Computer-assisted tree taxonomy by automated image recognition

We present an algorithm that performs image-based queries within the domain of tree taxonomy. As such, it serves as an example relevant to many other potential applications within the field of biodiversity and photo-identification. Unsupervised matching results are produced through a chain of computer vision and image processing techniques, including segmentation and automatic shape matching. T...

Mammographic Computer-Assisted Diagnosis using Computational Statistics Pattern Recognition

Automated Image Interpretation Computer-Assisted Diagnostics

The field of computer-assisted diagnostics is a discipline which has emerged as a result of sustained efforts throughout the clinical and scientific communities to devise systematic procedures and protocols to support physicians in rendering more informed diagnostic decisions. One of the most active and exciting branches of this research focuses on the automated interpretation of medical images...

Computer-assisted pattern recognition of autoantibody results.

Immunoassay-based anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) screens are increasingly used in the initial evaluation of autoimmune disorders, but these tests offer no "pattern information" comparable to the information from indirect fluorescence assay-based screens. Thus, there is no indication of "next steps" when a positive result is obtained. To improve the utility of immunoassay-based ANA screening, we ev...
