Image analysis for nano-structures of bio-polymers

The principal objective of this research is to investigate whether there is a correlation between the features of the images taken by an electron microscope, the production environment of the bio-polymers, and their macroscopic properties.

Determination of reproductive parameters in fish by computer vision

DETEPRE

Many of the European fishery resources are currently overexploited. The resources of interest to the Galician fleet are no exception, and in this sense some recovery plans have been proposed by the EU. In the Precautionary Approach to fisheries management is intended to conserve the...

Characterization of otoliths of cod at Flemish Cap

Age estimation of a fish population and observation of its evolution over the years becomes a more and more important task for todays fishery. One method applied by almost all laboratories is based on the analysis of the otolith, a small bone like structure located...

Classification and counting of pollen grains.

Palynological data are used in a wide range of applications such as paleoclimatic reconstruction, allergenic process, and food technology. Fossil pollen spectra are used for paleoenvironmental reconstruction in the Quaternary and in the geological past. The count of pollen in the air allows to suggest...
