  • Method For Characterizing Fission Semi-Tracks in Solids
    Publication number: 20140328510
    Abstract: A method for determining the position and its statistical uncertainty of a fission semi-track in a crystal based on detecting the tip and etch figure of a fission semi-track in a series of transmitted light images. A computer software program for: detecting the tip and etch figure of a fission semi-track in a series of transmitted light images and assessing the viability of the tip using a scoring equation; writing to and loading from a computer database of fission semi-tracks; modifying the scoring equation for assessing fission semi-track tip viability based on the contents of the computer database. A computer database consisting of transmitted light images of fission semi-tracks. A method for determining the statistical probability that a fission semi-track is a real fission semi-track.

  • Method For Characterizing Confined Fission Tracks in Solids
    Publication number: 20140321699
    Abstract: A method for determining the position and its statistical uncertainty of a confined fission track in a crystal based on detecting confined fission track tips in a series of transmitted light images. A computer software program for: detecting confined fission track tips in a series of transmitted light images and assessing the viability of each tip using a scoring equation; writing to and loading from a computer database of confined fission tracks; modifying the scoring equation for assessing confined fission track tip viability based on the contents of the computer database. A computer database consisting of transmitted light images of confined fission tracks. A method for determining the statistical probability that a confined fission track is a real confined fission track.

  • Photographic document imaging system
    Patent number: 7593595
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing a captured image and, more particularly, for processing a captured image comprising a document. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprising a camera to capture documents is described. In another embodiment, a method for processing a captured image that includes a document comprises the steps of distinguishing an imaged document from its background, adjusting the captured image to reduce distortions created from use of a camera and properly orienting the document is described.
