The retina dose-area histogram: a metric for quantitatively comparing rival eye plaque treatment options
PURPOSE Episcleral plaques have a history of over a half century in the delivery of radiation therapy to intraocular tumors such as choroidal melanoma. Although the tumor control rate is high, vision-impairing complications subsequent to treatment remain an issue. Notable, late complications are radiation retinopathy and maculopathy. The obvious way to reduce the risk of radiation damage to the...
متن کاملToward a digital camera to rival the human eye
All things considered, electronic imaging systems do not rival the human visual system despite notable progress over 40 years since the invention of the CCD. This work presents a method that allows design engineers to evaluate the performance gap between a digital camera and the human eye. The method identifies limiting factors of the electronic systems by benchmarking against the human system....
متن کاملGraded Otx2 activities demonstrate dose-sensitive eye and retina phenotypes.
In the human, mutations of OTX2 (Orthodenticle homeobox 2 transcription factor) translate into eye malformations of variable expressivity (even between the two eyes of the same individual) and incomplete penetrance, suggesting the existence of subtle thresholds in OTX2 activity. We have addressed this issue by analyzing retinal structure and function in six mutant mice with graded Otx2 activity...
متن کاملA metric approach for comparing DNA sequences
Purpose – This article attempts to compare two biological successions, in general any two successions, analysing the differences between them. Design/methodology/approach – We designed an algorithm based on a metric which enables us to calculate the associated distance between two successions and based on the distance obtained, we approach the type of mutations which have occurred. Findings – T...
متن کاملA Linear Time Histogram Metric for Improved SIFT Matching
We present a new metric between histograms such as SIFT descriptors and a linear time algorithm for its computation. It is common practice to use the L2 metric for comparing SIFT descriptors. This practice assumes that SIFT bins are aligned, an assumption which is often not correct due to quantization, distortion, occlusion etc. In this paper we present a new Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) varian...
