Abstract: In this paper, a new variant of algorithm for normalized cross-correlation (NCC) is proposed in the context of template matching in images. The proposed algorithm is based on the ...

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in ...

Image Processing in Python for 3D image stacks, or IMPPY3D, is a software repository comprising mostly Python scripts that simplify post-processing and 3D shape characterization of grayscale image ...

This template was collaboratively developed through "vibe coding" - an iterative, conversation-driven approach using AI assistance where the project evolved organically based on real needs and best ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured its first direct image of a planet in a remote solar system, and it's lighter than any seen before. The planet, named TWA 7b, is a gas giant with a ...

Python’s new template strings, or t-strings, give you a much more powerful way to format data than the old-fashioned f-strings. The familiar formatted string, or f-string, feature in Python provides a ...

Earlier this year, ocean exploration company Deep Sea Vision released an underwater sonar image taken of the Pacific Ocean floor that it thought might be Amelia Earhart’s Electra. [Courtesy: Deep Sea ...

The company behind a search for pilot Amelia Earhart's possible crash site in the Pacific said a sonar image believed to resemble her plane turned out to be the sea floor's normal shapes. Marine ...

Galaxies in the universe today have come a long way from the first structures that emerged after the Big Bang. Galaxies like our own Milky Way are composed of hundreds of billions of stars these days, ...

Biomolecules reorganize between alternative conformations to perform their functions. Mapping out all their different conformations is critical to understanding how they work. Cryoelectron microscopy ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
