Captive Animal Behavior Study by Video Analysis.

Three video analysis-based applications for the study of captive animal behavior are presented. The aim of the first one is to provide certain parameters to assess drug efficiency by analyzing the movement of a rat. The scene is a three-chamber plastic box.

A Comparison of Some Nature-Inspired Optimization Metaheuristics Applied in Biomedical Image Registration.

Unlabelled: Computational Intelligence Re-meets Medical Image Processing Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms for Diagnosis of Diffuse Lung Diseases BACKGROUND:  In the last decades, new optimization methods based on the nature's intelligence were developed. These metaheuristics can find a nearly optimal solution faster than other traditional algorithms even for high-dimensional optimization problems. All these algorithms have a similar structure, the difference being made by the strategies used during the evolutionary process.

Direct evaluation of erythrocyte aggregability in human, sheep and cow blood samples with a computerized image analysis.

The non-Newtonian properties of blood are caused by the unique properties of red blood cells to aggregate and to deform. Aggregation mechanism of erythrocytes contributes significantly to blood viscosity. Techniques for the assessment of red cell aggregability have major implications for medical practice.
