Correcció postural esportiva utilitzant un sensor Kinect

Aquest projecte s’emmarca dins de l’àmbit de la visió per computador, concretament en la utilització de dades de profunditat obtingudes a través d’un emissor i sensor de llum infraroja.El propòsit principal d’aquest projecte és mostrar com adaptar aquestes tecnologies, a l’abast de qualsevol particular, de forma que un usuari durant la pràctica d’una activitat esportiva concreta, rebi informació visual continua dels moviments i gestos incorrectes que està realitzant, en base a uns paràmetres prèviament establerts.L’objectiu d’aquest projecte consisteix en fer una lectura constant en temps real d’una persona practicant una selecció de diverses activitats esportives estàtiques utilitzant un sensor Kinect. A través de les dades obtingudes pel sensor Kinect i utilitzant les llibreries de “skeleton traking” proporcionades per Microsoft s’haurà d’interpretar les dades posturals obtingudes per cada tipus d’esport i indicar visualment i d’una manera intuïtiva els errors que està cometent en temps real, de manera que es vegi clarament a quina part del seu cos realitza un moviment incorrecte per tal de poder corregir-lo ràpidament. El entorn de desenvolupament que s’utilitza per desenvolupar aquesta aplicació es Microsoft Viusal Studio 2010.El llenguatge amb el qual es treballarà sobre Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 és C#

Evaluation epidermal p53 immunostaining by digital image analysis

Digital techniques have been developed and validated to assess semiquantitatively immunohistochemical nuclear staining. Currently visual classification is the standard for qualitative nuclear evaluation. Analysis of pixels that represents the immunohistochemical labeling can be more sensitive, reproducible and objective than visual grading. This study compared two semiquantitative techniques of digital image analysis with three techniques of visual analysis imaging to estimate the p53 nuclear immunostaining. Methods: Sixty-three sun-exposed forearm-skin biopsies were photographed and submitted to three visual analyses of images: the qualitative visual evaluation method (0 to 4 +), the percentage of labeled nuclei and HSCORE. Digital image analysis was performed using ImageJ 1.45p; the density of nuclei was scored per ephitelial area (DensNU) and the pixel density was established in marked suprabasal epithelium (DensPSB). Results: Statistical significance was found in: the agreement and correlation among the visual estimates of evaluators, correlation among the median visual score of the evaluators, the HSCORE and the percentage of marked nuclei with the DensNU and DensPSB estimates. DensNU was strongly correlated to the percentage of p53-marked nuclei in the epidermis, and DensPSB with the HSCORE. Conclusion: The parameters presented herein can be applied in routine analysis of immunohistochemical nuclear staining of epidermis. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

A Survey of Image-based Relighting Techniques

Image-based Relighting (IBRL) has recently attracted a lot of research interest for its ability to relight real objects or scenes, from novel illuminations captured in natural/synthetic environments. Complex lighting effects such as subsurface scattering, interreflection, shadowing, mesostructural self-occlusion, refraction and other relevant phenomena can be generated using IBRL. The main advantage of image-based graphics is that the rendering time is independent of scene complexity as the rendering is actually a process of manipulating image pixels, instead of simulating light transport. The goal of this paper is to provide a complete and systematic overview of the research in Imagebased Relighting. We observe that essentially all IBRL techniques can be broadly classified into three categories (Fig. 9), based on how the scene/illumination information is captured: Reflectance function-based, Basis function-based and Plenoptic function-based. We discuss the characteristics of each of these categories and their representative methods. We also discuss about the sampling density and types of light source(s), relevant issues of IBRL.

Nonlinearity compensation in multi-rate 28 Gbaud WDM systems employing optical and digital techniques under diverse link configurations

Digital back-propagation (DBP) has recently been proposed for the comprehensive compensation of channel nonlinearities in optical communication systems. While DBP is attractive for its flexibility and performance, it poses significant challenges in terms of computational complexity. Alternatively, phase conjugation or spectral inversion has previously been employed to mitigate nonlinear fibre impairments. Though spectral inversion is relatively straightforward to implement in optical or electrical domain, it requires precise positioning and symmetrised link power profile in order to avail the full benefit. In this paper, we directly compare ideal and low-precision single-channel DBP with single-channel spectral-inversion both with and without symmetry correction via dispersive chirping. We demonstrate that for all the dispersion maps studied, spectral inversion approaches the performance of ideal DBP with 40 steps per span and exceeds the performance of electronic dispersion compensation by ~3.5 dB in Q-factor, enabling up to 96% reduction in complexity in terms of required DBP stages, relative to low precision one step per span based DBP. For maps where quasi-phase matching is a significant issue, spectral inversion significantly outperforms ideal DBP by ~3 dB.

Uso del Análisis Digital de Imágenes (ADI) como herramienta para el estudio petrográfico en rocas metamórficas

Los retos en las actividades de innovación en docencia, se basan en la necesidad de proponer nuevos métodos y estrategias que permitan ampliar y armonizar toda clase de recursos que se tengan disponibles, para potencializar los resultados en el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje -- En el caso de la asignatura de rocas metamórficas, es muy común identificar dificultades en los estudiantes en el análisis petrográfico, identificación de minerales, patrones texturales, y relación con curvas de blastesis; por lo anterior se quiso implementar el tratamiento de análisis digital de imágenes (ADI), como una herramienta pedagógica que facilite el aprendizaje de los mismos

Numerical estimation of Carbonate properties using a digital rock physics workflow

Digital rock physics combines modern imaging with advanced numerical simulations to analyze the physical properties of rocks -- In this paper we suggest a special segmentation procedure which is applied to a carbonate rock from Switzerland -- Starting point is a CTscan of a specimen of Hauptmuschelkalk -- The first step applied to the raw image data is a nonlocal mean filter -- We then apply different thresholds to identify pores and solid phases -- Because we are aware of a nonneglectable amount of unresolved microporosity we also define intermediate phases -- Based on this segmentation determine porositydependent values for the pwave velocity and for the permeability -- The porosity measured in the laboratory is then used to compare our numerical data with experimental data -- We observe a good agreement -- Future work includes an analytic validation to the numerical results of the pwave velocity upper bound, employing different filters for the image segmentation and using data with higher resolution
