Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper describes the process for automating quality evaluation of bio-objects by their raster images. The main purpose of this study is to describe the decision-making algorithm on the viability of the embryo according to its geometric characteristics, such as the thickness of the pellucid zone, the sphericity of the embryo itself, the ratio of the area of the blastomere to the area of perivitelline space. The authors propose to use the methods for linear filtering raster images to obtain numerical characteristics of the quality of bio-objects.
