OPENCV \ library - 0 views

  •  
    OpenCV is an open source computer vision library originally developed by Intel. It is free for commercial and research use under a BSD license. The library is cross-platform, and runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It focuses mainly towards real-time image processing, as such, if it finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives on the system, it will use these commercial optimized routines to accelerate itself. This implementation is not a complete port of OpenCV. Currently, this library supports : * real-time capture * video file import * basic image treatment (brightness, contrast, threshold, …) * object detection (face, body, …) * blob detection Future versions will include more advanced functions such as motion analysis, object and color tracking, multiple OpenCV object instances … For more information about OpenCV visit the Open Source Computer Vision Library Intel webpage, the OpenCV Library Wiki, and the OpenCV Reference Manual (pdf).

SourceForge.net: CloudBurst - cloudburst-bio - 0 views

    CloudBurst: Highly Sensitive Short Read Mapping with MapReduce Michael Schatz Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, University of Maryland Next-generation DNA sequencing machines are generating an enormous amount of sequence data, placing unprecedented demands on traditional single-processor read mapping algorithms. CloudBurst is a new parallel read-mapping algorithm optimized for mapping next-generation sequence data to the human genome and other reference genomes, for use in a variety of biological analyses including SNP discovery, genotyping, and personal genomics. It is modeled after the short read mapping program RMAP, and reports either all alignments or the unambiguous best alignment for each read with any number of mismatches or differences. This level of sensitivity could be prohibitively time consuming, but CloudBurst uses the open-source Hadoop implementation of MapReduce to parallelize execution using multiple compute nodes. CloudBurst's running time scales linearly with the number of reads mapped, and with near linear speedup as the number of processors increases. In a 24-processor core configuration, CloudBurst is up to 30 times faster than RMAP executing on a single core, while computing an identical set of alignments. In a large remote compute clouds with 96 cores, CloudBurst reduces the running time from hours to mere minutes for typical jobs involving mapping of millions of short reads to the human genome. CloudBurst is available open-source as a model for parallelizing other bioinformatics algorithms with MapReduce.

SourceForge.net: Running CloudBurst on Amazon EC2 - cloudburst-bio - 0 views

  •  
    Hadoop comes bundled with launch scripts to simplify initializing an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) cloud for Hadoop. Once initialized, running CloudBurst is identical to running on a local cluster. If you use EC2 regularly with the same datasets (i.e. the human genome as a reference), you will probably want to copy the data once to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) so you can quickly copy the data from S3 to your cloud at low cost.
