    Abstract: A method for assessing a condition of an organ or tissue of a target object is provided. The method may include: obtaining a target image of the target object; segmenting a target region from the target image, the target region of the target image corresponding to a sub-region of the organ or tissue; determining a morphological characteristic value of the target region in the target image; obtaining a reference standard associated with a sample organ or tissue of a plurality of sample objects, the sample organ or tissue being of a same type as the organ or tissue of the target object; and assessing the condition of the organ or tissue of the target object by comparing the morphological characteristic value of the target region in the target image with the reference standard.

    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to render a foreground video. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a plurality of video frames that include depth data and color data. The method further includes downsampling the frames of the video. The method further includes, for each frame, generating an initial segmentation mask that categorizes each pixel of the frame as foreground pixel or background pixel. The method further includes determining a trimap that classifies each pixel of the frame as known background, known foreground, or unknown. The method further includes, for each pixel that is classified as unknown, calculating and storing a weight in a weight map. The method further includes performing fine segmentation to obtain a binary mask for each frame. The method further includes upsampling the plurality of frames based on the binary mask for each frame to obtain a foreground video.

    Abstract: The present disclosure may provide a method for segmenting an image. The method may include obtaining an image and related information. The image may include a tumor region. The method may also include determining a region of interest in the image. The region of interest may include the tumor region. The method may also include performing a first segmentation of the region of interest to obtain a first segmentation result. The first segmentation may include: determining tumor morphology relating to the tumor region; performing a second segmentation of the region of interest to obtain a second segmentation result; and optimizing, based on the tumor morphology, the second segmentation result to obtain the first segmentation result.

    Abstract: Hand segmentation on wearable devices is a challenging computer vision problem with a complex background because of varying illumination conditions, computational capacity of device(s), different skin tone of users from varied race, and presence of skin color background. The present application provides systems and methods for performing, in real time, hand segmentation by pre-processing an input image to improve contrast and removing noise/artifacts. Multi Orientation Matched Filter (MOMF) is implemented and applied on the pre-processed image by rotating the MOMF at various orientations to form an edge image which comprises strong edges and weak edges. Weak edges are further removed using morphological operation. The edge image is then added to the input image (or pre-processed image) to separate different texture region in image. Largest skin-color blob is then extracted which is considered to be correct segmented hand.
