Until now, the world is still facing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. This virus can be transmitted from human to human through droplets, so more vigilance is needed to avoid contracting this virus. One of the steps to minimize the spread of Covid-19 is to wear a face mask. In practice, most people prefer to use cloth masks than disposable medical masks because they are cheap and reusable. Cloth pore size influences the filtering ability of the cloth masks. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the efficiencies of the cloth masks. In this study, we developed a method for measuring the pores of a cloth mask using a smartphone. In this study, we developed a method for measuring the pores of a cloth mask using a smartphone. We used the camera zoom application on a smartphone and analyzed the image using image processing software, ImageJ. We appliedHuang's algorithm to adjust the image binarization threshold then calculated the Feret diameter as the pore size of the mask. According to the analysis, the pore size ranged from 0.133 to 0.232 mm, and the efficiency ranged from 77.4 to 82.6%.

Abstract This paper reports the development of colorimetric immunological paper-based assay for exosome detection. The paper-based device was fabricated with lamination technique for easy handling and create hydrophilic/hydrophobic region for analytical paper-based devices. Exosome-specific antibody was coated onto the paper-based devices as a biosensing platform to detect exosome sample from the cell culture media. This assay employed a colorimetric reaction which is followed by reaction between horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine substrate (TMB). The colorimetric readout was qualitatively evaluated by naked eyes and was quantitatively assessed by image processing software. The result indicated that this assay faces many challenges. First, the exosome concentration may be inadequate to reach detectable range. Second, high background signal due to non-specific binding on the platform results in lack of sensitivity for exosome detection. Therefore, modification on the paper should promote protein binding for specific target and prevent non-specific binding to reduce the high background signal.

Identifying, comparing, and matching watermarks in pre-machine-made papers has occupied scholars of prints and drawings for some time. One popular but arduous approach is to overlay, either manually or digitally, an image of the watermark in question with its presumed match from a known source. For example, a newly discovered watermark in a Rembrandt print might be compared to a similar one reproduced in Erik Hinterding’s Rembrandt as an Etcher (2006). Such an overlay can confirm the pair as identical, i.e., as moldmates, or reveal their differences. But creating an accurate overlay for two images with different scales, orientations, or resolutions using standard image-manipulation tools can be time consuming and, ultimately, unsuccessful. Part One of this article describes advances in the emerging field of computational art history, specifically the development of digital image processing software, that can be used to semi-automatically create a reliable animated overlay of two watermarks, regardless of their relative “comparability.” Watermarks found in the prints of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) are used in three case studies to demonstrate the efficacy of user-generated overlay videos. Part Two discusses how searching for identical watermarks, i.e., moldmates, can be enhanced through the application of a new suite of software programs that exploit the data calculated during the creation of user-generated animated overlays. This novel watermark identification procedure allows for rapid, confident watermark searches with minimal user effort, given the existence of a pre-marked library of watermarks. Using a pre-marked library of Foolscap with Five-Pointed Collar watermarks, four case studies present different categories of previously undocumented matches 1) among Rembrandt’s prints; 2) between prints by Rembrandt and another artist, in this case Jan Gillisz van Vliet (1600/10–1668); and 3) between selected Rembrandt prints and contemporaneous Dutch historical documents.

Abstract Considering the dependance of materials’ properties on the microstructure, it is imperative to carry out a thorough microstructural characterization and analysis to bolster its development. This article is aimed to inform the users about the implementation of FIJI, an open source image processing software for image segmentation and quantitative microstructural analysis. The rapid advancement of computer technology in the past years has made it possible to swiftly segment and analyze hundreds of micrographs reducing hours’ worth of analysis time to a mere matter of minutes. This has led to the availability of several commercial image processing software programs primarily aimed at relatively inexperienced users. Despite the advantages like ‘one-click solutions’ offered by commercial software, the high licensing cost limits its widespread use in the metallographic community. Open-source platforms on the other hand, are free and easily available although rudimentary knowledge of the user-interface is a pre-requisite. In particular, the software FIJI has distinguished itself as a versatile tool, since it provides suitable extensions from image processing to segmentation to quantitative stereology and is continuously developed by a large user community. This article aims to introduce the FIJI program by familiarizing the user with its graphical user-interface and providing a sequential methodology to carry out image segmentation and quantitative microstructural analysis.

Abstract. Remote sensing is not only the teaching content of the majors of surveying and mapping, but also the teaching content of many other engineering majors in China, such as Detection, Guidance and Control Technology (DGCT), Aerocraft Control and Information Engineering (ACIE), etc. In this paper, we put forward the special teaching task of remote sensing image processing software design to the practical courses, named Specialty Course Design and Specialty Comprehensive Experiments, for senior engineering undergraduate students in their last academic year. In this research oriented task, students are required to design, code and implement a remote sensing image processing software under the specified software programming conditions, and carry out detailed software testing, so as to meet several application functions with research objectives. According to the collation and summary of five rounds of teaching practice of such research oriented remote sensing image processing software design tasks in practical courses, we find that it can not only cultivate the ability of students to comprehensively use the knowledge they have learned, but also enable them to better analyze the actual application needs and acquire the technology and ability closer to the actual work needs.
