Amod Jog

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department where I am a member of the Image Analysis and Communications Laboratory. I completed my Ph.D in 2016 in the Computer Science department at JHU. Currently my research interests are in intensity normalization and contrast synthesis in human brain magnetic resonance imaging. I am generally interested in medical image analysis, computer vision and machine learning.

Random Tips

• Latex Tips
• List all the files in a directory with full path: ls -d -1 $PWD/**
• Cropping images using convert - convert image.png -crop '160x218+30+20' image_cropped.png 160x218 is image size, +30+20 are the row and column offsets
• A gentler colour scheme for TexShop
• Word wrap in vim without breaking words and removing short lines
• Renaming files in a folder. This command replaces the long string starting from "mprage..." to "lToads" in the filenames: for file in *.nii ; do mv -i "${file}" "${file/mprage_pp_clone_lToads_seg_replaced_replaced_replaced/lToads}"; done
• Finding a folder/file with a particular string in a directory (recursively): find dirname -i "*STRING*"
• Finding a line of text in a file residing in a folder. r - recursive, n - gives the line number, w - matches the whole word: grep -rnw '/folder/to/search/' -e "pattern"
