Video tracking of animal behavior
Animals display a diverse set of behavior, not always well interpreted by humans: some of these behavioral patterns disclose animals’ intensions, needs, and distresses. Thousands of years of animal farming have enabled us to interpret a subset of animal behavior; yet, a large spectrum still remai...

Three-dimensional reconstruction
Three-dimensional reconstruction of scene can be viewed as is the reproduction of a depth-map. Thus, as an input we have a sequence of images as input, which their output is distances of each point of the target object from a reference point. There are many ways to reconstruct an object. Starting...

Cell Classification software
One ml of human blood contains roughly 5 million red blood cells. This huge quantity is only a fraction of what is found in one ml of blood, which contains roughly 60% fluid (plasma) and the remaining white cells, red blood cells and platelets. The composition of blood is examined routinely in ho...
