Extension of geographical distribution of three common species of diurnal butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) from the Colombian Caribbean

En este documento se registran tres especies comunes de mariposas diurnas de la región Caribe colombiana (Aides dysoni, Calpodes ethlius y Anteos clorinde). Los especímenes fueron capturados con red entomológica en muestreos realizados en el municipio de Arjona (departamento de Bolívar) en el año de 2015 entre las 8:00 y 16:00 horas. Para cada una de ellas se proporcionan caracteres morfológicos útiles para su reconocimiento y se complementa su distribución en el Neotrópico.In this document we extend the geographical distribution for three common species of diurnal butterflies from the Colombian Caribbean region (Aides dysoni, Calpodes ethlius, and Anteos clorinde). The specimens were captured with an insect net in samplings conducted in the Arjona jurisdiction (Bolivar, Deparment) in 2015, between 8:00 and 16:00 hours. For each of them we provide important morphological characters for their recognition, and complement their distribution in the Neotropic

Analysis of 3D segmented anatomical districts through grey-levels mapping

Nowadays, image processing and 3D shape analysis are an integral part of clinical practice and have the potentiality to support clinicians with advanced analysis and visualization techniques. The main contribution of the paper is the integration of these two approaches in order to increase the amount of information available and, thus, allow a more accurate analysis of each patient. Given a segmented anatomical district, we propose a novel mapping of volumetric data onto the segmented surface. The grey levels of the image voxels are mapped through a volume-surface correspondence map, which defines a grey level texture on the segmented surface. The resulting texture mapping is coherent to the local morphology of the segmented anatomical structure and provides an enhanced visual representation of the anatomical district. The integration of volume-based and surface-based information in a unique 3D representation also supports the identification and characterization of morphological landmarks and pathology evaluations

Mapping grey-levels on 3D segmented anatomical districts

The study aims to perform a simple but effective integration of geometric information of segmented 3D bones' surface and density information provided by volume MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Such a representation method could support diagnosis process, biomedical simulation, computed assisted surgery and prosthesis fitting. The input consists of a volume MRI of a carpal district and the corresponding 3D surface model. The algorithm superimposes image and surface, and, once found the image voxel correspondent to each surface point, maps the grey level of the voxels identified on the segmented surface. The output is a surface mesh on which the texture, induced by the MRI, has been mapped. The approach is effective, general and applicable to different anatomical districts. Further elaboration of the results can be used to perform landmark identification or segmentation correction

Feature-based characterisation of patient-specific 3d anatomical models

This paper aims to examine the potential of 3D shape analysis integrated to machine learning techniques in supporting medical investigation. In particular, we introduce an approach specially designed for the characterisation of anatomical landmarks on patient-specific 3D carpal bone models represented as triangular meshes. Furthermore, to identify functional articulation regions, two novel district-based properties are defined. The performance of both state of the art and novel features has been evaluated in a machine learning setting to identify a set of significant anatomical landmarks on patient data. Experiments have been performed on a carpal dataset of 56 patient-specific 3D models that are segmented from T1 weighed magnetic resonance (MR) scans of healthy male subjects. Despite the typical large inter-patient shape variation within the training samples, our framework has achieved promising results
