Screen magnification is an important means to support visually impaired people when working with computers. Many improvements have been made on appropriate software. But unfortunately, in the last years, those improvements where mainly in realization detail. A number of problems remain, that, to our minds, need conceptual rethinking. In this paper, we present a new concept for magnification sof...

A massive foreground cluster lens changes the shapes (shear effect) and number density (magnification effect) of the faint background galaxy population. In this paper we investigate how the shear, magnification and combined information can be used to constrain cluster mass profiles in the weak lensing regime. We develop maximum likelihood techniques to make quantitative predictions for each of ...

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images were obtained of a phantom containing 1 mm diameter vessels. The iodine concentrations ranged from 5 to 50 mg/cc, which permitted the determination of the detection threshold concentration of iodine. The source to image receptor distance was 105 cm, and image magnification was varied between 1.15 and 2.0. One experiment was performed at an input expo...

The ability to amplify or reduce subtle image changesover time is useful in contexts such as video editing, medicalvideo analysis, product quality control and sports. In thesecontexts there is often large motion present which severelydistorts current video amplification methods that magnifychange linearly. In this work we propose a method to copewith large motions while ...

PURPOSE Over the last ten years, there has been an extensive growth in the development of microSPECT imagers. Most of the systems are based on the combination of conventional, relatively large gamma cameras with poor intrinsic spatial resolution and multipinhole collimators working in large magnification mode. Spatial resolutions range from 0.58 to 0.76 mm while peak sensitivities vary from 0.0...

We present a fast algorithm to produce light curves of distant stars undergoing microlensing near critical curves. The need these type algorithms is motivated by recent observations events at high redshift and extreme magnification factors. relies on low-resolution computation the deflection field due an ensemble microlenses curves, takes advantage slowly varying nature infer unresolved images.
