The use of chromosome in situ suppression hybridisation with whole chromosome libraries has previously been reported by various research laboratories to be an effective method of identifying specific human chromosomal material. As a clinical cytogenetic service laboratory we have used the technique as a complement to diagnosis by classical chromosome banding. In three examples of structural rea...

Dr. Guy McCormack, PhD., OTR/L, FAOTA, an occupational therapist and retired academic program director based in Seaside, California, provided the cover art for Summer 2023 edition of The Open Journal Occupational Therapy (OJOT). “Tree Life” is a 20” x 24” painting made from acrylic on panel. McCormack has served as educator nearly 50 years. His career includes many notable clinical achievements...

The method presented in this paper answers the following question related to the documentation of mural painting conservation: how can information technology be applied in order to achieve ease of symbolizing and updating, better accuracy, flexible presentation, ease of integration and cross-link with other data? Furthermore, another important issue: are all these possible at a low cost? 1. GRA...

A painting consists of objects which are arranged in specific ways. The art of painting is drawing the objects, which can be considered as known trends, in an expressive manner. Detrended methods are suitable for characterizing the artistic works of the painter by eliminating trends. It means that we study the paintings, regardless of its apparent purpose, as a stochastic process. We apply mult...

This paper presents an algorithm that recognizes an input photo of a painting displayed at a museum exhibition out of 33 paintings in the set. The input photos were taken with a Nokia N93 cell phone, which has a 3 mega-pixel digital camera. The snapshots were taken under different light conditions and from different vantage points. This algorithm would be useful during a museum tour; the touris...

Chinese ink painting is a traditional art that is over three thousand years old. It is a type of non-photorealistic rendering. However, research on Chinese ink painting is scarce. Simulating the behavior of Chinese ink is challenging work because ink moves in a complex manner. This paper presents a new method for simulating ink diffusion based on observation and analysis. The proposed method ca...

research about persian painting (generally, all objects of art), has its own difficulties. one of these difficulties, of course, is that, how was its creation. the creation of any object of art, is a twisted problem, deals with several factors, some apparent some stealth, but never a fixed number of them existed that could act like variables. in this paper, we tried, with help of some obvious c...

This paper presents the algorithm developed, for the EE 368 course project, to identify paintings in query images taken with a camera-phone in the European Gallery of the Cantor Arts Center. The image processing algorithm first extracts the painting of interest, in the center of the photo. It uses edge detection in saturation space, followed by iterative Radon transforms and region removal to f...
