Deriving the information may include performing segmentation based on the data included in the primary area of each processed field image, and obtaining flux measurements based on other data included in the overlapping areas. The device may cause the information to be loaded in a data structure to enable statistical analysis of the spatial mapping for identifying factors defining normal tissue structure, associated inflammatory or neoplastic diseases and prognoses thereof, and associated therapeutics. | 2021-11-11 |
20210350539 | ULTRASOUND IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD - An ultrasound imaging system and method includes acquiring ultrasound image data while moving an ultrasound probe, automatically identifying a plurality of segments of interest in the ultrasound image data, automatically applying temporal scaling to at least one of the plurality of segments of interest, and displaying the ultrasound image data as a panoramic view comprising a plurality of videos, where each of the plurality of videos is based on a different one of the plurality of the segments of interest, and where, based on the temporal scaling, each of the plurality of videos in the panoramic view takes the same amount of time to play. | 2021-11-11 |
20210350540 | PROVIDING A MASK IMAGE - A method and system for providing a mask image including receiving medical image data including a temporal dimension and generating a frequency data set including data points with in each case one frequency value by applying a Fourier transform to the image data. The Fourier transform is applied at least along the temporal dimension. The frequency data set is segmented into two sub-areas based on at least a frequency threshold value. The mask image is generated by applying an inverse Fourier transform to the first and/or the second sub-area of the frequency data set. The generated mask image is provided. | 2021-11-11 |
20210350541 | PORTRAIT EXTRACTING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The disclosure provides a portrait extracting method, a portrait extracting apparatus and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining an image to be processed; obtaining a semantic segmentation result and an instance segmentation result of the image, in which the semantic segmentation result includes a mask image of a portrait area of the image, and the instance segmentation result includes a mask image of at least one portrait in the image; fusing the mask. image of the at least one portrait and the mask image of the portrait area to generate a fused mask image of the at least one portrait; and extracting the at least one portrait in the image based on the fused mask image of the at least one portrait. | 2021-11-11 |
20210350542 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING TARGET REGIONS PRIOR TO ORGANS AT RISK SEGMENTATION - A method and device for generating a three dimensional (3D) bounding box of a region of interest (ROI) of a patient include receiving a two dimensional (2D) maximum intensity projection (MIP) image that is an axial view of the patient and a 2D MW image that is a sagittal view of the patient. A first 2D bounding box of the ROI of the patient and a second 2D bounding box of the ROI of the patient are detected using the 2D MIP images. A 3D MIP image of the patient is received, and the 3D bounding box of the ROI of the patient is generated using the 3D MW image, the first 2D bounding box, and the second 2D bounding box. The 3D MIP image including the 3D bounding box is provided. | 2021-11-11 |
20210350543 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONSERVATIVE MORPHOLOGICAL ANTIALIASING WITH MULTISAMPLING - An apparatus and method for performing multisampling anti-aliasing. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus samples multiple locations within each pixel of an image frame to generate a plurality of image slices. Each image slice comprises a different set of samples for each of the pixels of the image frame. Anti-aliasing is then performed on the image frame using the image slices by first subdividing the plurality of image slices into equal-sized pixel blocks and determining whether each pixel block has one or more different pixel values in different image slices. If so, then edge detection and simple shape detection is performed using pixel data from a pixel block in a single image slice; if not, then edge detection and simple shape detection is performed using the pixel block in multiple image slices. | 2021-11-11 |
