Abstract: In polarization-sensitive optical image measurement, noise-containing OCT signals obtained by polarization OCT are processed using a birefringence calculation algorithm, to obtain measured birefringence, after which noise is statistically adjusted to simulate a measured birefringence distribution and determine the noise characteristics of the measured birefringence values, and then Monte Carlo calculations are repeated by assuming different values for the noise level and the true birefringence value, respectively, to form three-dimensional histogram of combinations of true birefringence values, SN ratios, and measured birefringence values, after which specified measured birefringence values and SN ratios are assumed from the three-dimensional histogram information to obtain a true birefringence probability density distribution, and true birefringence values are estimated from the true birefringence probability density distribution.

Abstract: A system for classifying different types of sheeting materials of road signs depicted in a videostream compares estimated retroreflectivity values against known minimum retroreflectivity values for each of a plurality of colors. Once a road sign has been identified in the videostream, the frames associated with that road sign are analyzed to determine each of a plurality of colors present on the road sign. An estimated retroreflectivity for each of the plurality of colors present on the road sign is then determined. By comparing the estimated retroreflectivity for each of the plurality of colors against known minimum retroreflectivity values for the corresponding color for different types of sheeting materials, an accurate determination of the classification of the sheeting material of the road sign is established. Preferably, certain conditions of gross failure of the sheeting material are filtered out before classification of the sheeting material is determined.

Abstract: A method for detecting albumin based on a colorimetric assay and a system thereof are disclosed. Gold nanoparticles are added into the sample preparing device having a sample without spectroscopic tags, wherein the sample without spectroscopic tags is formed as the alkaline solution to avoid the interference substances adhering on the gold nanoparticles. The gold nanoparticles are concentrated by using the microfluidic concentrator with the circular ion exchange membrane by applying an external electric field across two electrodes. The image of the concentrated gold nanoparticles is captured by the image capturing device for measuring the saturation intensities of the image, wherein there is a relation between the saturation intensities and the concentration of the albumin in the sample without spectroscopic tags. The concentration of the albumin of the sample without spectroscopic tags is obtained by the relation and the measured saturation intensities.
