Johns Hopkins sophomore student Florin Selaru develops a new scheme to deconvolve colors in histological sections for digital pathology.

It greatly outperforms traditional linear color deconvolution.

Congrats Florin!

For the people using PIV : lots of parameters can be derived, mean speed, correlation length, Vrms,etc. Surprisingly, nobody never reports TKE, is there any reason for that ?
