Article Abstract
Validation is the basis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image quantification applications. Based on the point target of the field site, the radiation characteristics of the backscattering coefficient image can be used to optimize the SAR imaging, and the product production system can be more closely targeted, to ensure the image product accuracy in the actual quantification application. In this study, the validation of the backscattering coefficient image was examined using calibrators, and the radiometric properties of the image were evaluated by extracting the radar cross-section of each point target. Bilinear interpolation and fast Fourier transform (FFT) interpolation methods were introduced for the local area interpolation of point targets, and the two methods were compared from the perspective of response function imaging and validation accuracy. The results show that the FFT interpolation method is more favorable for validating the backscattering coefficient.

Significance: Monte Carlo simulation of light propagation in turbid media is important in biomedical optics. Most existing platforms simulate light-tissue interactions in backscattering and planar geometries and are voxel-based, which limits their ability to model curved boundaries accurately. Few platforms incorporate Doppler shifts from flowing media, and they allow limited customization of flow profiles and scattering properties.

In recent years, nanocomposite shields have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional lead ones, with rapidly growing applications in medical and industrial sectors. Although the scattering characteristics of nanocomposite shielding materials have been widely investigated, their backscattering behavior remains unexplored in scientific studies. Therefore, obtaining accurate measurements of gamma photon backscattering is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of nanomaterials in radiation shielding.

This study aims to address the challenges posed by uneven energy amplitude and a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the total focus imaging of coarse-crystalline elastic anisotropic materials. A novel method for acoustic field correction vector-coherent total focus imaging, based on the materials' properties, is proposed. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, a test specimen, an austenitic stainless steel nozzle weld, was employed.

Coherent Doppler wind lidar (CDWL) has been widely used for wind detection, but retrieving aerosol optical properties remains challenging, due to its high sensitivity to turbulence and beam focusing. This study comprehensively evaluates the capabilities and limitations of pulsed CDWL in retrieving aerosol backscatter/extinction coefficient profiles, with a special focus on calibration and error analysis. A self-calibration method for the telescope focus function is proposed and validated through horizontal observations.
