On the real number line, a point is represented by a real number x if x is finite. Infinity in this setting could be represented by the symbol ∞. However, it is more difficult to calculate with infinity. One way to resolve this issue is through a different coordinate system call homogeneous coordinate. For the real line, this looks a lot like fractions. Instead of using one number x ∈ R, we wil...

Abstract Image time series for functional studies frequently vary relatively little from one time point to the next. We describe here a method of compression that calculates the change in signal intensity as a char (one-byte) as opposed to a short or long integer (usually two or four bytes), thus resulting in a compressed file size just over half the size of the original. The calculations and f...
