Managing a digital signage infrastructure and distributing content on a per-screen basis is not a trivial task. Then, imagine expanding to more than 4,200 screens in over 1,600 stores located throughout Spain. This was the “New Image” project plan, implemented by Vodafone España, S.A.U., a subsidiary of Vodafone Group Plc – one of the world’s leading mobile telecommunications companies. A key c...

Modern automated microscopes collect digital images at an astonishing pace. Automated image analysis can measure biological phenotypes quantitatively and reliably, and has therefore become a powerful tool for probing a wide variety of biological questions using microscopy. In this tutorial, we acquaint biologists with this important computational field and introduce some basic principles of ima...

Computational phenomics becomes more important in the remarkable advance of functional genomics. For the research of functional genomics, to establish the high-throughput phenotypic screening system is a matter of vital importance. Towards the high-throughput screening system, we have proposed a novel methodology of the phenotypic analysis which is based on the 3-dimensional(3D) model reconstru...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to study gene function in cultured cells. Transfected cell microarrays in principle allow high-throughput phenotypic analysis after gene knockdown by microscopy. But bottlenecks in imaging and data analysis have limited such high-content screens to endpoint assays in fixed cells and determination of global parameters such as viability. Here we have ove...

At the end of the Stanford Linear Accelerator the trans verse distributions of small electron and positron beams (u w 1OOpm) are measured by profile screens. To avoid constant interception and emittance blow-up of the production beams, the beams are deflected with fast magnets on to off-axis screens. One in a 1000 pulses is deflected. The required and achievable resolutions are described in ano...

Programmable diffraction gratings are relevant in optical data processing. One of the adequate device candidates is the in-plane switching liquid crystal cell. This technology, developed initially for liquid crystal screens, has also been studied with two inter-digital electrodes as a diffraction grating. Recently, the apparition of programmable zigzag wall lattices in an in-plane switching con...

Real time computer graphics are limited in that they can only be displayed on projection screens and monitors. Monitors and projection screens cannot be used in live fire training or scenarios in which the displays could be physically damaged by trainees. To address this issue, we have developed projection systems using computer vision based color correction and image processing to project onto...
