Visual attention plays a vital role for humans to understand a scene by intuitively emphasizing some focused objects, and recent work in the computational model of visual attention has demonstrated that a purely bottom-up approach to identify salient regions within an image can be successfully applied to diverse and practical problems. Being aware of this, we propose a new approach of extracting objects...
In this paper, a first prototype of a multifunctional tactile sensor using ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) is proposed, designed, and tested. Two IPMC strips are used, one as an actuator and one as a sensor, both positioned in a cantilever configuration; working together they enable the system to detect the presence of a material in contact with it and to measure its stiffness. These sensing...
Blast cells, also referred to as immature mononuclear cells, are key indicators in the diagnosis and treatment of leukemias. Pappenheim-stained blasts exhibit a single, more or less dark magenta, generally round nucleus surrounded by light blue cytoplasm. An observer readily identifies this class of cells using common morphological criteria such as size, shape, optical density, and N/C ratio. But...
