For this project we propose and implement a reading tool on Andriod platform that can be used to identify keywords on paper-based media. We breakdown the image processing after receiving an image of the media into three steps. In the first step, we pre-process the image using binarization, deskew and de-noising. The second step involves using OCR (in particular, Tesseract OCR engine) to recogni...

Cluster Analysis for Large Scale Gene Expression Studies High throughput gene expression analysis is becoming more and more important in many areas of biomedical research. cDNA microarray technology is one very promising approach for high throughput analysis and provides the opportunity to study gene expression patterns on a genomic scale. Thousands or even tens of thousands of genes can be spo...
