This paper aims to present a review of recent as well as classic image registration methods. Image registration is the process of overlaying images (two or more) of the same scene taken at different times, from different viewpoints, and/or by different sensors. The registration geometrically align

Volume rendering is a technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has applications in areas such as medical imaging and scientific visualization, but its use has been limited by its high computational expense. Early implementations of volume rendering used brute-force techniques

Suppose you are given some dataset drawn from an underlying probability distribution P and you want to estimate a "simple" subset S of input space such that the probability that a test point drawn from P lies outside of S is bounded by some a priori specified between 0 and 1. We

In addition to maintaining the GenBankÒ nucleic acid sequence database, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides analysis and retrieval resources for the data in GenBank and other biological data made available through NCBI’s Web site. NCBI resources include Entrez,

Microfluidics-based biochips are soon expected to revolutionize biosensing, clinical diagnostics and drug discovery. Robust off-line and on-line test techniques are required to ensure system dependability as these biochips are deployed for safety-critical applications. Due to the underlying mixed

As digital microfluidic biochips become widespread in safety-critical biochemical applications, system dependability emerges as a critical performance parameter. The dynamic reconfigurability inherent in digital microfluidic biochips can be utilized to bypass faulty cells, thereby supporting defect

Dependability is an important attribute for microfluidic biochips that are used for safety-critical applications such as point-of-care health assessment, air-quality monitoring, and food-safety testing. Therefore, these devices must be adequately tested after manufacture and during bioassay

operations. We propose a parallel scan-like testing methodology for digital microfluidic devices. A diagnosis method based on test outcomes is also proposed. The diagnosis technique is enhanced such that multiple defect sites can be efficiently located using parallel scan-like testing. Defect diagnosis can
