Residual stresses significantly influence the strength and lifetime of the glass products, therefore their qualification and quantification during production is basically important for evaluating their probable reliability in application. The current paper aims at introducing a novel procedure of the suggested automatic glass quality test based on instrumented scratch test completed with computer aided image analysis. A special emphasis is put on the problem of limited reproducibility and reliability of the image processing, arisen in the first stage of the research work. The latest results consisting in the development of a new algorithm, providing a more reliable evaluation of the test data will be described.

Residual stresses of production origin superimposed with the operational stresses influences the reliability of glass products. The most widely used procedures for their detection and qualification are optical methods that can not be utilized for testing of non-transparent glasses. A recently developed glass qualifying procedure based on scratch test with integrated image processing is applicable for evaluating the residual stresses in surface of both the transparent and non-transparent glasses. The reliability of the suggested test method is greatly dependent on the information content provided by the involved image analysis procedure. The current paper introduces the principle, and methodology of the test method, furthermore presents the latest results gained by applying an improved algorithm of the image processing.

SummaryImage analysis with the aid of the computer has rapidly developed over the last few years. There are many possibilities of making use of this development in the medical and biological field. This paper is meant to give a rather general overview of recent systematics regarding the existing methodology in image analysis. Furthermore, some parts of these systematics are illustrated in greater detail by recent research work in the German Cancer Research Center. In particular, two applications are reported where special emphasis is laid on mathematical morphology. This relatively new approach to image analysis finds growing interest in the image processing community and has its strength in bridging the gap between a priori knowledge and image analysis procedures.

AbstractA new technique for characterizing the structure of firn and bubbly ice is presented. This technique, based on observation of etched (sublimation) surfaces in coaxial reflected light, enables une to see simultaneously the pore network of the firn or bubbles in the ice and the crystal boundaries. At the same time, the main stages of image processing used to transform the initial photographs into clean binary images are described.

Digital Image Processing is a promising area of research in the fields of electronics and communication engineering, consumer and entertainment electronics, control and instrumentation, biomedical instrumentation, remote sensing, robotics and computer vision and computer aided manufacturing (CAM). For a meaningful and useful processing such as image segmentation and object recognition, and to have very good visual display in applications like television, photo-phone, etc., the acquired image signal must be deblurred and made noise free. The deblurring and noise suppression (filtering) come under a common class of image processing tasks known as image restoration. This research work addresses several issues with image denoising taking into consideration several known parameters. For this purpose a GUI has been developed in Matlab which produced several research parameters.

For this historical review, we searched a database containing all the articles published in Acta Radiologica during its 100-year history to find those on the use of information technology (IT) in radiology. After reading the full texts, we selected the presented articles according to major radiology IT domains such as teleradiology, picture archiving and communication systems, image processing, image analysis, and computer-aided diagnostics in order to describe the development as it appeared in the journal. Publications generally follow IT megatrends, but because the contents of Acta Radiologica are mainly clinically oriented, some technology achievements appear later than they do in journals discussing mainly imaging informatics topics.

In the present research, we address the problem of how chromatin fibers are ordered in band and interband regions along the length of a Drosophila polytene chromosome. Our approach employs image processing as a preliminary step to amplify the image contrast. Then, computerized pattern recognition methods are used to study how the chromatin is arranged.Polytene chromosomes were isolated from salivary glands and squashed on glass microscope slides. The slides were immersed in liquid nitrogen and the coverslips were removed with a razor blade. Small droplets of a polymer developed in our laboratory called HACH (a mixture of 2- hydroxyhexanedial, carbohydrazide and hydrazine) were then placed over individual chromosome spreads and the slides were left at 26°C overnight to allow for HACH polymerization. HACHembedded samples were removed from the slides, mounted on resin blocks, trimmed and thinsectioned at a thickness of approximately 100 nm. Sections were floated onto formvar-coated gold grids and viewed with a Zeiss 10C transmission electron microscope operated at 80kV.
