This specification includes a method that includes receiving, at one or more processing devices at one or more locations, one or more image frames; receiving a set of signals representing outputs of one or more sensors of a device; estimating, based on the one or more image frames, a first set of one or more motion values; estimating, based on the set of signals, a second set of one or more motion values; determining that a degree of correlation between (i) a first motion represented by the first set of one or more motion values and (ii) a second motion represented by the second set of one or more motion values fails to satisfy a threshold condition; and in response to determining that the degree of correlation fails to satisfy the threshold condition, determining presence of an adverse condition associated with the device.

Systems and methods for automated imaging and evaluation of image based features are disclosed herein. Method for automated imaging and evaluation of image based features can include receiving time-lapse images of at least one human embryo contained in a multi-well culture dish that can have a plurality of micro-wells. Image based features can be automatically generated from the time-lapse images of the human embryo. The image based features, which can include a cavitation feature, can be inputted into a classifier. The classifier can automatically and directly generate a viability prediction with the classifier from the image-based features.

A method of detecting misprints obtains a reference image of perfectly-formed characters and a test image showing the same characters. First image processing is performed on the reference image to obtain a first image, and first image processing is performed on the test image to obtain a second image. A second image processing is performed on the first image to obtain a first outline image of each of first characters in the reference image, and the second image processing is performed on the second image to obtain a second outline image of each of second characters in the test image. A corresponding first outline image is determined for the second outline image. A similarity between the corresponding first outline image and the second outline image is calculated. Accordingly, a detection result of the second outline image is determined. The method can detect character flaw accurately.

A system for separating audio based on sound producing objects includes a processor configured to receive video data and audio data. The processor is also configured to perform object detection using the video data to identify a number of sound producing objects in the video data and predict a separation for each sound producing object detected in the video data. The processor is also configured to generate separated audio data for each sound producing object using the separation and the audio data.

A detector for object recognition includes an illumination source for projecting an illumination pattern on an area including at least one object; an optical sensor having a light-sensitive area and configured for determining a first image including a two-dimensional image of the area, and a second image including a plurality of reflection features generated in response to illumination, each reflection feature including a beam profile; an evaluation device for determining beam profile information for each reflection feature by analyzing their beam profiles, determining a three-dimensional image using the determined beam profile information, identifying the reflection features located inside and/or outside an image region, determining a depth level from the beam profile information of the reflection features located inside and/or outside of the image region, determining a material property of the object from the beam profile information, and determining a position and/or orientation of the object.

The technology disclosed relates to structured illumination microscopy (SIM). In particular, the technology disclosed relates to capturing and processing, in real time, numerous image tiles across a large image plane, dividing them into subtiles, efficiently processing the subtiles, and producing enhanced resolution images from the subtiles. The enhanced resolution images can be combined into enhanced images and can be used in subsequent analysis steps.

One or more example embodiments provides a system and a method for differentiating a tissue of interest from another part of a medical scanner image, in particular pectoral muscle tissue from breast tissue in an X-ray mammography image. The method comprises providing a medical scanner image; inputting input data into a trained artificial neural network, the input data being based on the provided medical scanner image; generating, by the trained artificial neural network, output data based on the input data, the output data indicating a one-dimensional borderline between at least a part of the tissue of interest and the at least one other part of the medical scanner image; and outputting an output signal comprising or based on the generated output data.

A method for optical imaging of single protein molecules including tethering single protein molecules via a flexible polymer linker to a glass slide having a surface coated with an indium tin oxide (ITO) so that the single protein molecules are tethered to the coated surface. The single protein molecules are driven into oscillation by applying an alternating electric field to the coated surface and the glass slide is located in the field of view of an objective lens. Incident light is directed onto the coated surface from an angle to generate an evanescent field and produce scattered light. The scattered light is collected and imaged by a CMOS imager to record a sequence of images of the scattered light. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) filter is applied to each pixel of the recorded image sequence to produce an oscillation amplitude image from which size, charge, and mobility of the plurality of single protein molecules can be determined.

Methods and systems for non-contact monitoring of a patient to determine a respiratory parameter such as respiration rate. The systems and methods receive a depth signal from the patient to determine patient movement indicative of respiration. The methods include analyzing multiple regions in a region of interest (ROI) to determine whether or not respiration is occurring in the analyzed region, and preparing a mask with the regions determined to have respiration. The mask is used to determine the respiratory parameter of the patient in the masked ROI.

A blemish detection and characterization system and techniques for an optical imaging device includes determining a ratio of the light intensity of the image lost to the blemish relative to an expected light intensity of the image without the blemish. The system and technique may include receiving an image, transforming an image into a processed image with transformations and filters, as well as determining a relative magnitude of an intensity of a portion of the processed image relative to another area of the image. The system and technique may include taking an action based on the relative magnitude including rejecting a sensor, reworking the sensor, cleaning the sensor, or providing information about the blemish to a system to use in weighing data collected from the sensor.
