The document de- scribes the so-called OpenCV 2.x API, which is essentially a C++ API, as opposite to the C-based OpenCV 1.x API. The latter is described in opencv1x.pdf. OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the commercial products. Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it easy for businesses to utilize and modify the code. The library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms, which includes a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning algorithms. These algori- thms can be used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human actions in videos, track camera movements, track moving objects, extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo cameras, stitch images together to produce a high resolution image of an entire 1 scene, find similar images from an image database, remove red eyes from images taken using flash, follow eye movements, recognize scenery and establish markers to overlay it with augmented reali- ty, etc. OpenCV has more than 47 thousand people of user community and estimated number of downloads exceeding 5 million. The library is used extensively in companies, research groups and by governmental bodies. 2 Scilab Image Processing Toolbox SIP [http://siptoolbox.sourceforge.net/] stands for Scilab Image Processing toolbox. SIP in- tends to do imaging tasks such as filtering, blurring, edge detection, thresholding, histogram mani- pulation, segmentation, mathematical morphology, color image processing, etc. These operations are useful for problem solving in real-world applications ranging from car mo- tion planning to automatic diagnosis of medical images. SIP is meant to be a complete, useful, and FREE digital image processing toolbox for Scilab. 3 VIPS VIPS [http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/] is a free image processing system. It is good with large images (images larger than the amount of RAM you have available), with many CPUs (see Benchmarks for examples of SMP scaling, VIPS is also part of the PARSEC suite), for working with colour, for scientific analysis and for general research & development. As well as JPEG, TIFF and PNG images, it also supports scientific formats like FITS, Matlab, Analyze, PFM, Radiance and OpenSlide. Compared to most image processing libraries, VIPS needs little memory and runs quickly, espe- cially on machines with more than one CPU. See the Speed and Memory Use page for a simple benchmark against other similar systems. We have a How it works page with a brief technical explanation of how VIPS calculates pixels. 4 ImageJ ImageJ [http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/] is a public domain, Java-based image processing pro- gram developed at the National Institutes of Health.[1] ImageJ was designed with an open archi- tecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins and recordable macros.[2] Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ’s built-in editor and a Java compiler. User-written plugins make it possible to solve many image processing and analysis problems, from three-dimensional live-cell imaging,[3] to radiological image processing,[4] multiple imaging system data comparisons[5] to automated hematology systems.[6] ImageJ’s plugin architecture and built in development environment has made it a popular platform for teaching image processing.[7][8] ImageJ can be run as an online applet, a downloadable application, or on any computer with a Java 5 or later virtual machine. Downloadable distributions are available for Microsoft Windo- ws, Mac OS, Mac OS X, Linux, and the Sharp Zaurus PDA. The source code for ImageJ is freely available.[9] 5 Marvin Marvin [http://marvinproject.sourceforge.net/] is an extensible, cross-platform and open so- urce image processing framework developed in Java. The framework provides features to: • manipulate images; • manipulate captured video frames; • multithreading image processing; 2 • integrate plug-ins with Graphical User Interface(GUI); • analyze plug-in performance; • extend features via plug-ins; • unit test automation; The image processing algorithms are implemend as a plug-in and can be plugged into other plug-ins, thirdy-party applications and the MarvinEditor - an image editing software. Currently, there are 55 plug-ins available for a wide range of different purposes. 6 MeVisLab MeVisLab [http://www.mevislab.de/] represents a powerful, modular framework for the develo- pment of image processing algorithms and visualization and interaction methods, with a special focus on medical imaging. Besides basic image processing and visualization modules, MeVisLab includes advanced medical imaging algorithms for segmentation, registration, and quantitative mor- phological and functional image analysis. 7 MVTH MVTH - Multipurpose Versatile Test Harness [https://gna.org/projects/mvth] was designed du- ring the PhD work in computer vision algorithms. A need for a rapid prototyping and testing pla- tform, that benefited from the speed and low-level control of the C language (needed for vision algorithms) while allowing for iterative tweaking and visualization during a running session (like say, matlab), was identified. The end result is a core infrastructure that allows one to register your own plugins and reload the plugins into a running session. In this way, you can rapidly test your ideas, and also compare incremental improvements to your algorithms with the results already generated during the previous plugin reload. A few plugins have also been written for MVTH including: the mvth-image plugin containing numerous machine/computer vision algorithms and image processing routines; and the mvth- particlesplugin containing code for using particle filters (a static sampling approach) particularly in the context of computer vision. Other groups have used it for acoustic (sonar) data processing. I’ve tried to design MVTH to be easy to start using right away, especially for those researching machine vision. Though any data analysis algorithm development can benefit directly from its rapid prototyping, visualization, and testing capabilities. 8 Gephex Gephex [http://www.gephex.org/] is a modular video jockey software. The base visuals can be chosen from sources like video files or cameras. Then they can be modified by filters and mixers. Each modifier has several parameters, that can be controlled by signal-generators, input devices like joysticks, sound cards, or midi-devices. 9 Fiji Fiji [http://fiji.sc/] is an image processing package. It can be described as a distribution of ImageJ (and soon ImageJ2) together with Java, Java 3D and a lot of plugins organized into a coherent menu structure. Fiji compares to ImageJ as Ubuntu compares to Linux. The main focus of Fiji is to assist research in life sciences. 3 10 MathMap MathMap [http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/mathmap/] is an image processing appli- cation that works on several levels. Without any prerequisite knowledge about image processing, one can use any of the more than one hundred filters that come bundled with MathMap. More advanced users can combine filters intuitively in the Composer, as pictured above. For expert users MathMap provides a simple but very efficient programming language. This is the core of MathMap and the language that almost all MathMap filters are implemented in GIMP 11 VTK The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) [[http://www.vtk.org/]] is an open-source, freely available sof- tware system for 3D computer graphics, image processing and visualization. VTK consists of a C++ class library and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. Kitware, whose team created and continues to extend the toolkit, offers professional support and consulting services for VTK. VTK supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms including: scalar, vector, tensor, texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques such as: implicit mo- deling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting, contouring, and Delaunay triangulation. VTK has an extensive information visualization framework, has a suite of 3D interaction widgets, sup- ports parallel processing, and integrates with various databases on GUI toolkits such as Qt and Tk. VTK is cross-platform and runs on Linux, Windows, Mac and Unix platforms. 12 Tulip Tulip [http://tulip.labri.fr/] is an information visualization framework dedicated to the ana- lysis and visualization of relational data. Tulip aims to provide the developer with a complete library, supporting the design of interactive information visualization applications for relational data that can be tailored to the problems he or she is addressing. Written in C++ the framework enables the development of algorithms, visual encodings, intera- ction techniques, data models, and domain-specific visualizations. One of the goal of Tulip is to facilitates the reuse of components and allows the developers to

