Book Computer Vision for Microscopy Image Analysis

Download or read book Computer Vision for Microscopy Image Analysis written by Mei Chen and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a computer scientist working on image analysis? Are you a biologist seeking tools to process the microscopy data from image-based experiments? Computer Vision for Microscopy Image Analysis provides a comprehensive and in-depth discussion of modern computer vision techniques, in particular deep learning, for microscopy image analysis that will advance your efforts. Progress in imaging techniques has enabled the acquisition of large volumes of microscopy data and made it possible to conduct large-scale, image-based experiments for biomedical discovery. The main challenge and bottleneck in such experiments is the conversion of "big visual data" into interpretable information. Visual analysis of large-scale microscopy data is a daunting task. Computer vision has the potential to automate this task. One key advantage is that computers perform analysis more reproducibly and less subjectively than human annotators. Moreover, high-throughput microscopy calls for effective and efficient techniques as there are not enough human resources to advance science by manual annotation. This book articulates the strong need for biologists and computer vision experts to collaborate to overcome the limits of human visual perception, and devotes a chapter each to the major steps in analyzing microscopy images, such as detection and segmentation, classification, tracking, and event detection. Discover how computer vision can automate and enhance the human assessment of microscopy images for discovery Grasp the state-of-the-art approaches, especially deep neural networks Learn where to obtain open-source datasets and software to jumpstart his or her own investigation

Book Experimental Study and Redesign of a Vision Based Control System for Microassembly Workstation

Download or read book Experimental Study and Redesign of a Vision Based Control System for Microassembly Workstation written by Sergio López-Dóriga Guerra and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vision based control (or visual servoing) for the mechanical manipulation of micro particles is the main eld of work of this thesis. Micromanipulation of micro- electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is an everyday more common technique in a wide variety of industries such as the automotive or the biomedicine. In conjunction with the micromanipulator, the vision based control deals, using computer vision methods, with the analysis of images grabbed from a microscope and, depending on the data extracted, takes the necessary control decisions. In this thesis, the redesign of the current vision module of a Micro Assembly Workstation (MAW) is the rst task done. With a recently bought new microscope, special emphasis in this rst step is given to the mechanical design of its holder. The main objective of the design is in one hand to provide the microscope with two motions corresponding to the two DOF it has: focus adjuster and magni cation (vertical movement). On the other hand, a compact design tting in the existent workstation module is presented, reducing as far as possible the vibrations and or deviations in the microscope movements. Once the microscope is fully operational, an auto focus algorithm is developed in order to reach automatically the desired magni cation while preserving the optimum focus level at the nal position image. A 3-dimensional system (magni cation step - focus step - sharpness) is the basis for the algorithm development.

Book An Introduction to 3D Computer Vision Techniques and Algorithms

Download or read book An Introduction to 3D Computer Vision Techniques and Algorithms written by Boguslaw Cyganek and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-10 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer vision encompasses the construction of integrated vision systems and the application of vision to problems of real-world importance. The process of creating 3D models is still rather difficult, requiring mechanical measurement of the camera positions or manual alignment of partial 3D views of a scene. However using algorithms, it is possible to take a collection of stereo-pair images of a scene and then automatically produce a photo-realistic, geometrically accurate digital 3D model. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the methods, theories and algorithms of 3D computer vision. Almost every theoretical issue is underpinned with practical implementation or a working algorithm using pseudo-code and complete code written in C++ and MatLab®. There is the additional clarification of an accompanying website with downloadable software, case studies and exercises. Organised in three parts, Cyganek and Siebert give a brief history of vision research, and subsequently: present basic low-level image processing operations for image matching, including a separate chapter on image matching algorithms; explain scale-space vision, as well as space reconstruction and multiview integration; demonstrate a variety of practical applications for 3D surface imaging and analysis; provide concise appendices on topics such as the basics of projective geometry and tensor calculus for image processing, distortion and noise in images plus image warping procedures. An Introduction to 3D Computer Vision Algorithms and Techniques is a valuable reference for practitioners and programmers working in 3D computer vision, image processing and analysis as well as computer visualisation. It would also be of interest to advanced students and researchers in the fields of engineering, computer science, clinical photography, robotics, graphics and mathematics.

Book Mobile Microrobotics

Download or read book Mobile Microrobotics written by Metin Sitti and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first textbook on micron-scale mobile robotics, introducing the fundamentals of design, analysis, fabrication, and control, and drawing on case studies of existing approaches. Progress in micro- and nano-scale science and technology has created a demand for new microsystems for high-impact applications in healthcare, biotechnology, manufacturing, and mobile sensor networks. The new robotics field of microrobotics has emerged to extend our interactions and explorations to sub-millimeter scales. This is the first textbook on micron-scale mobile robotics, introducing the fundamentals of design, analysis, fabrication, and control, and drawing on case studies of existing approaches. The book covers the scaling laws that can be used to determine the dominant forces and effects at the micron scale; models forces acting on microrobots, including surface forces, friction, and viscous drag; and describes such possible microfabrication techniques as photo-lithography, bulk micromachining, and deep reactive ion etching. It presents on-board and remote sensing methods, noting that remote sensors are currently more feasible; studies possible on-board microactuators; discusses self-propulsion methods that use self-generated local gradients and fields or biological cells in liquid environments; and describes remote microrobot actuation methods for use in limited spaces such as inside the human body. It covers possible on-board powering methods, indispensable in future medical and other applications; locomotion methods for robots on surfaces, in liquids, in air, and on fluid-air interfaces; and the challenges of microrobot localization and control, in particular multi-robot control methods for magnetic microrobots. Finally, the book addresses current and future applications, including noninvasive medical diagnosis and treatment, environmental remediation, and scientific tools.
