Thermal imaging is simply the technique of using the heat given off by an object to produce an image of it or locate it. New thermal imaging frameworks for detection, segmentation and unique feature extraction and similarity measurements for human physiological biometrics recognition are reviewed. The research investigates specialized algorithms that would extract vasculature information, creat...

In imaging medicine the DICOM standard has become a widely accepted and implemented format for the exchange, storage and presentation of medical imaging data. Numerous imaging modalities are supported however there is not a dedicated solution for thermal infrared imaging. We designed and implemented a new proposal for DICOM Thermal Infrared Imaging (TII) using existing DICOM data structures and...

The ACIS front-illuminated CCDs on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory were damaged in the extreme environment of the Earth's radiation belts, resulting in enhanced charge transfer inefficiency (CTI). This produces a row dependence in gain, event grade, and energy resolution. We model the CTI as a function of input photon energy, including the effects of detrapping (charge trailing), shielding ...

To study differences in the time course of attentional orienting triggered by salient peripheral events and by central symbolic precues, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded in response to letter stimuli following spatially informative symbolic or peripheral precues after a cue-target interval (CTI) of either 200 or 700 ms. Stimuli at cued (attended) locations elicited an enhance...

background : breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women today. the importance of breast cancer screening, its role in the timely identification of patients, and the reduction in treatment expenses are considered to be among the highest sanitary priorities of a modern country. thermal imaging clearly possesses a special role in this stage due to rapid diagnosis and use of har...