    Stardust: Accessible and Transparent GPU Support for Information Visualization Rendering

    Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis) 2017 Volume 36 (2017), Number 3 J. Heer, T. Ropinski and J. van Wijk (Guest Editors) Stardust: Accessible and Transparent GPU Support for Information Visualization Rendering Donghao Ren1, Bongshin Lee2, and Tobias Höllerer1 1University of California, Santa Barbara, United States 2Microsoft Research, Redmond, United States Abstract Web-based visualization libraries are in wide use, but performance bottlenecks occur when rendering, and especially animating, a large number of graphical marks. While GPU-based rendering can drastically improve performance, that paradigm has a steep learning curve, usually requiring expertise in the computer graphics pipeline and shader programming. In addition, the recent growth of virtual and augmented reality poses a challenge for supporting multiple display environments beyond regular canvases, such as a Head Mounted Display (HMD) and Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE). In this paper, we introduce a new web-based visualization library called Stardust, which provides a familiar API while leveraging GPU’s processing power. Stardust also enables developers to create both 2D and 3D visualizations for diverse display environments using a uniform API. To demonstrate Stardust’s expressiveness and portability, we present five example visualizations and a coding playground for four display environments. We also evaluate its performance by comparing it against the standard HTML5 Canvas, D3, and Vega. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS):

Wrighton3, Tanja Woyke 1, Axel Visel 1, Nikos C. Kyrpides1 and Emiley A. Eloe-Fadrosh 1* Bacteriophages from the Inoviridae family (inoviruses) are characterized by their unique morphology, genome content and infection cycle. One of the most striking features of inoviruses is their ability to establish a chronic infection whereby the viral genome resides within the cell in either an exclusively episomal state or integrated into the host chromosome and virions are continuously released without killing the host. To date, a relatively small number of inovirus isolates have been extensively studied, either for biotechnological applications, such as phage display, or because of their effect on the toxicity of known bacterial pathogens including Vibrio cholerae and Neisseria meningitidis. Here, we show that the current 56 members of the Inoviridae family represent a minute fraction of a highly diverse group of inoviruses. Using a machine learning approach lever- aging a combination of marker gene and genome features, we identified 10,295 inovirus-like sequences from microbial genomes and metagenomes. Collectively, our results call for reclassification of the current Inoviridae family into a viral order including six distinct proposed families associated with nearly all bacterial phyla across virtually every ecosystem.

