The aim of this study was to compare direct visual inspection (DVI) with Pap smear in diagnosis of precancerous lesion of cervix. A total of 1500 women were screened cytologically as well as clinically with direct visual inspection of cervix after application of acetic acid (DVI). A total of 1500 women were screened cytologically as well as clinically with direct visual inspection of cervix aft...

Objective: To determine the accuracy of visual inspection with acetic acid in comparison with Pap smear against colposcopic directed biopsy, for detection of pre-cancerous lesion. Methods: The comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the Maternal and Child Health Centre (MCHC), Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad, from January to December 2010. Every married women...

OBJECTIVE To compare the standard cervical cancer screening procedure--the Papanicolaou test or Pap smear--with detection through visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA), and visual inspection with acetic acid assisted by Aviscope (VIAM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted between October 1998 and December 2000, in two Mixteca regions in Oaxaca, Mexico. A field trial design was us...

Structural visual inspection documentation is essential for monitoring, maintaining, rehabilitating, and reinforcing structures. Close-Range Photogrammetry (CRP) Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) are cutting-edge technologies that commonly used in surveying. In this article, these were integrated to capture a railway bridge. The lower deck lateral surfaces captured using TLS, while the upper dec...

Machine vision technology improves productivity and quality management and provides a competitive advantage to industries that employ this technology. In this article, visual inspection and quality control theory are combined to develop a robust inspection system with manufacturing applications. The inspection process might be defined as the one used to determine if a given product fulfills a p...

A deterministic extractor for an elliptic curve is a function that converts a random point on the curve to a random-looking bit-string, which is statistically close to a uniformly random bit-string. The problem of converting random points of an elliptic curve into random bits has several cryptographic applications. In this talk, we propose two simple and efficient deterministic extractors for a...

An image entails a huge amount of data and information. For this reason, image synthesis and analysis by computer systems requires a high processing time. This represents a handicap in systems where real time processing or an immediate interpretation is demanded as in visual inspection industrial applications. Present work, introduces a computer architecture for the construction of a compact re...

Fluctuations in body movement and visual inspection were measured over minutes in 3-month-old infants to look for evidence of coupling. In Experiment 1, infants (n = 12) looked ad libitum at two identical pictures for an average of 7.3 min. Analysis of the spontaneous fluctuations in movement and inspection revealed that they were inversely coupled: Moment-to-moment changes in movement and insp...
