&#4294967295; The suggestion was: "However, this would be much better if every image processing journal forced authors to post full sized images on the web because you really can't see much in the tiny pictures printed in journals." I don't see much value in this unless the images are maintained with the papers by the publisher. Anything else would tend to suffer as authors change universities or jobs and web sites come and go. The Acoustical Society of America had a publication: Acoustics Research Letters Online that included hyper-linked multimedia content. They are no longer accepting submissions but the content is still accessible. I don't know of any other examples, which is why I asked. I'd like to see that kind of thing as standard. Dale B. Dalrymple

Part of the problem is that different viewers what different levels of detail. The article displays the full image to show the removal of large objects from the image. That can't be done at a pixel by pixel level. It may have been the authors choice as the more useful scale to present. I took the time to go to the authors web site and found a video, presented at a conference, providing more detail. I provided the reference. This was dismissed without viewing as "this shows slimy advertising expertise". At this point, the references to a specific article seem to be more a matter of commercial jealousy than technical consideration. Dale B. Dalrymple

Expanding the search to: ecg wireless data monitoring cuts the number of hits to under 400,000.

1. That is a 46 minute download for me. 2. I downloaded it over a month ago. 3. I am missing codecs to view it. 4. Instead of telling me the version is "larger," why don't you just tell me the dimensions of the version of fig. 11. b contained in that video?

1. You are a liar because I never implied that medical images were "comic" and you know it. 2. Your suggestion that I put as much care and effort in writing for this forum as in writing a technical paper is ridiculous and you know it. I have authored plenty of papers in signal processing which you can properly criticize for usefulness and technical writing skill; just google "S.A.Ruzinsky" . 3. You often use debating tactics typical of lawyers and politicians that are unsuitable for any technical arena, including this forum. That also indicates that you are morally corrupt.

Because the "before" images should be made available for other researchers to verify results. Do you remember the cold fusion debacle? Wouldn't it have been nice if anyone with kitchen utensils could have un-verified those results? Why would anyone want image processing to be less verifiable? The answer is for selfish, immoral interest.

The publishers could provide and maintain the web space at small cost. The publishers could package image DVDs with hard prints. Even without this, the improvement over current practice is still large in terms of benefit to society.

We certainly agree that this would be an improvement. Dale B. Dalrymple

You made the claims and threw out the labels. Do your homework. How did the authors respond when you asked them for the images?

If you remember that publishers don't allow this, why are authors evil for not achieving it?

I consider consistency and reasonable backup for bold claims to be expectations "suitable for any technical arena, including this forum" whether they have been used by lawyers and politicians or not. They are methods that are used to separate discussions from flames and trolls. This is a Usenet group. You get to participate however you choose, but if do, don't be surprised if people notice and talk. That's what Usenet is about. Dale B. Dalrymple

On 1/9/08, I emailed arik@idc.ac.il with one simple technical question. He did not respond therefore I deemed him uncooperative. After that, I am not going to nag an uncooperative author for test images.

Authors are not precluded from voluntarily providing full sized images on the web and providing URLs to these images in their papers. Some do. The authors who don't either haven't considered the potential benefit to society of providing full sized images, or they have. Of the latter, only those who want to misrepresent their work by suppressing experimental evidence for selfish reasons are evil.

Your bold claim, that I lack "consistency and reasonable backup," lacks consistency and reasonable backup, therefore you are a hypocrite. Thus, I, with consistency and reasonable backup, have shown that you are both a liar and a hypocrite.

Your bold claim, that my bold claims lack "consistency and reasonable backup," lacks consistency and reasonable backup, therefore you are a hypocrite. Now, I, with consistency and reasonable backup, have boldly claimed you to be a liar and a hypocrite.
