An image-based red blood cell (RBC) automatic counting system is presented for wild animals blood analysis. Images with 2048×1536-pixel resolution acquired on an optical microscope using Neubauer chambers are used to evaluate RBC counting for three animal species (Leopardus pardalis, Cebus apella and Nasua nasua) and the error found using the proposed method is similar to that obtained for inter observer visual counting method, i.e., around 10%. Smaller errors (e.g., 3%) can be obtained in regions with less grid artifacts. These promising results allow the use of the proposed method either as a complete automatic counting tool in laboratories for wild animal's blood analysis or as a first counting stage in a semi-automatic counting tool.

Application of Image-Based Phenotyping for QTL Identification of Tiller Angle in Rice ( L.).
Plants (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, Gene Engineering Division, National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Rural Development Administration, Jeonju 54874, Republic of Korea.
Rice tiller angle is a key agronomic trait that regulates plant architecture and plays a critical role in determining rice yield. Given that tiller angle is regulated by multiple genes, it is important to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with tiller angle. Recently, with the advancement of imaging technology for plant phenotyping, it has become possible to quickly and accurately measure agronomic traits of breeding populations.

The paper focuses on the seasonal oil accumulation in traditional and super-high density (SHD) olive plantations and its modelling employing image-based linear models. For these purposes, at 7-10-day intervals, fruit samples (cultivar Arbequina, Fasola, Frantoio, Koroneiki, Leccino, Maiatica) were pictured and images segmented to extract the Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) mean pixel values which were re-arranged in 35 RGB-derived colorimetric indexes (). After imaging, the samples were crushed and oil concentration was determined (NIR).

An image-based investigation on color associations among 100 Chinese emotion words.

Image data serves as a valuable resource for investigating relationships between colors and emotions. This study conducts an image-based visual corpus analysis on the color associations of 100 Chinese emotion words, aiming to uncover the pivotal roles of colors in understanding emotional concepts. The study addresses two primary objectives: (i) examining the interrelations among four affective properties (valence, arousal, prototypicality, and emotionality) and four image-based color attributes (Jz: a dimension depicting black-white color distinction, Az: a dimension for green-red, Bz: a dimension for blue-yellow, and color variability) associated with these emotion words; and (ii) assessing the efficacy of image-based color information in profiling affective (dis)similarities among different emotion words.

Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to investigate the prevalence of technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) against women aged 16 and older, using a systematic approach and adherence to established reporting guidelines.
- A total of 17 studies from 32 countries were analyzed, revealing a global prevalence estimate of 30.60%, with reported rates varying widely from 2.2% to 84%.
- Key findings highlighted that digital sexual harassment was the most common form of TFSV (28.54%), indicating a significant gap in understanding women's experiences and the need for standardized definitions and measurement tools to address this issue effectively.
