In a laser cataract procedure that also corrects for astigmatism, an iris registration method compares an iris image of a patient's eye taken when the eye is not docked to a patient interface device with an iris image of the same eye that is docked to the patient interface, to calculate a rotation angle between the two images. The astigmatism axis of the eye is measured when the eye is not docked, and the measured axis is rotated by the calculated rotation angle to obtain a rotated astigmatism axis relative to the iris image of the docked eye. The laser cataract procedure is performed based on the rotated astigmatism axis. The rotation angle is calculated by optimizing a transformation that transforms the undocked iris image to match the docked iris image, where the transformation includes a dilation factor that accounts for different pupil dilation of the two iris images.

A material data collection system allows capturing of material data. For example, the material data collection system may include digital image data for materials. The material data collection system may ensure that captured digital image data is properly aligned, so that material data may be easily recalled for later use, while maintaining the proper alignment for the captured digital image. The material data collection system may include using a capture guide, to provide cues on how to orient a mobile device used with the material data collection system.

A holographic display apparatus capable of providing an expanded viewing window and a display method are provided. The holographic display apparatus includes an image processor configured to provide computer generated hologram (CGH) data to a spatial light modulator, wherein the image processor is further configured to generate a hologram data array comprising information of the holographic image to be reproduced at the first resolution or a resolution less than the first resolution, perform an off-axis phase computation on the hologram data array at the second resolution, and then, generate the CHG data at the first resolution.

Aspects described herein provide a computer-implemented method and system for generating topographic map data at different scales. More specifically, the topographic map data is reduced from large scale to small scale, wherein the scale of the vector features is reduced according to their geometry, feature type and attributes. In order to quickly and easily output digital maps at different scales so that a user may quickly zoom in and out of a map, different zoom levels are produced for different scales, each zoom level containing a variable amount of detail according to its scale, with larger scale zoom levels generally containing more detail than small scale zoom levels. Each zoom level is made up of one or more vector tiles representative of a geographic area, wherein the vector tiles may contain one or more vector features that are representative of objects within that geographic area, and other information related to that geographical area.

This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for multi-modal image super-resolution. Conventional methods for multi-modal image super-resolution are performed using joint image based filtering, deep learning and dictionary based approaches which require large datasets for training. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a joint optimization based transform learning framework wherein a high-resolution (HR) image of target modality is reconstructed from a HR image of guidance modality and a low-resolution (LR) image of target modality. A set of parameters, transforms, coefficients and weight matrices are learnt jointly from a training data which includes a HR image of guidance modality, a LR image of target modality and a HR image of target modality. The learnt set of parameters are used for reconstructing a HR image of target modality. The disclosed joint optimization transform learning framework is used in remote sensing, environment monitoring and so on.

A computer system is provided for training a neural network that converts images. Input images are applied to the neural network and a difference in image values is determined between predicted image data and target image data. A Fast Fourier Transform is taken of the difference. The neural network is trained on based the L1 Norm of resulting frequency data.

Systems and methods of encoding display data include performing a part of a first predetermined transform algorithm on at least a first part of a first frame of display data, and analyzing a light level to determine whether a different transform algorithm would be more suitable for encoding a second part of the first frame of the display data. If it is determined that a different transform algorithm would be more suitable for encoding, the second part of the first frame of the display data is encoded using the different transform algorithm to generate an encoded first frame. If it is determined that a different transform algorithm would not be more suitable for encoding, the second part of the first frame of the display data is encoded using the first predetermined transform algorithm to generate the encoded first frame.

A direct structured illumination microscopy (dSIM) reconstruction method is provided. First, a time domain modulation signal is extracted through a wavelet. Then, an incoherent signal is converted into a coherent signal. Next, an accumulation amount at each pixel is calculated. Finally, a super-resolution image is generated by using a correlation between signals at different spatial positions. An autocorrelation algorithm of dSIM is insensitive to an error of a reconstruction parameter. dSIM bypasses a complex frequency domain operation in structured illumination microscopy (SIM) image reconstruction, and prevents an artifact caused by the parameter error in the frequency domain operation. The dSIM algorithm has high adaptability and can be used in laboratory SIM, nonlinear SIM imaging systems, or commercial systems.

A method, computer system, and computer-readable medium are provided for point cloud attribute coding by at least one processor. Data associated with a point cloud is received. The received data is transformed through a lifting decomposition based on enabling a scalable coding of attributes associated with the lifting decomposition. The point cloud is reconstructed based on the transformed data.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards systems and method for characterizing wettability. Embodiments may include acquiring, using at least one processor, multi-physics data and transforming the multi-physics data into transformed data that is more sensitive to wettability than the multi-physics data. Embodiments may further include processing, using a data processing engine, the acquired and transformed data using at least one of a data correlation technique and an inversion technique.
