During acquisition, significant degradation and the advent and growth of the Internet. Furthermore, can occur. Thus in order to design and properly apply commercially available digital cameras, scanners, and various image processing algorithms, knowledge of the other equipment for acquiring, storing, and displaying acquisition process may be essential. digital imagery have become very inexpensive and in­ The optical digital-image acquisition process is creasingly powerful. An excellent treatment of digital im­ perhaps most simply broken up into three stages. The ages and digital image processing can be found in Ref. [1]. first stage is the formation of the continuous optical image A digital image is simply a two-dimensional array of in the focal plane of a lens. We rely on linear systems finite-precision numerical values called picture elements theory to model this. This step is characterized by the (or pixels). Thus a digital image is a spatially discrete (or system point spread function (PSF), as in the case of an discrete-space) signal. In visible grayscale images, for analog photographic camera. Next, this continuous optical example, each pixel represents the intensity of a image is usually sampled in a typical fashion by a detector corresponding region in the scene. The grayscale values array, referred to as the focal-plane array (FPA). Finally, must be quantized into a finite precision format. Typical the values from each detector are quantized to form the resolutions include 8 bit (256 gray levels), 12 bit (4096 final digital image. gray levels), and 16 bit (65536 gray levels). Color visible In this section, we address the incoherent optical image images are most frequently represented by tristimulus formation through the system PSF. In the section values. These are the quantities of red, green, and blue "Resolution and Sampling," we address sampling and light required, in the additive color system, to produce the quantization. There are two main contributors to the desired color. Thus a so-called ''RGB'' color image can be system PSF, one of which is the spatial integration of the thought of as a set of three " grayscale" images-the first finite detector size. A typical FPA is illustrated in Fig. 1. representing the red component, the second the green, and This effect is spatially invariant for a uniform detector the third the blue. array.

Detailed studies of the microglial response after TBI require high throughput quantification of changes in microglial count and morphology in histological sections throughout the brain. In this paper, we present a fully automated end-to-end system that is capable of assessing microglial activation in white matter regions on whole slide images of Iba1 stained sections. Our approach involves the division of the full brain slides into smaller image patches that are subsequently automatically classified into white and grey matter sections. On the patches classified as white matter, we jointly apply functional minimization methods and deep learning classification to identify Iba1-immunopositive microglia. Detected cells are then automatically traced to preserve their complex branching structure after which fractal analysis is applied to determine the activation states of the cells. The resulting system detects white matter regions with 84% accuracy, detects microglia with a performance level of 0.70 (F1 score, the harmonic mean of precision and sensitivity) and performs binary microglia morphology classification with a 70% accuracy.

  • Sampling Theory for Digital Video Acquisition: the Guide for the Perplexed User
    Sampling Theory for Digital Video Acquisition: The Guide for the Perplexed User Prof. Lenny Rudin1,2,3 Ping Yu1 Prof. Jean-Michel Morel2 Cognitech, Inc, Pasadena, California (1) Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, France(2) SMPTE Member (Hollywood Technical Section) (3) Abstract: Recently, the law enforcement community with professional interests in applications of image/video processing technology has been exposed to scientifically flawed assertions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of various hardware image acquisition devices (video digitizing cards). These assertions state a necessity of using SMPTE CCIR-601 standard when digitizing NTSC composite video signals from surveillance videotapes. In particular, it would imply that the pixel-sampling rate of 720*486 is absolutely required to capture all the available video information encoded in the composite video signal and recorded on (S)VHS videotapes. Fortunately, these statements can be directly analyzed within the strict mathematical context of Shannons Sampling Theory, and shown to be wrong. Here we apply the classical Shannon-Nyquist results to the process of digitizing composite analog video from videotapes to dispel the theoretically unfounded, wrong assertions. Introduction: The field of image processing is a mature interdisciplinary science that spans the fields of electrical engineering, applied mathematics, and computer science. Over the last sixty years, this field accumulated fundamental results from the above scientific disciplines. In particular, the field of signal processing has contributed to the basic understanding of the exact mathematical relationship between the world of continuous (analog) images and the digitized versions of these images, when collected by computer video acquisition systems. This theory is known as Sampling Theory, and is credited to Prof.

Hardie It is desirable to obtain a high image quality when designing an imaging system. The design depends on many factors such as the optics, the pitch, and the cost. The effort to enhance one aspect of the image may reduce the chances of enhancing another one, due to some tradeoffs. There is no imaging system capable of producing an ideal image, since that the system itself presents distortion in the image. When designing an imaging system, some tradeoffs favor aliasing, such as the desire for a wide field of view (FOV) and a high signal to noise ratio (SNR).

These tools simulate complete systems consisting of several of the proposed processing components, in a configuration described by a graphical schematic diagram. In this paper, fifteen different medical image processing tools will be compared in several aspects.

In the initial stages of the construction, it applies the advanced technology including 3S (RS, GIS and GPS) techniques, augmented reality, virtual reality and digital image processing techniques, and so on. Virtual image or other information that is created by the computer is superimposed with the surveying district which the observer stands is looking at. When the observer is moving in the district, the virtual information is changing correspondingly, just like the virtual information really exists in true environment. The observer can see the scene of aerodrome if he puts on clairvoyant HMD. If we have structural information of construction in database, AR can supply X-ray of the building just like pipeline, wire and framework in walls. 1.
