The present study introduces a new MATLAB toolbox, called MatMouse, suitable for the performance of experimental studies based on mouse movements tracking and analysis. MatMouse supports the implementation of task-based visual search experiments. The proposed toolbox provides specific functions which can be utilized for the experimental building and mouse tracking processes, the analysis of the recorded data in specific metrics, the production of related visualizations, as well as for the generation of statistical grayscale heatmaps which could serve as an objective ground truth product. MatMouse can be executed as a standalone package or integrated in existing MATLAB scripts and/or toolboxes. In order to highlight the functionalities of the introduced toolbox, a complete case study example is presented. MatMouse is freely distributed to the scientific community under the third version of GNU General Public License (GPL v3) on GitHub platform.
AbstractÐIn this paper, an Inverse Hough Transform algorithm is proposed. This algorithm reconstructs correctly the original image, using only the data of the Hough Transform space and it is applicable to any binary image. As a first application, the Inverse Hough Transform algorithm is used for straight-line detection and filtering. The lines are detected not just as continuous straight lines, which is the case of the standard Hough Transform, but as they really appear in the original image, i.e., pixel by pixel. To avoid the quantization effects in the Hough Transform space, inversion conditions are defined, which are associated only with the dimensions of the images. Experimental results indicate that the Inverse Hough Transform algorithm is robust and accurate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
