Surface Detection Using Local Energy for 3d Confocal Microscope Images

The ability to detect surfaces within confocal microscope images is important for the interpretation of such data. Most detectors are gradient-based, and so are sensitive to noise, and fail to detect some feature types that are important in confocal microscopy. The local energy feature detector developed by Morrone and Owens marks locations where there is congruence of phase in the Fourier comp...

Feature Extraction of Chromosomes from 3D Confocal Microscope Images

An investigation of local energy surface detection integrated with neural network techniques for image segmentation is presented, as applied in the feature extraction of chromosomes from image datasets obtained using an experimental confocal microscope. Use of the confocal microscope enables biologists to observe dividing cells (living or preserved) within a three-dimensional (3-D) volume, that...

3D segmentations of neuronal nuclei from confocal microscope image stacks

In this paper, we present an algorithm to create 3D segmentations of neuronal cells from stacks of previously segmented 2D images. The idea behind this proposal is to provide a general method to reconstruct 3D structures from 2D stacks, regardless of how these 2D stacks have been obtained. The algorithm not only reuses the information obtained in the 2D segmentation, but also attempts to correc...

the effect of using critical discourse analytical tools on the improvement of the learners level of critical thinking in reading comprehension

?it is of utmost priority for an experienced teacher to train the mind of the students, and enable them to think critically and correctly. the most important question here is that how to develop such a crucial ability? this study examines a new way to the development of critical thinking utilizing critical discourse analytical tools. to attain this goal, two classes of senior english la...
