This thesis deals with extraction of data from cell images and their visualisation. Cell images are processed by FISH method. It discusses theory of diagnosis evaluation automation and cell features visualization. That concerns image processing, cell nuclei segmentation, feature extraction and data visualization.

This thesis describes the QR Code detector based on detecting edge lines using Hough Transform and point-to-line parametrization. Generally, the presented method can be also used for detecting different types of matrix codes. This approach searches in the accumulated Hough space for evidence of the matrix code as one compound object. It detects parallel lines by finding a concurrent lines' image groups in the transformed space. It contrasts with the common approach which is first detect the lines and calculate the vanishing point afterwards, which omit much of the useful information stored in the Hough space which can be useful for the detection of vanishing points. The purpose of this thesis is a research of methods which can detect the QR Code in spite of rotation, perspective distortion or uneven illumination. The experimental evaluation shows that the presented algorithm is stable and accurate and is tolerant to high degrees of perspective deformation.

Tato dizertační práce se zaměřuje na použití paralelních souřadnic pro parametrizaci čar a bodů. Paralelní souřadný systém má souřadnicové osy vzájemně rovnoběžné. Bod ve dvourozměrném prostoru je v paralelních souřadnicích zobrazen jako přímka a přímka jako bod. Toho je možné využít pro Houghovu transformaci - metodu, při které body zájmu hlasují v prostoru parametrů pro danou hypotézu. Parametrizace pomocí paralelních souřadnic vyžaduje pouze rasterizaci úseček, a proto je velmi rychlá a přesná. V práci je tato parameterizace demonstrována na detekci maticových kódů a úběžníků.

A global transformation is being fueled by unprecedented growth in the quality, quantity, and number of different parameters in environmental data through the convergence of several technological advances in data collection and modeling. Although these data hold great potential for helping us understand many complex and, in some cases, life-threatening environmental processes, our ability to generate such data is far outpacing our ability to analyze it. In particular, conventional environmental data analysis tools are inadequate for coping with the size and complexity of these data. As a result, users are forced to reduce the problem in order to adapt to the capabilities of the tools. To overcome these limitations, we must complement the power of computational methods with human knowledge, flexible thinking, imagination, and our capacity for insight by developing visual analysis tools that distill information into the actionable criteria needed for enhanced decision support. In light of said challenges, we have integrated automated statistical analysis capabilities with a highly interactive, multivariate visualization interface to produce a promising approach for visual environmental data analysis. By combining advanced interaction techniques such as dynamic axis scaling, conjunctive parallel coordinates, statistical indicators, and aerial perspective shading, we provide an enhanced variant of the classical parallel coordinates plot. Furthermore, the system facilitates statistical processes such as stepwise linear regression and correlation analysis to assist in the identification and quantification of the most significant predictors for a particular dependent variable. These capabilities are combined into a unique geovisual analytics system that is demonstrated via a pedagogical case study and three North Atlantic tropical cyclone climate studies using a systematic workflow. In addition to revealing several significant associations between environmental observations and tropical cyclone activity, this research corroborates the notion that enhanced parallel coordinates coupled with statistical analysis can be used for more effective knowledge discovery and confirmation in complex, real-world data sets.