    Information Graphics Design Challenges and Workflow Management Marco Giardina, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Pablo Medi

    Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies Volume: 3 – Issue: 1 – January - 2013 Information Graphics Design Challenges and Workflow Management Marco Giardina, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Pablo Medina, Sensiel Research, Switzerland Abstract Infographics, though still in its infancy in the digital world, may offer an opportunity for media companies to enhance their business processes and value creation activities. This paper describes research about the influence of infographics production and dissemination on media companies’ workflow management. Drawing on infographics examples from New York Times print and online version, this contribution empirically explores the evolution from static to interactive multimedia infographics, the possibilities and design challenges of this journalistic emerging field and its impact on media companies’ activities in relation to technology changes and media-use patterns. Findings highlight some explorative ideas about the required workflow and journalism activities for a successful inception of infographics into online news dissemination practices of media companies. Conclusions suggest that delivering infographics represents a yet not fully tapped opportunity for media companies, but its successful inception on news production routines requires skilled professionals in audiovisual journalism and revised business models. Keywords: newspapers, visual communication, infographics, digital media technology © Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies 108 Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies Volume: 3 – Issue: 1 – January - 2013 During this time of unprecedented change in journalism, media practitioners and scholars find themselves mired in a new debate on the storytelling potential of data visualization narratives. News organization including the New York Times, Washington Post and The Guardian are at the fore of innovation and experimentation and regularly incorporate dynamic graphics into their journalism products (Segel, 2011).

Jackson14 Respiratory infections are common precursors to asthma exacerbations in children, but molecular immune responses that determine whether and how an infection causes an exacerbation are poorly understood. By using systems-scale network analy- sis, we identify repertoires of cellular transcriptional pathways that lead to and underlie distinct patterns of asthma exacerba- tion. Specifically, in both virus-associated and nonviral exacerbations, we demonstrate a set of core exacerbation modules, among which epithelial-associated SMAD3 signaling is upregulated and lymphocyte response pathways are downregulated early in exacerbation, followed by later upregulation of effector pathways including epidermal growth factor receptor signaling, extracellular matrix production, mucus hypersecretion, and eosinophil activation. We show an additional set of multiple inflam- matory cell pathways involved in virus-associated exacerbations, in contrast to squamous cell pathways associated with nonvi- ral exacerbations. Our work introduces an in vivo molecular platform to investigate, in a clinical setting, both the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and therapeutic targets to modify exacerbations. xacerbations are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality Respiratory epithelial inflammation, in particular IL-33 signaling, in children with asthma and occur despite current treatments.

Transcriptional regulation has been implicated as a potential mechanism in conferring disease risk and neu- ropathology for some PSP genetic risk variants. However, the role of transcriptional changes as potential drivers of distinct cell-specifc tau lesions has not been explored. In this study, we integrated brain gene expression measurements, quantita- tive neuropathology traits and genome-wide genotypes from 268 autopsy-confrmed PSP patients to identify transcriptional associations with unique cell-specifc tau pathologies. We provide individual transcript and transcriptional network associa- tions for quantitative oligodendroglial (coiled bodies = CB), neuronal (neurofbrillary tangles = NFT), astrocytic (tufted astrocytes = TA) tau pathology, and tau threads and genomic annotations of these fndings. We identifed divergent patterns of transcriptional associations for the distinct tau lesions, with the neuronal and astrocytic neuropathologies being the most diferent.

Taking advantage of the data-binding capability of DDG, small multiples are easily created by copying the chart and changing the data for each cloned chart (right). Abstract—In recent years, there is a growing need for communicating complex data in an accessible graphical form. Existing visualization creation tools support automatic visual encoding, but lack flexibility for creating custom design; on the other hand, freeform illustration tools require manual visual encoding, making the design process time-consuming and error-prone. In this paper, we present Data-Driven Guides (DDG), a technique for designing expressive information graphics in a graphic design environment. Instead of being confined by predefined templates or marks, designers can generate guides from data and use the guides to draw, place and measure custom shapes. We provide guides to encode data using three fundamental visual encoding channels: length, area, and position. Users can combine more than one guide to construct complex visual structures and map these structures to data.
