Image Processing
TLDR
The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images.Abstract:
MUCKE aims to mine a large volume of images, to structure them conceptually and to use this conceptual structuring in order to improve large-scale image retrieval. The last decade witnessed important progress concerning low-level image representations. However, there are a number problems which need to be solved in order to unleash the full potential of image mining in applications. The central problem with low-level representations is the mismatch between them and the human interpretation of image content. This problem can be instantiated, for instance, by the incapability of existing descriptors to capture spatial relationships between the concepts represented or by their incapability to convey an explanation of why two images are similar in a content-based image retrieval framework. We start by assessing existing local descriptors for image classification and by proposing to use co-occurrence matrices to better capture spatial relationships in images. The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images. Consequently, we introduce methods which tackle these two problems and compare results to state of the art methods. Note: some aspects of this deliverable are withheld at this time as they are pending review. Please contact the authors for a preview.read more

APEX method and real-time blind deconvolution of scanning electron microscope imagery
TL;DR: Quantitative sharpness analysis of ''ideal sample'' micrographs shows that APEX processing can actually produce sharper imagery than is achievable with optimal microscope settings, and is shown to be useful in enhancing and detecting fine detail not otherwise discernible.

The actin nucleation factor JMY is a negative regulator of neuritogenesis
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the function of JMY in actin nucleation is regulated by an inhibitory activity in cells and that JMY has a previously unrecognized function as a modulator of neuritogenesis.
