A method to assess a subject diagnosis is provided. The method includes receiving an image from an image-capturing device, the image comprising an area of interest in a test cartridge, and finding a border of the area of interest of the test cartridge and applying a geometrical transformation on an area delimited by the border of the test cartridge to bring the image of the area of interest in the test cartridge to a selected size and a selected shape. The method also includes identifying a target region within the area of interest of the test cartridge, evaluating a quality of the image based on a characteristic feature of the target region, and providing commands to adjust an optical coupling in the image-capturing device when the quality of the image is lower than a selected threshold.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to automatically annotating images. In some embodiments, a system for automatically annotating images comprises a database, wherein the database is configured to store images and annotations for the images and a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is communicatively coupled to the database, and wherein the control circuit is configured to retrieve, from the database, an image, generate, based on the image, a collection of augmented images, generate segmentation maps for each image in the collection of augmented images, wherein each of the segmentation maps include segments, select, based on a threshold, ones of the segments above a threshold, merge the ones of the segments above the threshold to create a segmented image, and generate, for each segment of the segmented image, classifications, wherein an annotation for the image includes the segmented images and the classifications.

In some implementations, a device may detect edges in an image, and may identify, based on the edges, a rectangle that bounds a document in the image. The device may detect lines in the image, and may identify edge candidate lines by discarding one or more of the lines. The device may identify intersection points where lines, included in the edge candidate lines, intersect with one another. The device may identify corner candidate points by discarding one or more points included in the intersection points, and may identify a corner point included in the corner candidate points. The corner point may be a point, included in the corner candidate points, that is closest to one corner of the bounding rectangle. The device may perform perspective correction on the image of the document based on identifying the corner point.

Provided are a facial expression recognition method and system combined with an attention mechanism. The method comprises: detecting faces comprised in each video frame in a video sequence, and extracting corresponding facial ROIs, so as to obtain facial pictures in each video frame; aligning the facial pictures in each video frame on the basis of location information of facial feature points of the facial pictures; inputting the aligned facial pictures into a residual neural network, and extracting spatial features of facial expressions corresponding to the facial pictures; inputting the spatial features of the facial expressions into a hybrid attention module to acquire fused features of the facial expressions; inputting the fused features of the facial expressions into a gated recurrent unit, and extracting temporal features of the facial expressions; and inputting the temporal features of the facial expressions into a fully connected layer, and classifying and recognizing the facial expressions.

An apparatus with a processing unit configured to obtain scanning information of a two-dimensional scan of a surface is described herein. The processing unit is further configured to obtain positional information indicating an inclination of a capturing unit with respect to the surface, said capturing unit providing the two-dimensional scan and to evaluate the scanning information using the positional information with respect to a localization of the capturing unit relative to the surface.

According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include: a display including a polarization layer, a biometric sensor positioned to at least partially overlap the display, and an optical member including a light condenser positioned between the display and the biometric sensor. The biometric sensor may include a light receiving unit comprising light receiving circuitry configured to receive light emitted from the display and reflected by an external object. A length of the light receiving unit in a first direction, which is a polarization axis direction of the polarization layer, is greater than a length of the light receiving unit in a second direction crossing the first direction.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing digital microscopy imaging using deep learning-based segmentation and/or implementing instance segmentation based on partial annotations. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive first and second images, the first image comprising a field of view of a biological sample, while the second image comprises labeling of objects of interest in the biological sample. The computing system might encode, using an encoder, the second image to generate third and fourth encoded images (different from each other) that comprise proximity scores or maps. The computing system might train an AI system to predict objects of interest based at least in part on the third and fourth encoded images. The computing system might generate (using regression) and decode (using a decoder) two or more images based on a new image of a biological sample to predict labeling of objects in the new image.
