An image processing device 1X includes a three-dimensional reconstruction means 31X, a matching means 32X, and an output control means 33X. The three-dimensional reconstruction means 31X generates reconstruction data Mr acquired by three-dimensionally reconstructing an inspection target on a basis of captured images Ic which a photographing unit provided in an endoscope generates by photographing the inspection target. The matching means 32X performs matching between a standard model “Ms”, which is a standard three-dimensional model of the inspection target, and the reconstruction data Mr. The output control means 33X displays on a display device 2X a photographed area indication image indicating a photographed area of the inspection target on the standard model based on a result of the matching.

The invention relates to a positions determination apparatus for determining positions, at which an interventional instrument (3) is located, in a projection image. An input unit (16) allows a user to indicate the position of a tip (23) of the interventional instrument (3) in the projection image, wherein the positions, at which the interventional instrument is located, in the projection image are determined based on the projection image, the indicated tip position and a three-dimensional representation of the interventional instrument, which is defined by its position and shape as determined by a tracking device like an OSS device. By using the projection image, the indicated tip position and the representation the positions in the projection image, at which the interventional instrument is located, can be determined very accurately. Based on these determined positions the projection device and the tracking device can be very accurately registered to each other.

A system includes a processor circuit in communication with an intraluminal imaging device. The processor circuit is configured to receive an intraluminal image obtained by the intraluminal imaging device while the intraluminal imaging device is positioned within a body lumen of a patient. The processor circuit also receive a user input selecting one location within the intraluminal image and another user input selecting another location within the intraluminal image. These two locations within the intraluminal image define boundaries of a sector of the intraluminal image associated with a tissue type. The processor circuit determines an angle of the sector defined by the two locations. The intraluminal image and a visual representation of the angle are displayed on a screen display.

A computer-implemented method for creating a digital canvas for printing on a foldable medium enables a user to create custom designed folded objects, such as custom designed origami envelopes. The method involves receiving a specification and a user input, and placing an image at a desired location within the digital canvas based on the specification and the user input. The specification comprises a first data set describing an intermediate configuration of the folded object and a second data set describing a folded configuration of the folded object. The user input defines a position and/or an orientation of the image in at least one of the intermediate configuration and the folded configuration.

An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a touch interface configured to display a screen comprising an ultrasound image of an object, and receive a user touch on the ultrasound image; and a controller configured to acquire a seed point, at which the user touch is sensed, acquire shape information of the object, and perform a control to display, on the ultrasound image, a touch point corresponding to the user touch, the touch point being determined based on the seed point and the shape information.

A tracking imaging control device includes a target color ratio calculation unit that calculates a ratio at which pixels with a certain range of hue occupy in the histogram as the target color ratio, with reference to the color of the target, and a tracking control unit that controls the pan and/or tilt operation of the camera to cause the camera to track the target, and the tracking control unit controls the pan and/or tilt operation of the camera on the basis of information on the position of the target detected by the first target detection unit when the target color ratio is equal to or lower than a threshold value, and controls the pan and/or tilt operation of the camera on the basis of information on the position of the target detected by the second target detection unit when the target color ratio exceeds the threshold value.

A process, system and device for monitoring a ground engaging tool secured to earth working equipment that includes capturing an image of the ground engaging tool secured to the earth working equipment and subjected to wearing with a mobile device, determining a dimension of the ground engaging tool subject to wear, operating at least one processor and memory storing computer-executable instructions to calculate at least one result including the extent of wear experienced by the ground engaging tool and/or an estimate of when the ground engaging tool will reach a fully worn condition, and/or schedule when to replace the ground engaging tool.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for automatically generating a wafer image to design coordinate mapping. In use, a design of a wafer is received by a computer processor. In addition, an image of a wafer fabricated from the design is received by the computer processor. Further, a coordinate mapping between the design and the image is automatically generated by the computer processor.

A method of visualizing drilling information in a shared visualization environment include receiving a request to initiate a shared visualization session, assigning the requesting client device as the master of the initiated session, and transmitting visualization data to the client device for rendering and display. Additional client devices may join the visualization session and may display the visualization data based on attributes controlled by the master client device. Data displayed in a visualization session may include two- and three-dimensional data representing a composite wellbore derived from actual and planned wellbore data. Generation of the two- and three-dimensional data may include projecting data corresponding to the composite wellbore onto flat and curved planes and may further include supplementing the composite wellbore data with seismic and other drilling-related data.

Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods for determining pleura boundaries of a lung, an exemplary method comprising acquiring image data from an imaging device, generating a set of two-dimensional (2D) slice images based on the acquired image data, determining, by a processor, a seed voxel in a first slice image from the set of 2D slice images, applying, by the processor, a region growing process to the first slice image from the set of 2D slice images starting with the seed voxel using a threshold value, generating, by the processor, a set of binarized 2D slice images based on the region grown from the seed voxel, filtering out, by the processor, connected components of the lung in each slice image of the set of binarized 2D slice images, and identifying, by the processor, the pleural boundaries of the lung based on the set of binarized 2D slice images.
