    Description: The paper discusses uniformly redundant arrays (URA) as applied to coded aperture imaging. The URA system offers the high-transmission characteristics of random arrays as well as a flat sidelobe advantage. The high-transmission yields the imaging of very low-intensity sources and the flat sidelobes provide the suppression of inherent noise which obscures low-contrast sources. Simulations have shown that the URA with shot and background noise produces a better reconstructed object than random arrays without shot or background noise. The URA also offers an arrangement which involves a mosaic of basic URA patterns forming a circular correlation of the object on the picture plane. Thus the information needed to reconstruct the object is contained in an area equal to that of the basic aperture pattern. This smaller required detector is important in applications including X-ray astronomy.

    Description: An investigation is conducted of the behavior of two types of uniformly redundant array (URA) when used for close-up imaging. One URA pattern is a quadratic residue array whose characteristics for imaging planar sources have been simulated by Fenimore and Cannon (1978), while the second is based on m sequences that have been simulated by Gunson and Polychronopulos (1976) and by MacWilliams and Sloan (1976). Close-up imaging is necessary in order to obtain depth information for tomographical purposes. The properties of the two URA patterns are compared with a random array of equal open area. The goal considered in the investigation is to determine if a URA pattern exists which has the desirable defocus properties of the random array while maintaining artifact-free image properties for in-focus objects.

    Description: Coded aperture imaging of gamma ray sources has long promised an improvement in the sensitivity of various detector systems. The promise has remained largely unfulfilled, however, for either one of two reasons. First, the encoding/decoding method produces artifacts, which even in the absence of quantum noise, restrict the quality of the reconstructed image. This is true of most correlation-type methods. Second, if the decoding procedure is of the deconvolution variety, small terms in the transfer function of the aperture can lead to excessive noise in the reconstructed image. It is proposed to circumvent both of these problems by use of a uniformly redundant array (URA) as the coded aperture in conjunction with a special correlation decoding method.
