An automatic measuring system lor time-varying optical images is described. After the operator specifies the location of the segment to be measured on an outline image produced by the system, the equipment periodically prints the current length on a teletype. A detailed study of optical edge detection by two different transformations is given. Finally tests of the system as a means of measuring and recording dynamic blood vessel diameters in the ra! mesentery are explained.
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.
