‘Visual’ and ‘Metric 3D’ Seeing the Invisible and Measuring the Immeasurable with “Software Lenses” Sabine K McNeill
Sickle cells (anaemia) Seeing more about cells and their environment applies to sickle cells, stem cells and red and white blood cells as examples. The offer is to let you define what you want to differentiate in terms of cell characteristics.
Green sickle cells Different colours show up, too. But the question is: what interests you in terms of qualitative characteristics? What differences do you want to quantify?
Purple sickle cells Just as microscopists are trained to spot differences, so can our “software vision” get trained to select images based on differences.
Mammograph 1a Only human experts can tell the difference between ‘cancerous’ and healthy. But the software can give novel quantifications to aid in decision making.
Mammograph 1b Human experts spot patterns and differences. Our software lenses offer parameters with which to ‘see better’.
Fluoro X-ray A patient swallowing. The screenshot shows new visual depth and new metric details plus texture through colour.
Reference Resolutions • Resolutions for • Calibrating single instruments • Comparing different instruments
Beautiful Brains These images are meant to show that the concepts behind the software are so generic that they can not only reveal more detail and accuracy about image content but also the generating imaging technology.
Infrared images taken at different times reveal the birth of supernova Cassiopeia. The transition between images can now be newly investigated. Jan 23, 2007 Oct 2, 2006 Aug 28, 2007 Jan 8, 2008
Jupiter- Hubble Telescope • The parameters of investigation and visualization are tailored by image experts according to • - domain • - length scale and • imaging technology.
Terahertz The imaging technology is as important a contributor as the image expert. Our software adds ‘smartness’ to the expertise of technologists and images.
Any Imaging Technology • What can be measured: • Physical, chemical, biological and other qualities • What for? • Quality control • Time comparisons • Process analysis.
New Instrument of Investigation • “Humboldt had a horror of the single fact, believing that in order to explore any one thing, one needs to approach it from all sides... Every discovery opens up the imagination further, stimulating more discovery: it enlarges the sphere of ideas, excites a taste for investigation, while the creation of new instruments of observation increases the intelligence.” Theodore Zeldin, An Intimate History of Humanity, London 1994 • Measuring ‘on screen’ • Time series at any interval • Measurements from any application • Digital images from any technology.
