Additional file 7 of Statistical image processing quantifies the changes in cytoplasmic texture associated with aging in Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes

Additional file 7: Figure S4. Comparison of SD and entropy between actual images and Day 3-fied images. a SD and b entropy of actual Day 1, actual Day 3, and the three patterns of Day 3-fied images were calculated using a window size of 3 × 3-pixels. The Smoothed pattern parameter offset was set to 50, 100, and 200. The Large Structure pattern parameter iteration was set to 1, 3, and 5. The Combination pattern parameters (offset, iteration) were set to (50, 1), (50, 3), and (50, 5). Circles indicate the image features of individual animals (n = 10 animals in each age group; orientation of the worms is 0°); red bars indicate the mean values. Error bars indicate SEM. Symbols indicate statistical significance (Tukey–Kramer test) between actual Day1 and actual Day 3 or Day 3-fied images (**P < 0.01) or between actual Day 3 and Day 3-fied images (†P < 0.05; ††P < 0.01); N.S., no significant difference between actual Day 3 and Day 3-fied images.
