Grayscale-based Encryption-then-Compression (EtC) systems transform RGB images into the YCbCr color space, concatenate the components into a single grayscale image, and apply block permutation, block rotation/flipping, and block-wise negative–p...
In this work, a new approach to background subtraction based on independent component analysis is presented. This approach assumes that background and foreground information are mixed in a given sequence of images. Then, foreground and background com...
There are many possible LED lighting applications where separate regulation of the LED current (luminous flux) of individual LED strings would be desirable—specialized variable correlated color temperature lights for ambient lighting, decorativ...
The intestinal epithelial monolayer forms a transcellular and paracellular barrier that separates luminal contents from the interstitium. The paracellular barrier consists of a highly organized complex of intercellular junctions that is primarily reg...
Current low-light image enhancement techniques prioritize increasing image luminance but fail to address issues including loss of intricate distortion of colors and image details. In order to address these issues that has been overlooked by all parti...
The aim of this study is to search for quasi-periodical structures at moderate cosmological redshifts z ≲ 0.5. We mainly use the SDSS DR7 data on the luminous red galaxies (LRGs) with redshifts 0.16 ≤ z ≤ 0.47. At first, we analyze features (peaks) i...
On the basis of the discussion of the current state of research on relevant topics of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) among a group of experts of the Spanish Oncology Genitourinary (SOGUG) Working Group, recommendations were proposed to ov...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer that is non-responsive to hormonal therapies and disproportionately impact women of African ancestry. We previously showed that TN breast tumors have a distinct microbial sig...
The effortless detection of salient objects by humans has been the subject of research in several fields, including computer vision, as it has many applications. However, salient object detection remains a challenge for many computer models dealing w...
The glycocalyx is a proteoglycan–glycoprotein structure lining the luminal surface of the vascular endothelium and is susceptible to damage due to blast overpressure (BOP) exposure. The glycocalyx is essential in maintaining the structural and...
This study focuses on improving the objective alignment of image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms with human visual perception. Existing methodologies, predominantly those based on the Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) filter, often neglect the impact o...
