AbstractImage pre-processing is highly significant in automated analysis of microscopy images. In this work, non-uniform illumination correction has been attempted using the surface fitting method (SFM), multiple regression method (MRM), and bidirectional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) in digital microscopy images of tuberculosis (TB). The sputum smear positive and negative images recorded under a standard image acquisition protocol were subjected to illumination correction techniques and evaluated by error and statistical measures. Results show that SFM performs more efficiently than MRM or BEMD. The SFM produced sharp images of TB bacilli with better contrast. To further validate the results, multifractal analysis was performed that showed distinct variation before and after implementation of illumination correction by SFM. Results demonstrate that after illumination correction, there is a 26% increase in the number of bacilli, which aids in classification of the TB images into positive and negative, as TB positivity depends on the count of bacilli.

The issues of using of information and measurement systems based on processing of digital images of microscopic preparations for solving large-scale tasks of automating the diagnosis of acute leukemia are considered. The high density of leukocyte cells in the preparation (hypercellularity) is a feature of microscopic images of bone marrow preparations. It causes the proximity of cells to eachother and their contact with the formation of conglomerates. Measuring of the characteristics of bone marrow cells in such conditions leads to unacceptable errors (more than 50%). The work is devoted to segmentation of contiguous cells in images of bone marrow preparations. A method of cell separation during white blood cell segmentation on images of bone marrow preparations under conditions of hypercellularity of the preparation has been developed. The peculiarity of the proposed method is the use of an approach to segmentation of cell images based on the watershed method with markers. Key stages of the method: the formation of initial markers and builds the lines of watershed, a threshold binarization, shading inside the outline. The parameters of the separation of contiguous cells are determined. The experiment confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method. The relative segmentation error was 5 %. The use of the proposed method in information and measurement systems of computer microscopy for automated analysis of bone marrow preparations will help to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of acute leukemia.

ABSTRACT This article presents a novel experimental technique for measuring in-plane deformations and vibration modes of a rotating nonpneumatic tire subjected to obstacle impacts. The tire was mounted on a modified quarter-car test rig, which was built around one of the drums of a 500-horse power chassis dynamometer at Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research. A series of experiments were conducted using a high-speed camera to capture the event of the rotating tire coming into contact with a cleat attached to the surface of the drum. The resulting video was processed using a two-dimensional digital image correlation algorithm to obtain in-plane radial and tangential deformation fields of the tire. The dynamic mode decomposition algorithm was implemented on the deformation fields to extract the dominant frequencies that were excited in the tire upon contact with the cleat. It was observed that the deformations and the modal frequencies estimated using this method were within a reasonable range of expected values. In general, the results indicate that the method used in this study can be a useful tool in measuring in-plane deformations of rolling tires without the need for additional sensors and wiring.
