  text: Embroidery is a long-standing and high-quality approach to making logos and
    images on textiles. Nowadays, it can also be performed via automated machines
    that weave threads with high spatial accuracy. A characteristic feature of the
    appearance of the threads is a high degree of anisotropy. The anisotropic behavior
    is caused by depositing thin but long strings of thread. As a result, the stitched
    patterns convey both color and direction. Artists leverage this anisotropic behavior
    to enhance pure color images with textures, illusions of motion, or depth cues.
    However, designing colorful embroidery patterns with prescribed directionality
    is a challenging task, one usually requiring an expert designer. In this work,
    we propose an interactive algorithm that generates machine-fabricable embroidery
    patterns from multi-chromatic images equipped with user-specified directionality
    fields.We cast the problem of finding a stitching pattern into vector theory.
    To find a suitable stitching pattern, we extract sources and sinks from the divergence
    field of the vector field extracted from the input and use them to trace streamlines.
    We further optimize the streamlines to guarantee a smooth and connected stitching
    pattern. The generated patterns approximate the color distribution constrained
    by the directionality field. To allow for further artistic control, the trade-off
    between color match and directionality match can be interactively explored via
    an intuitive slider. We showcase our approach by fabricating several embroidery
    paths.

  text: The recently published Kepler mission Data Release 25 (DR25) reported on ∼197 000
    targets observed during the mission. Despite this, no wide search for red giants
    showing solar-like oscillations have been made across all stars observed in Kepler’s
    long-cadence mode. In this work, we perform this task using custom apertures on
    the Kepler pixel files and detect oscillations in 21 914 stars, representing the
    largest sample of solar-like oscillating stars to date. We measure their frequency
    at maximum power, νmax, down to νmax≃4μHz and obtain log (g) estimates with a
    typical uncertainty below 0.05 dex, which is superior to typical measurements
    from spectroscopy. Additionally, the νmax distribution of our detections show
    good agreement with results from a simulated model of the Milky Way, with a ratio
    of observed to predicted stars of 0.992 for stars with 10<νmax<270μHz. Among our
    red giant detections, we find 909 to be dwarf/subgiant stars whose flux signal
    is polluted by a neighbouring giant as a result of using larger photometric apertures
    than those used by the NASA Kepler science processing pipeline. We further find
    that only 293 of the polluting giants are known Kepler targets. The remainder
    comprises over 600 newly identified oscillating red giants, with many expected
    to belong to the Galactic halo, serendipitously falling within the Kepler pixel
    files of targeted stars.

  text: Segmentation is the process of partitioning digital images into meaningful
    regions. The analysis of biological high content images often requires segmentation
    as a first step. We propose ilastik as an easy-to-use tool which allows the user
    without expertise in image processing to perform segmentation and classification
    in a unified way. ilastik learns from labels provided by the user through a convenient
    mouse interface. Based on these labels, ilastik infers a problem specific segmentation.
    A random forest classifier is used in the learning step, in which each pixel's
    neighborhood is characterized by a set of generic (nonlinear) features. ilastik
    supports up to three spatial plus one spectral dimension and makes use of all
    dimensions in the feature calculation. ilastik provides realtime feedback that
    enables the user to interactively refine the segmentation result and hence further
    fine-tune the classifier. An uncertainty measure guides the user to ambiguous
    regions in the images. Real time performance is achieved by multi-threading which
    fully exploits the capabilities of modern multi-core machines. Once a classifier
    has been trained on a set of representative images, it can be exported and used
    to automatically process a very large number of images (e.g. using the CellProfiler
    pipeline). ilastik is an open source project and released under the BSD license
    at www.ilastik.org.
