I have been asked to find out what it would take to do a certain project which is essentially extracting the differences between two microscope images. I am way over my head on this request and I will have to learn a lot. I wonder if opendx can be used to do all or some of it.
An analogy of the microscope image problem might be easier for me to communicate. Imagine flying an airplane over a city. At a point in the air a photo is taken of a city below. Then a year later flying over again and taking another photo. There would be differences in the photo due to what changed on the earth, but there would also be differences due to other reasons such as weather, different airplane positions, different camera settings etc. So there would first have to be some manipulations just to get the two images to overlay correctly. Then some lighting artifacts from the weather have to be removed. Then everything in the first image that is also in the second image would have to be removed. The remaining changes are all that should appear in the final image; with perhaps some other coordinate information to determine where the differences are in the city. I am also interested in references to the literatures which cover ways to do this. Thanks.
