Abstract

Proses pembinaan semula imej untuk tomografi optik berasaskan CCD dengan empat unjuran dibincangkan dalam kertas kerja ini. Deria imej linear CCD yang digunakan dalam projek ini adalah Sony ILX551A yang mempunyai 2048 piksel dengan saiz piksel 14–mikron. Susunan piksel yang digunakan dalam sistem ini adalah gabungan piksel berbentuk oktagon dan segi empat sama untuk memastikan bahawa cahaya merentasi bilangan baris piksel yang sama pada keempat-empat unjuran. Dua kaedah pembinaan semula imej dibincangkan dan dibandingkan dalam kertas kerja ini – kaedah transpose dan kaedah layergram. Kaedah transpose melibatkan pendaraban dan pembalikan matriks manakala kaedah layergram adalah penambahan nilai–nilai attenuation coefficient. Didapati bahawa kaedah layergram menghasilkan imej yang lebih baik daripada kaedah transpose, dari segi kualiti dan kuantiti (nilai α). Namun, kaedah transpose memerlukan masa pemprosesan yang lebih singkat berbanding kaedah layergram. Kata kunci: Optik; tomografi; CCD; pembinaan semula imej The image reconstruction process for CCD–based optical tomography with four projections is discussed in this paper. The CCD linear image sensor used in the study is a Sony ILX551A which has 2048 pixels with a pixel size of 14-microns. The pixel arrangement used in the system is a combination of octagonal and square pixels to ensure that light passes through the same number of pixel rows on all four projections. Two image reconstruction methods are discussed and compared in the paper – the transpose method and the layergram method. The transpose method involves the multiplication and inversion of matrices while the layergram method is simply the addition of the values of attenuation coefficients. The layergram method was found to produce better images than the transpose method, qualitatively and quantitatively (values of α). However, the transpose method requires a shorter processing time than the layergram method. Key words: Optical; tomography; CCD; image reconstruction
