Volumetric reconstruction and representation with applications in radiotherapy planningVillemoes, Emma January 2018 (has links)
Optimization and planning of radiation therapy is performed in a treatment planning system. This includes the definition of target structures to be irradiated and organs at risk to be protected, typically performed by contouring structures slice by slice in the image data. Conversions between contours and their volume representations are needed for visualizations and computations, but will however introduce a loss of information due to the sampling to a uniform voxel grid. The number of conversions performed can be large, causing errors to accumulate. The aim of this thesis is to examine volume reconstruction methods and sparse voxel representations for the purpose of volume reconstruction and representation with better accuracy than currently used algorithms in treatment planning systems. A prototype has been shown to be more accurate on contours and potentially cheaper in memory compared to the current method in RayStation in the case where contours represent non-smooth objects.

Industrial Computed Tomography using Proximal AlgorithmZang, Guangming 14 April 2016 (has links)
In this thesis, we present ProxiSART, a flexible proximal framework for robust 3D cone beam tomographic reconstruction based on the Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (SART). We derive the proximal operator for the SART algorithm and use it for minimizing the data term in a proximal algorithm. We show the flexibility of the framework by plugging in different powerful regularizers, and show its robustness in achieving better reconstruction results in the presence of noise and using fewer projections. We compare our framework to state-of-the-art methods and existing popular software tomography reconstruction packages, on both synthetic and real datasets, and show superior reconstruction quality, especially from noisy data and a small number of projections.

Reconstruction volumique d’un jet impactant une surface fendue à partir de champs cinématiques obtenus par PIV stéréoscopique / Volume reconstruction of an impinging jet on a slotted plate by using kinematic fields obtained by stereoscopic PIVHamdi, Jana 12 December 2017 (has links)
Les systèmes de climatisation et de ventilation sont souvent composés de configurations type jets impactant, sur leur partie terminale. Ainsi, les flux d’air soufflés viennent impacter des obstacles munis de fentes, de différentes formes, afin d’améliorer le mélange. Les conditions de confinement et de soufflage provoquent parfois un inconfort au niveau acoustique. Les nuisances acoustiques générées sont dues à un phénomène de boucles de rétroaction se traduisant par l’apparition des sons auto-entretenus. La production du son par un écoulement fluide en champ libre ou en interaction avec une structure a fait l’objet de nombreuses études. Dans le cas d’un champ acoustique et pour un écoulement à faible nombre de Mach la résolution du corollaire énergétique de Howe permet d’évaluer la puissance acoustique générée ou absorbée par les interactions entre le champ acoustique et l’écoulement. Le calcul de cette puissance nécessite la connaissance de trois paramètres : la vorticité, la vitesse et la vitesse acoustique par des méthodes analytiques ou en utilisant des données expérimentales. Expérimentalement, la mesure du champ cinématique, pour en déduire la vorticité, nécessite une technique de mesure tridimensionnelle. Pour cela une plate-forme expérimentale, utilisant de la vélocimétrie Laser, a été développée, et équipée pour générer les écoulements d’un jet plan. Les champs cinématiques de ces écoulements ont été mesurés en utilisant la technique PIV, avec un dispositif de PIV stéréoscopique. Les champs cinématiques de trente plans parallèles ont été mesurés afin d’étudier les champs de vitesses correspondants. Deux méthodes de reconstruction ont été appliquées à ces plans : la POD et la moyenne de phase. Le volume est obtenu par une interpolation des plans reconstruits donnant accès aux trois composantes de la vitesse. Pour valider ces méthodes de reconstruction en 3D à faible coût, elles étaient comparées à des mesures expérimentales réalisées par le même dispositif expérimental, dans les mêmes conditions, par la PIV tomographique donnant accès aux champs cinématiques tridimensionnels. / Air conditioning and ventilation systems are often composed of jets having a configuration of an impinging jet, on their end part. Thus, the blown airflows impact slotted obstacles of different shapes to improve mixing. The conditions of confinement and blowing sometimes cause acoustic incompatibility. The acoustic noises generated are due to a phenomenon of feedback loops resulting of the appearance of self-sustained sounds. The production of sound by a free flow or in interaction with a structure has been the subject of many studies. In the case of an acoustic field and for a flow of low Mach number, Howe's energetic correlation is used to evaluate the acoustic power generated or absorbed by the interactions between the acoustic field and the flow. The calculation of this power requires the knowledge of three parameters : vorticity, velocity and acoustic velocity by analytical methods or by using experimental data. Experimentally, the measurement of the kinematic field, to deduce the vorticity, requires a three-dimensional measurement technique. For this purpose, an experimental platform, using laser velocimetry, has been developed and equipped to generate flows of a plane jet. The kinematic fields of these flows were measured using the PIV technique, with a stereoscopic PIV device. The kinematic fields of thirty parallel planes were measured to study the corresponding velocity fields. Two reconstruction methods have been applied to these plans : the POD and the phase average. The volume is obtained by an interpolation of the reconstructed planes giving access to the three components of the velocity. To validate these low-cost 3D reconstruction methods, they were compared to experimental measurements made by the same experimental setup, under the same conditions, by using the tomographic PIV giving access to the three-dimensional kinematic fields.
