Image handling and display in X-ray mammography and tomosynthesis
A method and system for acquiring, processing, storing, and displaying x-ray mammograms Mp tomosynthesis images Tr representative of breast slices, and x-ray tomosynthesis projection images Tp taken at different angles to a breast, where the Tr images are reconstructed from Tp images.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED ANGIOGRAPHY
A method for analyzing computed tomography angiography (CTA) data is provided. The method includes receiving, at a processor, three-dimensional (3D) CTA data. The method also includes automatically, via the processor, detecting objects of interest within the 3D CTA data. The method further includes generating, via the processor, a CTA image volume that only includes the objects of interest.
User interface system and method for enabling mark-based interaction for images
Disclosed is a user interface which enables mark based interaction for images. The present disclosure relates to a user interface which enables mark based interaction for images, the images comprising a volume which is a three-dimensional image and slices which are two-dimensional images, each of which represents a cross section of the volume. At least two of the images each include the same visual mark for identifying at least one common region of interest. The user interface comprises: an input unit for receiving a user input associated with the same visual mark included in one of the images; and at least one component for enabling the interaction for the images including the same visual mark associated with the user input.
Performing spherical denoising
In order to perform denoising on a three-dimensional (3D) spherical measurement of light (such as spherical irradiance probe information or the results of a 3D gonioreflectometry capture), the 3D spherical measurement of light is converted to a two-dimensional (2D) measurement by creating multiple copies of the 3D spherical measurement of light, determining a two-dimensional sub-domain (e.g., a rectangular sub-domain) for each of the multiple copies, and stitching the plurality of two-dimensional sub-domains together in a toroidal configuration. Denoising may then be performed on this 2D measurement via a machine learning implementation or other means. This may result in more accurate 3D spherical light probes that require fewer light measurement samples to generate accurate light measurements.
Method and Apparatus for User Guidance for the Choice of a Two-Dimensional Angiographic Projection
Systems and methods provide guidance for selection of projection perspectives to utilize to obtain complementary combinations of projection images of an object. The systems and methods provide a bi-dimensional first image of the object which has been obtained from a first perspective. A map of values associated with different candidate perspectives relative to the first perspective is determined, wherein the value associated with a given candidate perspective is determined from at least one parameter indicative of a degree to which the given candidate perspective complements the first perspective and at least one weighting parameter. The map can be displayed or evaluated to select at least one candidate perspective to utilize to acquire or obtain a combination of complementary projection images.
Video refocusing
A video refocusing system operates in connection with refocusable video data, information, images and/or frames, which may be light field video data, information, images and/or frames, that may be focused and/or refocused after acquisition or recording. A video acquisition device acquires first refocusable light field video data of a scene, stores first refocusable video data representative of the first refocusable light field video data, acquires second refocusable light field video data of the scene after acquiring the first refocusable light field video data, determines a first virtual focus parameter (such as a virtual focus depth) using the second refocusable light field video data, generates first video data using the stored first refocusable video data and the first virtual focus parameter, wherein the first video data includes a focus depth that is different from an optical focus depth of the first refocusable light field video data, and outputs the first video data.
Two-dimensional mapping system and method of operation
A method and system of generating a two-dimensional map with an optical scanner is provided. The method comprises acquiring coordinate data of points in an area being scanned with a mobile optical scanner. A current 2D map from the coordinate data is generated. A copy of the current 2D map is saved on a periodic or aperiodic basis. At least one data registration error is identified in the current 2D map. The saved copy of the current 2D map from a point in time prior to the registration error is determined. A second data set of coordinate data acquired after the determined saved copy is identified. The second data set is aligned to the determined saved copy to form a new current 2D map. The new current 2D map is stored in memory.
Method and apparatus for generating an adapted slice image from a focal stack
A method for generating an adapted slice image from a focal stack of refocused images using an all-in-focus image derived from the focal stack comprises: selecting a slice image in the focal stack; selecting at least one object in the all-in-focus image to be focused in the adapted slice image; and generating the adapted slice image by combining the selected at least one object in the all-in-focus image onto the selected slice image.
IMAGE HANDLING AND DISPLAY IN X-RAY MAMMOGRAPHY AND TOMOSYNTHESIS
A method and system for acquiring, processing, storing, and displaying x-ray mammograms Mp tomosynthesis images Tr representative of breast slices, and x-ray tomosynthesis projection images Tp taken at different angles to a breast, where the Tr images are reconstructed from Tp images
Customized, additive-manufactured outerwear and methods for manufacturing thereof
Described herein is customized outerwear created through additive manufacturing to provide for a plurality of materials, patterns and shapes that are customized for a particular user. The outerwear is designed through the use of a three-dimensional (3D) model of a body part, such as an additively-manufactured shoe for a foot. The 3D model is analyzed to provide detailed information on the anatomical features of the body part, which aids in the selection of specific materials, patterns of materials and shapes that are integrated into the design of the customized outerwear. The design is then loaded into an additive manufacturing machine, such as a 3D printer, for inexpensive and rapid manufacturing.
