PSF on homologous pairing by the meiosis-specific recombinase DMC1, and found that human P...

In this paper, we examine the restoration problem when the point-spread function (PSF) of the degradation system is partially known. For this problem, the PSF is assumed to be the sum of a known deterministic and an unknown random component. This problem has been examined before; however, in most previous works the problem of estimating the parameters that define the restoration filters was not...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that plays an essential role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation. It is over-expressed in many types of cancer, including colon, stomach, breast, and lung cancer, suggesting that regulation of PPARγ might affect cancer pathogenesis. Here, using a proteomic approach, we identify PTB-associated splicing ...
