The present disclosure relates to a system and method for medical imaging. An imaging device having a table may be provided. Scans of a subject located on the table at multiple table positions may be performed based on a scanning protocol, each scan covering a portion of the subject. Data may be acquired based on the scans of the subject. An image may be reconstructed based on the acquired data.

Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations involved in analysis of images acquired in a defined area, as part of generating mapping information of the defined area for subsequent use (e.g., for controlling navigation of devices, for display on client devices in corresponding GUIs, etc.). The defined area may include an interior of a multi-room building, and the generated information including a floor map of the building, such as from an analysis of multiple 360° spherical panorama images acquired at various viewing locations within the building (e.g., using an image acquisition device with a spherical camera having one or more fisheye lenses to capture a panorama image that extends 360 degrees around a vertical axis)—the generating may be further performed without detailed information about distances from the images' viewing locations to objects in the surrounding building.

A method and system for three-dimensional video content processing is disclosed comprising an operation of receiving first video data representing three-dimensional video content arranged as a plurality of first tiles associated with respective sub-areas of an image. Another operation comprises providing data indicating for each first tile a depth range of video content within said tile. Another operation comprises determining for each first tile a respective volume based on the depth range. Another operation comprises determining a field of view of a user in relation to the first tile volumes. Another operation comprises rendering of the first video data for one or more first tiles only if their determined volume is at least partially within the field of view.

The method includes: providing a chip plate and a plurality of photographing assemblies, where the chip plate is used to place a chip tray, and the photographing assemblies are used to capture images of the chip plate; acquiring a chip plate image captured by each photographing assembly, where the chip plate image is an image of the chip plate with a partial area and the chip tray placed on the chip plate; acquiring a chip tray image included in each chip plate image, where the chip tray image is an image of the chip tray with a partial area; and fitting the plurality of chip tray images to acquire a chip image, where the chip image is an image of an entire chip tray.

An image is displayed without impairing visibility, even in the case of a screen having a limited size. A display setting unit includes a target image display unit that displays an image of a workpiece on an LCD, an image selection unit that, in accordance with a selection operation, selects all or part of the image of the workpiece displayed on the LCD, a menu display unit that displays a menu image so as to be overlapped with the image of the workpiece in a translucent state, the menu image being made up of a plurality of parts that are partial images for displaying information or receiving an input operation, and a display switching unit that, in accordance with a switching instruction given via the operation unit, switches the size of the area occupied by the menu image on the LCD.

The invention relates to a method of 3D reconstruction of a scene by means of 2D panoramic images of the scene, which comprises a step of processing these images. These images arise from a panoramic system moving in displacement along a determined trajectory, such that the image of at least one point of the scene is in at least 3 successive images obtained according to various directions; the step of processing these 2D successive images comprises the sub-steps: a) determining reconstruction planes in the scene to be reconstructed, b) determining, on the basis of pairs of panoramic images and for each pair, rectification planes corresponding to the reconstruction planes and projecting onto each of them a sector of each image of the pair, in a direct manner, so as to obtain two 2D rectified images, c) matching the two 2D rectified images so as to obtain an intermediate 3D reconstruction, d) transforming each intermediate 3D reconstruction into a 3D frame including the reconstruction planes so as to obtain a transformed intermediate 3D reconstruction, e) repeating steps b) to d) on the basis of a new pair of 2D panoramic images and of at least one other rectification plane, so as to obtain at least one other transformed intermediate 3D reconstruction, f) temporally fusing at least two transformed intermediate 3D reconstructions so as to obtain a 3D reconstruction of the scene.

A characteristic point extraction unit extracts a characteristic point in an overlapping region of a plurality of component images picked up using a camera built in portable equipment and having pan angles or elevation angles different from each other. A self-position estimation unit estimates three-dimensional coordinate values of the characteristic point and three-dimensional coordinate values of a camera position, which are associated with each other, at the same time in two component images in which the camera positions are displaced from each other. A panoramic image generation unit adjusts, based on the estimated three-dimensional coordinate values of the camera position, the three-dimensional coordinate values of the characteristic point of the component image to correct the component image and combine a plurality of component images having pan angles or elevation angles different from each other to generate a synthesis image.
