1	A Java image editor and enhancer Darbhamulla, Lalitha 01 January 2004 (has links) The purpose of this project is to develop a Java Applet that provides all the tools needed for creating image fantasies. It lets the user pick a template and an image, and combine them together. The user can then apply image processing techniques such as rotation, zooming, blurring etc according to his/her requirements.

2	A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LOCAL AND GLOBAL PERIPHERAL NERVE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES DURING CYCLICAL TENSILE TESTING Onna Marie Doering (12441543) 21 April 2022 (has links) <p> </p> <p>Understanding the mechanical properties of peripheral nerves is essential for chronically implanted device design. The work in this thesis aimed to understand the relationship between local deformation responses to global strain changes in peripheral nerves. A custom-built mechanical testing rig and sample holder enabled an improved cyclical uniaxial tensile testing environment on rabbit sciatic nerves (N=5). A speckle was placed on the surface of the nerve and recorded with a microscope camera to track local deformations. The development of a semi-automated digital image processing algorithm systematically measured local speckle dimension and nerve diameter changes. Combined with the measured force response, local and global strain values constructed a stress-strain relationship and corresponding elastic modulus. Preliminary exploration of models such as Fung and 2-Term Mooney-Rivlin confirmed the hyperelastic nature of the nerve. The results of strain analysis show that, on average, local strain levels were approximately five times smaller than globally measured strains; however, the relationship was dependent on global strain magnitude. Elastic modulus values corresponding to ~9% global strains were 2.070 ± 1.020 MPa globally and 10.15 ± 4 MPa locally. Elastic modulus values corresponding to ~6% global strains were 0.173 ± 0.091 MPa globally and 1.030 ± 0.532 MPa locally. </p> Peripheral nervous system Biomechanical engineering Medical devices Image processing nerve mechanical analysis tensile testing peripheral nervous system image processing and analysis mechanical properties sciatic nerve image processing methods neuroengineering applications medical devices digital image correlation strain analysis technique strain analysis Biomechanical Engineering Medical Devices Image Processing Peripheral Nervous System
