Ka-me: a Voronoi image analyzer
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY Ka-me is a Voronoi image analyzer that allows users to analyze any image with a convex polygonal tessellation or any spatial point distribution by fitting Voronoi polygons and their dual, Delaunay triangulations, to the pattern. The analytical tools include a variety of graph theoretic and geometric tools that summarize the distribution of the numbers of edges per face, areas, perimeters, angles of Delaunay triangle edges (anglograms), Gabriel graphs, nearest neighbor graphs, minimal spanning trees, Ulam trees, Pitteway tests, circumcircles and convexhulls, as well as spatial statistics (Clark-Evans Nearest Neighborhood and Variance to Mean Ratio) and export functions for standard relationships (Lewis's Law, Desch's Law and Aboav-Weaire Law). AVAILABILITY Ka-me: a Voronoi image analyzer is available as an executable with documentation and sample applications from the BioQUEST Library (http://bioquest.org/downloads/kame_1.0.rar).

Residuals for spatial point processes based on Voronoi tessellations
A residual analysis method for spatial point processes is proposed, where differences between the modeled conditional intensity and the observed number of points are assessed over the Voronoi cells generated by the observations. The resulting residuals appear to be substantially less skewed and hence more stable, particularly for point processes with conditional intensities close to zero, compa...
متن کاملClinical laboratory evaluation of the Perkin-Elmer KA-150 Enzyme Analyzer.
We evaluated the Perkin-Elmer KA-150 Enzyme Analyzer in a clinical laboratory situation according to a rigid evaluation protocol. The factors evaluated for five commonly assayed enzymes were as follows: (a) rate of analysis of patient samples, (b) analytical linearity, (c) overall precision (within-run and between-day), (d) carry-over from a sample with activity near 1000 U/liter, (e) error det...
متن کاملImage representation using Voronoi tessellation: adaptive and secure
An image is represented by the Voronoi tessellation generated from selected sampling points. Using a multiresolution approach, the density of the sampling points can be adaptive to image properties: smoother regions will have fewer sampling points than more detailed regions. The adaptation property results in better image quality than non-adaptive Voronoi representations, while preserving the p...
متن کاملUsing Voronoi tessellations to calculate residuals for spatial point process models
This paper proposes a residual analysis method for spatial point processes where differences between the modeled conditional intensity and the observed number of points are assessed over the Voronoi cells generated by the observations. The resulting residuals are substantially less skewed and more stable than residuals based on a regular grid. These advantages are particularly evident for point...
