background: medical image interpolation is recently introduced as a helpful tool to obtain further information via initial available images taken by tomography systems. this information may be useful for better diagnosis of possible lesions or better tumor delineation at radiation treatment. to do this, deformable image registration algorithms are mainly utilized to perform image interpolation ...

The toxicity of cadmium and zinc at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 microg/l was investigated against the activity of Diplostomum spathaceum (Rudolphi, 1819) cercariae. Over a 24 h exposure period a significant reduction in cercarial activity occurred in solutions of cadmium, zinc, and a mixture of cadmium and zinc at all concentrations. Reduced cercarial activity also occurred in all to...

Parasitoid development, parasitoid-induced host mortality and parasitoid progeny emergence were determined at five constant temperatures for Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders, Muscidifurax zaraptor Kogan and Legner, Spalangia cameroni Perkins and Spalangia endius Walker using pupae of the house fly, Musca domestica L., as hosts. At temperatures of 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees C the median de...

The aim of this study is to quantify the actual urbanization activity near the catchment area in the urban area of interest located in the vicinity of the Agriokalamin River area of Kissonerga Village in Paphos District. Remotely sensed data such as aerial photos, Landsat-5/7 TM/ETM+ and Quickbird image data have been used to track the urbanization activity from 1963 to 2008. In-situ GPS measur...

Abstract: For this year our team participated in the medical image retrieval task. Most of our effort was invested in processing the collection using Metamap to assign Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) concepts to each of the images that included some associated text. This process generated metadata that was added to each image and included the UMLS concept number as well as the primary te...

This paper presents a new approach to flood mapping using satellite synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images that is based on intelligent techniques. In particular, we apply artificial neural networks, self-organizing Kohonen’s maps (SOMs), for SAR image segmentation and classification. Our approach was used to process data from different satellite SAR instruments (ERS-2/SAR, ENVISAT/ASAR, RADARSA...

This paper describes a study on diversity in image search results. One of the first test collections explicitly built to study diversity – the ImageCLEFPhoto 2008 collection – was used in an evaluation exercise in the summer of 2008. Analyzing 200 of the runs submitted by 24 research groups enabled the relationship between precision and result diversity to be studied. In addition, the level of ...

databases (47 as of May 2008), which differ in structure, volume and content, and renders these images (over 520.000 as of May 2008) accessible for research and education. A comfortable search interface for image-browsing and different sorting facilities make it easy to find and arrange individual images. Furthermore, two important co-operations are now facilitating the management of the reprod...
