SharpStack Version 5.0 Adds Advanced Image Deconvolution Features to Image-Pro Plus.Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers BIOWIRE2K SILVER SPRING, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2003 Media Cybernetics cybernetics [Gr.,=steersman], term coined by American mathematician Norbert Wiener to refer to the general analysis of control systems and communication systems in living organisms and machines. Inc., the leading analytical image analysis software provider announces an upgrade release of SharpStack(R). This plug-in module for Image-Pro(R) Plus allows microscopists to obtain clear images from a stack of hazy images. Unlike other deconvolution In mathematics, deconvolution is an algorithm-based process used to reverse the effects of convolution on recorded data.[1] The concept of deconvolution is widely used in the techniques of signal processing and image processing. solutions, SharpStack integrates seamlessly with image capture, 2D processing, analysis, and reporting within Image-Pro Plus. SharpStack's algorithm options include Nearest Neighbor See point sampling. , No Neighbor, Inverse Filter, and Spherical Aberration spherical aberration: see aberration, in optics. Correction. Nearest Neighbor The Nearest Neighbor algorithm works by deblurring one image slice at a time. It uses information from image slices that reside above and below the image slice that is being processed. No Neighbor The No Neighbor method uses the information from each single slice to construct a two-dimensional pointspread function. Inverse Filter The Inverse Filter algorithm is a one-step deconvolution technique performed in Fourier space by dividing the captured image by the pointspread function. Spherical Aberration Correction Spherical Aberrations result from the fact that focal points of light rays far from the optic axis optic axis n. The line connecting the anterior and the posterior poles of the eye. of a spherical lens spherical lens n. Abbr. sph A lens in which all refracting surfaces are spherical. are different from the focal points of rays of the same wavelength passing near the center. Spherical aberrations can cause a heavier tail on one side of the XZ projection of the image. They can also affect the convergence of rays from converging to one point, to converging in multiple points. The result is a haze-filled image. The Spherical Aberration algorithm in SharpStack corrects this problem.
