PHOTO STORE : Galeria virtual d'imatges

Ofereix a l'usuari la possibilitat de crear la seva pròpia galeria virtual d'imatges, i de classificar-les en àlbums dividits en categories per oferir una catalogació molt més específica. Els àlbums els subdividim públics per aque qualsevol visitant del web (registrat o no) pugui tenir la possibilitat d'accedir-hi,visualitzar i imprimir les fotos; o privats per a l'ús exclusiu de l'usuari que els publica.

Large-Area Photo-Mosaics Using Global Alignment and Navigation Data

Seafloor imagery is a rich source of data for the study of biological and geological processes. Among several applications, still images of the ocean floor can be used to build image composites referred to as photo-mosaics. Photo-mosaics provide a wide-area visual representation of the benthos, and enable applications as diverse as geological surveys, mapping and detection of temporal changes in the morphology of biodiversity. We present an approach for creating globally aligned photo-mosaics using 3D position estimates provided by navigation sensors available in deep water surveys. Without image registration, such navigation data does not provide enough accuracy to produce useful composite images. Results from a challenging data set of the Lucky Strike vent field at the Mid Atlantic Ridge are reported

Selección automática de imágenes. Photo- Storytelling

En este proyecto se estudia como generar un resumen de una colección de fotografías seleccionándolas automáticamente.Se construye un sistema capaz de permitir a un usuario subir una colección de imágenes a una plataforma web, que estás sean procesadas y posteriormente darle la opción de generar un resumen automático de su colección personal.Realizar la selección automática de imágenes es una tarea muy compleja debido a todos los factores a tener en cuenta a la hora de escogerlas. Eventos temporales, estética de las imágenes, personajes que deben o no aparecer en la selección son algunos de los factores importantes y que hay que tener muy en cuenta a la hora de realizar la selección automática.En este proyecto veremos cómo se ha construido el sistema, cómo se ha implementado el algoritmo de selección automática y las mejoras que se han llevado a cabo para mejorarlo en precisión y tiempo de ejecución.Para la evaluación del algoritmo implementado se han realizado pruebas con usuarios que nos han permitido detectar algunos de los problemas del algoritmo.Finalmente, se presentan las conclusiones y el trabajo futuro.

Comparative effects of macro-sized aluminum oxide and aluminum oxide nanoparticles on erythrocyte hemolysis: influence of cell source, temperature and size

Al2O3 is the most abundantly produced nanomaterial and has been used in diverse fields, including the medical, military and industrial sectors. As there are concerns about the health effects of nanoparticles, it is important to understand how they interact with cells, and specifically with red blood cells. The hemolysis induced by three commercial nano-sized aluminum oxide particles (nanopowder 13 nm, nanopowder <50 nm and nanowire 2-6 nm × 200-400 nm) was compared to aluminum oxide and has been studied on erythrocytes from humans, rats and rabbits, in order to elucidate the mechanism of action and the influence of size and shape on hemolytic behavior. The concentrations inducing 50% hemolysis (HC50) were calculated for each compound studied. The most hemolytic aluminum oxide particles were of nanopowder 13, followed by nanowire and nanopowder 50. The addition of albumin to PBS induced a protective effect on hemolysis in all the nano-forms of Al2O3, but not on Al2O3. The drop in HC50 correlated to a decrease in nanomaterial size, which was induced by a reduction of aggregation Aluminum oxide nanoparticles are less hemolytic than other oxide nanoparticles, and behave differently depending on the size and shape of the nanoparticles. The hemolytic behavior of aluminum oxide nanoparticles differs from that of aluminum oxide.
