This paper described a simple computation to reconstruct 3D surface using a single uncalibrated 2D image from a digital camera as an image acquisition device that also focused on fast processing. An object is placed on a table with black background for the digital camera to shoot an image of the object. Image segmentation methods are applied in order to obtain the shape of the object from silhouette. The concept Radon transform is adopted to generate sinograms of the object and it is then inverse Radon transform is used to construct 2D cross-section of the object layer by layer. Canny edge detection helps to get the outline of each cross-section and coordinate points are extracted forming 3D point cloud from the image slices. 3D surface of the object is then reconstructed using Delaunay triangulation to connect each point with another. The results obtained from this project are satisfying regarding the processing time with recognizable shape and also strengthened with considerably low percentage error in the calculation for all six objects used in the experiment.

AbstractThe study was aimed at the evaluation of the usefulness of textures of the outer surface from the images of apple skin and flesh for discrimination of different cultivars. The texture parameters were calculated from color channels: R, G, B, L, a, b, U, V, H, S, I, X, Y, Z. In the case of cultivar discrimination performed for the apple skin, the highest accuracies were obtained for textures from channels R, a and X. In the case of channels R and a, the apples were classified with the total accuracy of up to 93%. For channel X, the highest total accuracy was 90%. For discrimination based on the textures selected from images of a longitudinal section of apples, the total accuracy reached 100% for channels G, b and U. In the case of the cross-section images, the total accuracies were also satisfactory and reached 93% for channel G, 97% for channels b and U. The obtained results proved that the use of image processing based on textures can allow the discrimination of apple cultivars with a high probability of up to 100% in the case of textures selected from images of a longitudinal section. The results can be applied in practice for cultivar discrimination and detection of the falsification of apple cultivars. The obtained results revealed that texture features can allow for cultivar identification of apples with a very high probability in an inexpensive, objective, and fast way. Graphic abstract

THE USE OF DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING IN ANALYSIS OF BORON, CADMIUM IN THORIUM OXIDEWITHOUT CARRIER DISTILLATION EMISSION SPECTROGRAPH METHOD. The use of digital imageprocessing in direct determination elements of highly absorption cross-section of thermal neutron such as B andCd in nuclear fuel ThO2 without carrier distillation was described. Working and counter electrode should bemodified because volume of the sample was larger than the traditional one. Firstly, analysis of B and Cd in ThO2was recorded by X-ray film for thorax and then was proceeded by mini digital camera. All files in mini digitalcamera were transferred to computer and read by digital image processing of Matlab software. It was found thatall line spectra became Gaussian shape. Since couple of camera position and lightening system had not beendone successfully yet, therefore, quantitative analysis could not been done yet, meanwhile qualitative analysishad already been done by analysis spectra after image processing. It is easier to analysis B and Cd qualitativelyuse of image processing than densitometer instrument.Keywords : Thorium Oxide, Carrier Distillation, Image Processing, Digital Camera

Introduction. Oval root canals are all groups of human teeth. In such canals it is a challenge to fulfill the necessary preconditions for a successful outcome of root canal therapy - complete cleaning, shaping and obturation. Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the shape and diameter of root canals in the apical and middle third of human mandibular molars and premolars, to determine the prevalence and extent of long oval canals. Materials and methods. The study was carried out on 80 extracted human teeth, 40 molars and 40 premolars. The teeth were placed in a specially designed muffle mould and embedded in transparent acrylic resin. After the polymerization of the acrylic resin, the teeth were taken out of the mould and sectioned at levels 3 and 6 mm from the apex. The cross-sections were photographed under 30? magnification using a digital camera. The long and short canal diameter were measured on the images and their ratio calculated. Results. In the apical third 22% of the premolars and 35% of the molars had oval root canal morphology. In the middle third 36% of premolars and 41 % of molars. Conclusion. Root canals of mandibular molars and premolars are often oval in their cross-section. They seem to be more frequently oval in their cross-section than previous studies have shown.

AbstractThe photoabsorption spectra of the carbon ions have been obtained by using two laser-produced plasmas. The photoionization cross-section of the CV has been absolutely measured and the value at threshold, σ=(4.7±0.5) × 10−19cm2, as well as its behaviour at higher energies agrees quite well with the theoretical calculations.

High resolution dark field microscopy is becoming an important tool for the investigation of unstained and specifically stained biological molecules. Of primary consideration to the microscopist is the interpretation of image Intensities and the effects of radiation damage to the specimen. Ignoring inelastic scattering, the image intensity is directly related to the collected elastic scattering cross section, σɳ, which is the product of the total elastic cross section, σ and the eficiency of the microscope system at imaging these electrons, η. The number of potentially bond damaging events resulting from the beam exposure required to reduce the effect of quantum noise in the image to a given level is proportional to 1/η. We wish to compare η in three dark field systems.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

Polyoxymethylene (POM) crystals grow inside trioxane crystals which have been irradiated and heated to a temperature slightly below their melting point. Figure 1 shows a low magnification electron micrograph of a group of such POM crystals. Detailed examination at higher magnification showed that three distinct types of POM crystals grew in a typical sample. The three types of POM crystals were distinguished by the direction that the polymer chain axis in each crystal made with respect to the threefold axis of the trioxane crystal. These polyoxymethylene crystals were described previously.At low magnifications the three types of polymer crystals appeared as slender rods. One type had a hexagonal cross section and the other two types had rectangular cross sections, that is, they were ribbonlike.

Numerous previous studies of outer segments of retinal receptors have demonstrated a complex internal structure of a series of transversely orientated membranous lamellae, discs, or saccules. In cones, these lamellae probably are invaginations of the covering plasma membrane. In rods, however, they appear to be isolated and separate discs although some authors report interconnections and some continuities with the surface near the base of the outer segment, i.e. toward the inner segment. In some species, variations have been reported, such as longitudinally orientated lamellae and lamellar whorls. In cross section, the discs or saccules show one or more incisures. The saccules probably contain photolabile pigment, with resulting potentials after dipole formation during bleaching of pigment. Continuity between the lamina of rod saccules and extracellular space may be necessary for the detection of dipoles, although such continuity usually is not found by electron microscopy. Particles on the membranes have been found by low angle X-ray diffraction, by low temperature electron microscopy and by freeze-etching techniques.
