We present the simultaneous measurement of beam divergence and source size based on the APS diagnostic undulator line. A 300-μm-thick Si(400) crystal monochromator is used to measure the divergence with a resolution down to 3 μrad (1 μrad with the third harmonic). X-rays transmitted through the crystal are simultaneously used by a pinhole camera to measure the beam size, at a resolution of abou...

Time resolved studies of colliding laser produced magnesium plasmas are performed using a pinhole camera. A ruby laser pulse is split into two beams using a movable glass wedge and focused onto a planar target or targets placed at 90° to each other. A gated pinhole camera provides an orthogonal view of the collision. Measurements with an aluminum filter allowed identification of soft x-ray prod...

Figure 1 shows an example of a light field camera with a pinhole mask in front of the sensor. If we look at the sensor in 1D and assume an total x-resolution of 900 pixels and a Θ resolution of 9, the local x resolution is 100. The disadvantages are therefore a loss in resolution and a loss of light, as most of the light gets blocked by the mask. Therefore, while this model is very clean on a t...

This paper proposes a technique for using infrared (IR) imagery to eliminate false forward-looking ground penetrating radar (FLGPR) detections by examining areas in IR images corresponding to FLGPR alarm locations. The FLGPR and IR co-location is based on the assumption of a flat earth and the pinhole camera model. The parameters of the camera and its location on the vehicle are not assumed to ...

BACKGROUND A prototype anthropomorphic head and neck phantom has been designed to simulate the adult head and neck anatomy including some internal organs and tissues of interest, such as thyroid gland and sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). The design of the head and neck phantom includes an inner jig holding the simulated SLNs and thyroid gland. The thyroid gland structure was manufactured using thre...

We present a simple reconstruction algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) incoherent source distributions imaged by a laterally scanned pinhole camera. We consider digital sampling of multiple pinhole images for 3D reconstruction and implement an experimental demonstration with lateral resolution of 2x10(-3) rad and longitudinal resolution of approximately 0.14z(2) m , where z is the object-to-pi...

The performances of a compact infrared optical system using advanced pinhole optics for wide field applications are given. This concept is adapted from the classical Tisse design in order to fit with infrared issues. Despite a low light gathering efficiency and a low resolution in comparison with classical lenses, pinhole imagery provides a long depth of field and a wide angular field of view. ...

The wireless channel of backscatter radio systems is a two-way pinhole channel, created by the concatenation of two standard wireless channels. Pinhole channels cause higher attenuation and deeper fades than common wireless channels. Passive ultra-high frequency radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID) is such a backscatter radio system, with the backscattering tag acting as pinhole. While the...
