Statistical Imaging for Modeling and Identification of Bacterial Types
نویسندگان
چکیده
An automatic tool is developed to identify microbiological data types using computer-vision and statistical modeling techniques. In bacteriophage (phage) typing, representative profiles of bacterial types are extracted. Currently, systems rely on the subjective reading of the profiles by a human expert. This process is time-consuming and prone to errors. The statistical methodology presented in this work, provides for an automated, objective and robust analysis of the visual data, along with the ability to cope with increasing data volumes. Validation is performed by a comparison to an expert manual segmentation and labeling of the phage profiles.

متن کاملA Fully Integrated Method for Dynamic Rock Type Characterization Development in One of Iranian Off-Shore Oil Reservoir
Rock selection in modeling and simulation studies is usually based on two techniques; routinely defined rock types and those defined by special core analysis (SCAL). The challenge in utilizing these two techniques is that they are frequently assumed to be the same, but in practice, static rock-types (routinely defined) are not always representative of dynamic rock-types (SCAL defined) in the re...
