Yeast Morphology Assessment through Automated Image Analysis during Fermentation

Automated cervical cancer screening through image analysis

Automated image analysis of protein localization in budding yeast

MOTIVATION The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the first eukaryotic organism to have its genome completely sequenced. Since then, several large-scale analyses of the yeast genome have provided extensive functional annotations of individual genes and proteins. One fundamental property of a protein is its subcellular localization, which provides critical information about how this protein works...

Automated Assessment and Mapping of Grape Quality through Image-based Color Analysis

The harvest operation for table-grapes and fresh market horticultural fruits is a large and expensive logistical challenge with the choice of harvest dates and locations playing a crucial role in determining the quality of the yield and in determining the efficiency and productivity gain of the entire operation. The choice of harvest dates and locations, particularly in red varieties, is planne...

Activated Sludge Morphology Characterization through an Image Analysis Procedure

This work deals with the development of a digital image analysis procedure to characterize microbial flocs obtained in three different WWTP: a bench-scale Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) dealing with phenol and nitrogen biological removal, a municipal treatment unit (Ilha do Governador, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and an industrial wastewater treatment plant (Ciba – Estrada do Colégio, Rio de Janeir...

Validation of plaster endocast morphology through 3D CT image analysis.

A crucial component of research on brain evolution has been the comparison of fossil endocranial surfaces with modern human and primate endocrania. The latter have generally been obtained by creating endocasts out of rubber latex shells filled with plaster. The extent to which the method of production introduces errors in endocast replicas is unknown. We demonstrate a powerful method of compari...
