Does Modelling Need An Image Consultant?

چکیده
Many of us know the potential benefits of modelling—an improved understanding of the system being considered and the prediction of future scenarios. But who really cares about modelling? Many government bureaucrats and politicians want to know what is going to change in the future but why do many people’s eyes glaze over as soon as modellers start introducing their model? Modelling or a broader area that we could call ‘predictive science’ is in desperate need of an image consultant to encourage decision makers to better understand and support this branch of science but also to help modellers understand and meet their clients’ needs.

In this paper a new automatic method is presented to enhance the image brightness through gamma correction process. Most of current gamma correction methods apply a uniform gamma correction across the image. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method does the gamma correction in a local approach. Thus the method is able to estimate ap...
متن کاملPhantom and clinical evaluation of the effect of full Monte Carlo collimator modelling in post-SIRT yttrium-90 Bremsstrahlung SPECT imaging
BACKGROUND Post-therapy SPECT/CT imaging of 90Y microspheres delivered to hepatic malignancies is difficult, owing to the continuous, high-energy Bremsstrahlung spectrum emitted by 90Y. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of a commercially available software package (HybridRecon, Hermes Medical Solutions AB) which incorporates full Monte Carlo collimator modelling. Analysis of image qualit...
متن کاملDiagnostically lossless video compression for angiogram data using a wavelet-based texture modeling approach
This paper presents a lossy, wavelet-based approach for the compression of digital angiogram video. An analysis of the high-frequency sub-bands of a wavelet decomposition of an angiogram image reveals significantly sized regions containing no diagnostically important information. The encoding of the high-frequency sub-band wavelet coefficients in such regions proves to be burdensome, although i...
متن کاملFast Reconstruction of SAR Images with Phase Error Using Sparse Representation
In the past years, a number of algorithms have been introduced for synthesis aperture radar (SAR) imaging. However, they all suffer from the same problem: The data size to process is considerably large. In recent years, compressive sensing and sparse representation of the signal in SAR has gained a significant research interest. This method offers the advantage of reducing the sampling rate, bu...
متن کاملProducing and Manipulating Information: Private Information Providers Versus Public Information Providers
To reduce the chances of policy failures, policy makers need information about the effects of policies. Sometimes, policy makers can rely on agents who already possess the information. Often, the information does not exist yet. This raises two questions. First, how much resources should be devoted to the production of information? Second should information be produced by a profitmaximizing firm...
