Processing and Visualization of Light Microscope Images

چکیده
The analysis of three-dimensional structures of tissues and cellular constituents is a fundamental task in Biology and Medicine. Although three-dimensional images, acquired by light microscopes, play an important role in such knowledge domains, their analysis has not been much exploited compared to other imaging technologies, such as X-ray radiography, computerized tomography or magnetic resonance. In light microscopy, the majority of the activities involved in the image analysis (for instance, detection, counting, quantification) is still performed manually. The main difficulties among the others include the fact that the objects under investigation usually have complex structures, large number of cellular elements, shape variations and presence of noise in the acquired images. This paper describes a method for processing and visualization of images obtained with light microscopes. An effective transfer function based on the optical density of the cellular constituents is employed to generate the volumetric visualization. Several real data sets are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

متن کاملComputer Microvision for MEMS
Introduction Computer Microvision is a tool for in situ visualization of the motions of internal structures in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), that operates by combining light microscopy, video imaging, and machine vision. Images of MEMS are magnified with a microscope and projected onto a digital CCD camera. Stroboscopic illumination is used to take temporal sequences of images at multi...
متن کاملPossibility of Early Detection of Bovine Mastitis in Dairy Cows Using Thermal Images Processing
Bovine mastitis (BM) is a prevalent condition on dairy farms, affecting both livestock health and reducing profitability. This study investigated the feasibility of diagnosing BM in Holstein dairy cattle using thermography. To increase the detection between healthy cattle and unhealthy one and to better compare the results from thermal images, a number of parameters including somatic cell count...
متن کاملFace Recognition in Thermal Images based on Sparse Classifier
Despite recent advances in face recognition systems, they suffer from serious problems because of the extensive types of changes in human face (changes like light, glasses, head tilt, different emotional modes). Each one of these factors can significantly reduce the face recognition accuracy. Several methods have been proposed by researchers to overcome these problems. Nonetheless, in recent ye...
