The image processing handbook

TLDR
In this paper, the acquisition and use of digital images in a wide variety of scientific fields is discussed. But the focus is on high dynamic range imaging in more than two dimensions.
Abstract
"This guide clearly explains the acquisition and use of digital images in a wide variety of scientific fields. This sixth edition features new sections on selecting a camera with resolution appropriate for use on light microscopes, on the ability of current cameras to capture raw images with high dynamic range, and on imaging in more than two dimensions. It discusses Dmax for X-ray images and combining images with different exposure settings to further extend the dynamic range. This edition also includes a new chapter on shape measurements, a review of new developments in image file searching, and a wide range of new examples and diagrams"

A new image analysis method based on topological and fractal parameters to evaluate the angiostatic activity of docetaxel by using the Matrigel assay in vitro

TL;DR: Results indicate that both topological and fractal parameters allowed a characterization of the spatial texture generated by endothelial cells during in vitro angiogenesis, the former being easier to implement in a computer program and faster to calculate.

Fitting an ellipse to an arbitrary shape: implications for strain analysis

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the best-fit ellipse also behaves as if it were deforming passively, which implies that all techniques of strain analysis that were previously restricted to populations of elliptical objects may now be applied to populations with arbitrary shapes.

Angiogenesis in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease

TL;DR: There is angiogenesis in ADPKD and this process may be necessary for cyst cells to grow and may be responsible for increased vascular permeability facilitating fluid secretion into the cysts.

Quantification of afferent vessels shows reduced brain vascular density in subjects with leukoaraiosis.

TL;DR: Findings of decreased afferent vascular density in the area of LA and outside the lesion indicate that LA is a generalized cerebrovascular disease process rather than one confined to deep WM.

On the relationship between satellite‐retrieved surface temperature fronts and chlorophyll a in the western South Atlantic

TL;DR: In this article, the time-space distribution of chlorophyll a in the southwestern Atlantic was examined using 6 years (1998-2003) of sea surface color images from Sea-viewing Wide Field of View Sensor (SeaWiFS).