Visualisering är ett kraftfullt verktyg vid dataanalys, särskilt för att identifiera avvikelser. Att effektivt kunna identifiera felaktiga komponenter i elektronik kan förbättra och utveckla produktionsprocesserna avsevärd. Genom att tydligt visa korrelationen mellan felaktiga och fungerande komponenter kan analytiker identifiera nyckelkomponenter som orsakar defekta produkter.  Multivariata data och multivariata tidsseriedata ställer höga krav på visualiseringar på grund av deras komplexitet. Den höga dimensionaliteten kan leda till problem som överlappning och dolda mönster beroende på vilken visualiseringsteknik som används. För att uppnå effektiv visualisering av multivariata data och multivariata tidsseriedata krävs det att både trender över tid och korrelationer mellan olika variabler visas. Studien genomfördes i samarbete med konsultföretaget Syntronic AB för att identifiera lämpliga visualiseringstekniker för data som samlats in vid testning av kretskort. Metoden som användes är design science, vilket omfattar en litteraturstudie, utveckling av prototyp och utvärdering av prototypen. Prototypen består av tre visualiseringstekniker som är: Kategorisk heatmap, Parallella koordinater och Scatterplot. Dessa tekniker jämfördes systematiskt för att bedöma deras effektivitet. Utvärderingen består av kvantitativa metoder såsom mätningar och enkäter, samt den kvalitativa metoden intervju. Resultatet av studien presenterar den utvecklade prototypen och analysen av utvärderingen.  Resultatet av studien visar att kategoriska heatmaps är effektiv för att identifiera samband mellan avvikelser i multivariat data. Även om alla användare upplevde visualiseringen svårtolkad vid en första anblick uttryckte de att visualiseringen var effektiv på att visa korrelationer mellan avvikelser. Parallella koordinater upplevdes svårtolkad och ineffektiv på grund av den höga dimensionaliteten där alla dimensioner inte kan visas samtidigt. Förbättringsförslag för att öka användarvänlighet och användarupplevelse lyftes där tree view förslogs som ett alternativ för att välja de dimensioner som ska visas i stället för reglaget. Scatterplots visade sig vara användbar för att analysera enskilda testpunkter och visade generella trender på ett tydligt och begripligt sätt. Studien har även visat att interaktiviteten påverkar upplevelsen av visualisering, där begränsad interaktivitet medför att tekniken upplevds mindre användbar för att identifiera relationer mellan avvikelser. / Visualization is of great importance when analyzing data, especially when distinguishing anomalies. Identifying faulty components of electronics could evolve and improve the production processes tremendously. By effectively displaying the correlation between faulty and working components, analytics can identify key components causing faulty products.Multivariate data and multivariate time series data place high demands on visualizations due to their complexity. The high dimensionality can lead to issues such as overlapping and hidden patterns, depending on the visualization technique used. To achieve effective visualization of multivariate data and multivariate time series data, it is necessary to show both trends over time and correlations between different variables. This study was conducted in cooperation with Syntronic AB, a consulting company, to help identify suitable visualization techniques for data gathered by testing circuit boards. The methodology used is design research which includes research gathering, development of a prototype and evaluation of the prototype. The prototype consists of three visualization techniques: Categorical heatmap, Parallel Coordinates, and Scatterplot. These techniques were systematically compared to assess their effectiveness. The evaluation consists of quantitative methods such as time measurement and survey, and the qualitative method interview. The result of the study shows the developed prototype and the analysis of the evaluation.  As a result, the study found categorical heatmaps effective in distinguishing correlation between anomalies in multivariate data. Although all users found the visualization difficult to grasp at first glance, expressed their beliefs regarding the effectiveness of displaying correlation. Parallel Coordinates were perceived as difficult to interpret and ineffective for high-dimensional datasets where all dimensions can´t be displayed simultaneously. Interactive options such as tree view to select test pointsto visualize were suggested to further improve the usefulness of Parallel Coordinates. Scatterplot proved useful for analyzing individual test points and showed general trends in a user-friendly way. Furthermore, the study also showed that interactivity affect the perception of visualizations. Limited interactivity resulted in users finding the visualizations less effective in distinguishing anomalies and were perceived as less user-friendly.

Táto práca popisuje niekoľko vybraných algoritmov, ktoré boli primárne vyvinuté pre CPU procesory, avšak vzhľadom k vysokému dopytu po ich vylepšeniach sme sa rozhodli ich využiť v prospech GPGPU (procesorov grafického adaptéra). Modifikácia týchto algoritmov bola zároveň cieľom nášho výskumu, ktorý  bol prevedený pomocou CUDA rozhrania. Práca je členená podľa troch skupín algoritmov, ktorým sme sa venovali: detekcia objektov v reálnom čase, spektrálna analýza obrazu a detekcia čiar v reálnom čase. Pre výskum detekcie objektov v reálnom čase sme zvolili použitie LRD a LRP funkcií.  Výskum spektrálnej analýzy obrazu bol prevedný pomocou PCA a NTF algoritmov. Pre potreby skúmania detekcie čiar v reálnom čase sme používali dva rôzne spôsoby modifikovanej akumulačnej schémy Houghovej transformácie.
