Computational workflows for natural and biomedical image processing based on hypercomplex algebras.
Article in Patterns (New York, N.Y.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Quaternions, a type of hypercomplex number, can be applied to handling three-dimensional data, i.e., color images. Here, we demonstrate, by leveraging quaternions and the two-dimensional orthogonal planes split framework, image processing workflows for natural and biomedical images, including natural and biomedical image recolorization, natural image decolorization, natural and biomedical image contrast enhancement, and computational restaining and stain separation in histological images. We also demonstrate performance gains in machine learning and deep learning pipelines for histological images. The proposed workflows can regulate color appearance and image contrast, be part of automated processing pipelines, and assist in digital pathology applications. Employing basic arithmetic and matrix operations, this work offers a computationally accessible methodology that showcases versatility and consistency across processing tasks and a range of computer vision and biomedical applications. The proposed non-data-driven methods achieve comparable or better results to those reported in the literature, showcasing the potential of robust theoretical frameworks with practical effectiveness.
