La convolution est utilisée dans le traitement d'image et plus particulièrement dans les applications de vision assistée par ordinateur. Elle aboutit, par exemple, à un renforcement des contours, à un lissage ou encore à la disparition de points parasites.

El Código de Nuremberg(1946), plantea que no es suficiente la ciencia, ni siquiera la buena ciencia, para garantizar la rectitud moral de la investigación. La ciencia natural por sí sola es incapaz de resolver la cuestión ética. La experimentación que se ha llevado a cabo sobre seres humanos, está particularmente obligada a someterse a las normas universales del respeto al hombre. [...] Este código plantea en su primer punto que el consentimiento voluntario del sujeto humano es absolutamente esencial. Esto quiere decir que la persona debe tener capacidad legal para dar su consentimiento, debe estar informada de tal forma que le permita ejercer su libertad de escoger, sin la intervención de cualquier otro elemento de fuerza, fraude, engaño, coacción o algún otro factor posterior para obligar o coercer, y debe tener el suficiente conocimiento y comprensión de los elementos para permitirle tomar una decisión correcta. 3, record 5, Spanish, - C%C3%B3digo%20de%20Nuremberg
