- A Taxonomy of Temporal Data Visualization Techniques
- A wide range of visualization techniques have been designed to assist users to visually analyze and manipulate temporal data. All the proposed techniques have been designed independently. In this context it is therefore difficult to systematically explore the set of possibilities as well as to thoroughly envision visualization techniques of...

- New fingerprint detection technology
- Researchers at the University of Leicester, UK, working with Northamptonshire Police, have found a new technique for identifying fingerprints on metal. This method will enable forensic scientists to 'visualise fingerprints' even after the print itself has been removed. What is even more interesting is that this technology could 'enhance --...

- Automatic eyeglasses prescriptions?
- For its space missions, NASA wants astronauts with excellent vision without corrective lenses or glasses. This doesn't prevent its Vision Science and Technology Group to study human vision of ordinary people like you and me. Two members of this group recently discovered that a new formula connecting optical quality with...

- Medical Image Classification Using an Efficient Data Mining Technique
- Data mining refers to extracting or "Mining" knowledge from large amounts of data. It is an increasingly popular field that uses statistical, visualization, machine learning, and other data manipulation and knowledge extraction techniques aimed at gaining an insight into the relationships and patterns hidden in the data. Availability of digital...

- The physics of flocking in 3-D
- You might think that bird watchers are only amateurs armed with binoculars. But biologists have also been studying flocks of birds for a long time. And now, they're helped by physicists, according to this New Scientist article about how European researchers are capturing flocks in 3-D. With a couple of...

- Extracting the structure of networks
- Networks are used to represent the structure of complex systems, including the Internet or social networks, but often these descriptions are biased or incomplete. Now, researchers at the Santa Fe Institute SFI have shown that it's possible to extract automatically the hierarchical structure of networks. The researchers say their results...

- Cellphones used for medical imaging?
- A team of engineers at the University of California at Berkeley has developed a technique for transmitting medical images via cellphones. This potentially could bring medical imaging to the 'three-quarters of the world's population which has no access to ultrasounds, X-rays, magnetic resonance images, and other medical imaging technology.' The...

- Lensless camera for nanoscale imaging
- Australian and U.S. scientists have developed a lensless camera which uses X-rays to view nanoscale materials and biological specimens. As says one researcher, 'there is no lens involved at all; instead, a computer uses sophisticated algorithms to reconstruct the image.' Future microscopes equipped with these lensless cameras could be used...

- 3-D imaging with FINCH
- Holography offers a way of creating complete 3-D images of samples, but requires mechanical scanning of laser beams. But two researchers have invented a new technology called FINCH (short for 'Fresnel incoherent correlation holography.' According to them, FINCH can make 3-D imaging quicker and more accurate. Their FINCHSCOPE, a 3-D...

- Turning 2-D photos into 3-D models
- When you take a picture, you know that the person or the landscape in front of you has three dimensions. But when you watch the result, it's definitively a flat picture. Extracting 3-D information from photos is still in its infancy. Now, Stanford University computer scientists have developed the Make3d...
