Optimal, User-Friendly, Object Background Separation
US Patent:
2013030, Nov 14, 2013
Filed:
Dec 6, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/992552
Inventors:
Michael Abramoff - Iowa City IA, US
Gwenole Quellec - Brest, FR
Gwenole Quellec - Brest, FR
Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF IOWA RESEARCH FOUNDATION - Iowa City IA
International Classification:
G06T 7/00
US Classification:
382128
Abstract:
A method of identifying an object of interest can comprise obtaining first samples of an intensity distribution of one or more object of interest, obtaining second samples of an intensity distribution of confounder objects, transforming the first and second samples into an appropriate first space, performing dimension reduction on the transformed first and second samples, whereby the dimension reduction of the transformed first and second samples generates an object detector, transforming one or more of the digital images into the first space, performing dimension reduction on the transformed digital images, whereby the dimension reduction of the transformed digital images generates one or more reduced images, classifying one or more pixels of the one or more reduced images based on a comparison with the object detector, and identifying one ore more objects of interest from the classified pixels.
System And Methods For Image Segmentation In N-Dimensional Space
US Patent:
8358819, Jan 22, 2013
Filed:
Dec 7, 2007
Appl. No.:

International Classification:
G06K 9/00, G06K 9/34, G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382128, 382173, 382224
Abstract:
A system and methods for the efficient segmentation of globally optimal surfaces representing object boundaries in volumetric datasets is provided. An optical surface detection system and methods are provided that are capable of simultaneously detecting multiple interacting surfaces in which the optimality is controlled by the cost functions designed for individual surfaces and by several geometric constraints defining the surface smoothness and interrelations. The graph search applications use objective functions that incorporate non-uniform cost terms such as “on-surface” costs as well as “in-region” costs.
Automated Determination Of Arteriovenous Ratio In Images Of Blood Vessels

International Classification:
A61B 3/14
US Classification:
351206, 351246
Abstract:
The methods and systems provided can automatically determine an Arteriolar-to-Venular diameter Ratio, AVR, in blood vessels, such as retinal blood vessels and other blood vessels in vertebrates. The AVR is an important predictor of increases in the risk for stroke, cerebral atrophy, cognitive decline, and myocardial infarct.

International Classification:
G06K 9/62, G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382224000, 382128000
Abstract:
Disclosed is an automated method which can detect images containing red lesions. First, each image is preprocessed; next, candidate objects that may represent red-lesions are extracted; and in the final stage the probability for each candidate to represent a red-lesion is estimated using a classifier and a large set of specifically designed features.

International Classification:
G06K 9/46
US Classification:
382190
Abstract:
A method of classifying an optic nerve cup and rim of an eye from a retinal image comprising receiving a retinal image, determining a feature vector for a candidate pixel in the retinal image, and classifying the candidate pixel as a cup pixel or a rim pixel based on the feature vector using a trained classifier. The retinal image can be a stereo pair, the retinal image can be color or monochrome. The method disclosed can further comprise identifying an optic nerve, identifying an optic nerve cup and optic nerve rim, and determining a cup-to-disc ratio.
Systems And Methods For Generating A Three-Dimensional Shape From Stereo Color Images
US Patent:
2014003, Feb 6, 2014

13/980804

Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF IOWA RESEARCH FOUNDATION - IOWA CITY IA
International Classification:
G06T 15/00
US Classification:
345419
Abstract:
This disclosure presents systems and methods for determining the three-dimensional shape of an object. A first image and a second image are transformed into scale space. A disparity map is generated from the first and second images at a coarse scale. The first and second images are then transformed into a finer scale, and the former disparity map is upgraded into a next finer scale. The three-dimensional shape of the object is determined from the evolution of disparity maps in scale space.
