Dynamic laser speckle: decision models with computational intelligence techniques

Measurement of shrinkage during photopolymerization of methacrylate resins by interferometric techniques: Local and global analyses

“…-Dynamic Range Descriptor: a pseudo-colored video applying the dynamic range descriptor [28] to 24 consecutive frames repeatedly till the end of the recorded experience, i.e. we took frames 1-25 and generated the first frame of the pseudo-colored video; then to generate the second frame we used the frames 2-26 and so on till the last frame.…”

An introduction to dengue-disease diagnostics

“…MAC-ELISA Anti-dengue IgG detection is also conducted by fixed IgG via anti-human IgG antibody that was immobilized earlier on the plate wells. However, dengue-specific IgG tests are less specific than IgM because IgG is cross-reactive and has no conserved epitopes among the four serotypes, unlike IgM, which interacts only with epitopes of the infecting serotype present [45]. The performance and the specificity of classical serological techniques for dengue diagnosis depend on many factors, such as the quality of the antigens that are utilized with the ELISA method, the specimen type (e.g., serum, whole blood or saliva), the DENV serotype [10] and the IgM and IgG titers [28].…”

Dynamic speckle image segmentation using self-organizing maps

“…We propose a method for performing the visualization of sample regions using image sequences of laser speckle patterns coming from different situations: a) activity test in a simplified situation using a paint drying experiment, b) inhomogeneous illuminated surface of a wet painted sample, and c) an active biologic specimen (fruit). Previously, bacteria (Guzmán et al 2010) and seeds (Passoni et al 2013b) were also tested and preliminary results were presented.…”
