Nuclear Physics in Photographs

Quantitating nuclear opacification in color Scheimpflug photographs.

PURPOSE To test the validity of the color component subtraction method, a new objective technique of measuring nuclear cataract, and to correlate the tangent values of the different degrees of nuclear opacities to their corresponding subjective nuclear cataract grading using the Lens Opacities Classification System II and to another objective method of measuring nuclear cataract. METHODS Dens...

Frontiers in Nuclear Physics

These are the proceedings of the symposium on “Frontiers in Nuclear Physics” held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef from June 18 to 20, 2009. The workshop concentrated on recent advances in the understanding of the nuclear forces, fewnucleon systems and related topics. Included are a short contribution per talk. ∗ This symposium was supported in parts by funds provided from the Helmholtz Associat...

Nuclear Physics

the first importance. Behnke has demonstrated that the "lean body mass," since it represents the active tissue of a person, is superior to reference standards hitherto proposed for the estimation of physiological functions such as the masses of various organs and tissues and the volumes of the different fluid compartments in the body. In the present article, which has been reprinted as a short ...

A Physics-Motivated Approach to Detecting Sky in Photographs

Sky is among the subject matters frequently seen in photographs and useful for image understanding, processing, and retrieval. We propose a novel approach to sky detection based on color classification, region extraction, and physicsmotivated sky signature validation. First, the color classification is performed to generate a belief map of sky colored pixels. Next, connected components are extr...
