Experimental Assessment of Mouse Sociability Using an Automated Image Processing Approach

Experimental Assessment of Mouse Sociability Using an Automated Image Processing Approach.

Mouse is the preferred model organism for testing drugs designed to increase sociability. We present a method to quantify mouse sociability in which the test mouse is placed in a standardized apparatus and relevant behaviors are assessed in three different sessions (called session I, II, and III). The apparatus has three compartments (see Figure 1), the left and right compartments contain an in...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Automated Human Bone Age Assessment using Image Processing Methods - Survey

Computers have been widely used in the field of medical research over the past few decades. One of the emerging researches in medical imaging is to estimate age of the live or dead human being. Bone Age Assessment (BAA) is directly proportional to Skeletal (Bone) growth assessment. The study for Age Estimation (AE) has been categorized into two: one from live human where the AE is analysed thro...

Determination of experimental Tumor Volume of a mouse using optical imaging system in different processing stages

Fragmentation measurement using image processing

In this research, first of all, the existing problems in fragmentation measurement are reviewed for the sake of its fast and reliable evaluation. Then, the available methods used for evaluation of blast results are mentioned. The produced errors especially in recognizing the rock fragments in computer-aided methods, and also, the importance of determination of their sizes in the image analysis ...
