    摘要: A gum diagnosis assisting apparatus includes a sectional data extractor configured to extract sectional data in a depth direction of a gum marginal portion from three-dimensional point group data of a frontal view of an oral cavity, and a gum diagnosis data generator configured to process the sectional data into a format suitable to a gum diagnosis to generate gum diagnosis data. The gum diagnosis data generator is configured to generate, for example, a two-dimensional graph as the gum diagnosis data with a right-left direction or the up-down direction of the frontal view of the oral cavity as a first axis and the depth direction of the frontal view of the oral cavity as a second axis.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for graphing networks. In one embodiment, a dampening heuristic is utilized to graph networks to increase their stability. Nodes are visualized by finding local and global minima and equilibrium positions. Factors such as the influence of neighboring nodes; attraction and repulsion phases; and dynamism of complex networks are addressed by embodiments of the present invention. The stability of nodes are measured quantitatively using vectors, degree of influence of neighboring nodes on other nodes, and updating dampening heuristics.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for electronically assessing a visual significance of pixels or regions in an electronic image are disclosed. A method includes receiving the electronic image, performing a composition analysis on the electronic image, the composition analysis includes partitioning the electronic image into a plurality of segments or a plurality of parts, constructing an attributed composition graph having a plurality of nodes, where each node corresponds to a segment or a part and where each node includes one or more attributes, modeling the visual significance of the electronic image based on the attributed composition graph using a statistical modeling process or a computational modeling process to obtain a plurality of values, and constructing a composition significance map having a significance score for each segment or each part according to the values obtained from the statistical modeling process or the computational modeling process.

    摘要: This disclosure concerns a method for enhancing vision for a vision impaired user comprises. A processor, such as a controller of a retinal prosthesis, determines based on input image data a shape associated with an object represented by the input image data. The processor then determines for each of multiple areas of the input image data a coverage value that indicates to what extent the shape covers that area of the input image. Each of the multiple areas is associated with one of multiple imaging elements of the retinal prosthesis. The processor then determines an output value for each of the multiple imaging elements of the retinal prosthesis, such that when the output values are applied to the imaging elements to create a visual stimulus, a contrast is perceivable between a first element and a second element based on their respective coverage values.
