Skeletracks: automatic separation of overlapping fission tracks in apatite and muscovite using image processing
One of the major difficulties of automatic track counting using photomicrographs is separating overlapped tracks. We address this issue combining image processing algorithms such as skeletonization, and we test our algorithm with several binarization techniques. The counting algorithm was successfully applied to determine the efficiency factor GQR, necessary for standardless fission-track dating, involving counting induced tracks in apatite and muscovite with superficial densities of about $6 \times 10^5$ tracks/$cm^2$.

An automatic method for segmentation of fission tracks in epidote crystal photomicrographs
Manual identification of fission tracks has practical problems, such as variation due to observer-observation efficiency. An automatic processing method that could identify fission tracks in a photomicrograph could solve…
The JHU Multi-Microphone Multi-Speaker ASR System for the CHiME-6 Challenge
This paper summarizes the JHU team's efforts in tracks 1 and 2 of the CHiME-6 challenge for distant multi-microphone conversational speech diarization and recognition in everyday home environments. We explore multi-array…

The major challenges of automatic track counting are distinguishing tracks and material defects, identifying small tracks and defects of similar size, and detecting overlapping tracks. Here we address the latter issue us…
A Geometric Approach For Fully Automatic Chromosome Segmentation
A fundamental task in human chromosome analysis is chromosome segmentation. Segmentation plays an important role in chromosome karyotyping. The first step in segmentation is to remove intrusive objects such as stain debr…
