Image subtraction is essential for transient detection in time-domain astronomy. The point spread function (PSF), photometric scaling, and sky background generally vary with time across the field-of-view imaging data taken ground-based optical telescopes. algorithms need to match these variations of flux variability. An algorithm that can be fully parallelized highly desirable future surveys. H...

Background subtraction is a classic step in a vision-based localization and tracking workflow. Previous studies have compared background subtraction algorithms on publicly available datasets; however comparisons were made only with manually optimized parameters. The aim of this research was to identify the optimal background subtraction algorithm for a set of field hockey videos captured at Eur...

Since the introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) in the United States in 1999, several assays have become commercially available to detect antibodies against WNV. Capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of WNV-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for clinical testing and are available from Focus Diagnostics and PanBi...
