The Tokai University Research Promotion Department held the 2016 2nd Research Promotion Seminar "Image Processing to Avoid Suspected Image Fraud" on July 2016, 7 at the Shonan Campus and on the 1th at the Isehara Campus.

 The research promotion seminar is an event to provide information that can be used for the daily work and research activities of faculty members and students. A total of about 130 people participated in the venue.

 Mr. Kojo explained that image processing is one of the routine tasks for researchers, taking as an example that images are used in 90% of the papers published in "Nature Science".However, on the other hand, he said, "About 3% of users are worried about the image processing method," and explained the appropriate method for not being suspected of fraud, using actual images as an example. ..

 It was also pointed out that when processing an image, the processing to be performed differs depending on the purpose of use, and it is necessary to record the original image and the processing content applied.In accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, we introduced cases that should not be done, such as distorting images, processing that causes blackouts and overexposure, and processing only one when using two or more images. ..

 Participants were given the opportunity to remind themselves that there are various types of image processing, and that processing can convey research results more effectively. I need to be careful enough, and I'm glad I was able to learn concretely how to use the software. "
