Abstract: A method of geodesic image and video processing is proposed. In an embodiment, the method uses a geodesic distance transform to construct an image filter. The filter can be used in a variety of image editing operations such as segmentation, denoising, texture smoothing, image stitching and cartooning. In one embodiment, the method may be made efficient by utilizing parallelism of the algorithm to carry out processing steps on at least two processing cores concurrently. This efficiency may enable high-resolution images and video to be processed at ‘real time’ rates without the need for specialist hardware.

Abstract: Foreground and background image segmentation is described. In an example, a seed region is selected in a foreground portion of an image, and a geodesic distance is calculated from each image element to the seed region. A subset of the image elements having a geodesic distance less than a threshold is determined, and this subset of image elements are labeled as foreground. In another example, an image element from an image showing at least a user, a foreground object in proximity to the user, and a background is applied to trained decision trees to obtain probabilities of the image element representing one of these items, and a corresponding classification assigned to the image element. This is repeated for each image element. Image elements classified as belonging to the user are labeled as foreground, and image elements classified as foreground objects or background are labeled as background.

Abstract: Medical image rendering is described. In an embodiment a medical image visualization engine receives results from an organ recognition system which provide estimated organ centers, bounding boxes and organ classification labels for a given medical image. In examples the visualization engine uses the organ recognition system results to select appropriate transfer functions, bounding regions, clipping planes and camera locations in order to optimally view an organ. For example, a rendering engine uses the selections to render a two-dimensional image of medical diagnostic quality with minimal user input. In an embodiment a graphical user interface populates a list of organs detected in a medical image and a clinician is able to select one organ and immediately be presented with the optimal view of that organ. In an example opacity of background regions of the medical image may be adjusted to provide context for organs presented in a foreground region.

Abstract: A method of up-sampling binary images for segmentation is described. In an embodiment, digital images are down-sampled before segmentation. The resulting initial binary segmentation, which has a lower resolution than the original image, is then up-sampled and smoothed to generate an interim non-binary solution which has a higher resolution than the initial binary segmentation. The final binary segmentation for the image is then computed from the interim non-binary solution based on a threshold. This method does not use the original image data in inferring the final binary segmentation solution from the initial binary segmentation. In an embodiment, the method may be applied to all images and in another embodiment, the method may be used for images which comprise a large number of pixels in total or in single dimension and smaller images may not be down-sampled before segmentation.

Abstract: Using in-scene editing, an added title, or object, moves as the camera moves through the imaged scene. Previously this has been complex to achieve, requiring expert users to explicitly align 3D coordinate systems in the image sequence and on the added title or object. For example, this has been used to add 3D objects into live-action footage in big-budget movies or advertising. A simple, easy to use system is described for achieving in-scene editing. A user specifies projection constraints by making 2D actions on one or more images in the image sequence. A 3D motion trajectory is computed for a 3D object model on the basis of the specified projection constraints and a smoothness indicator. Using the computed trajectory the 3D object model is added to the image sequence. Projection constraints may be added, amended or deleted to position the 3D object model and/or to animate it.

Abstract: Image completion using scene geometry is described, for example, to remove marks from digital photographs or complete regions which are blank due to editing. In an embodiment an image depicting, from a viewpoint, a scene of textured objects has regions to be completed. In an example, geometry of the scene is estimated from a depth map and the geometry used to warp the image so that at least some surfaces depicted in the image are fronto-parallel to the viewpoint. An image completion process is guided using distortion applied during the warping. For example, patches used to fill the regions are selected on the basis of distortion introduced by the warping. In examples where the scene comprises regions having only planar surfaces the warping process comprises rotating the image. Where the scene comprises non-planar surfaces, geodesic distances between image elements may be scaled to flatten the non-planar surfaces.

Abstract: Space skipping for multi-dimensional image rendering is described. In an embodiment a ray-casting engine is used to form a two dimensional image from an at least three dimensional image volume by computing rays extending from a camera location, through the two dimensional image and into the volume. For example, a space skipping logic is used to clip the rays such that computationally expensive aspects of ray-casting only need to be performed along the clipped rays. For example a volume pyramid is formed by repeatedly reducing the resolution of the volume data. In an example, each ray is intersected with the lowest resolution volume of the pyramid and clipped using data from that volume. In examples, the clipping is then repeated at higher resolutions in order to clip the ray closely to non-transparent voxels in the volume and optimize the task of rendering the image.

Abstract: Depth image compression is described for example, to enable body-part centers of players of a game to be detected in real time from depth images or for other applications such as augmented reality, and human-computer interaction. In an embodiment, depth images which have associated body-part probabilities, are compressed using probability mass which is related to the depth of an image element and a probability of a body part for the image element. In various examples, compression of the depth images using probability mass enables body part center detection, by clustering output elements, to be speeded up. In some examples, the scale of the compression is selected according to a depth of a foreground region and in some cases different scales are used for different image regions. In some examples, certainties of the body-part centers are calculated using probability masses of clustered image elements.

Abstract: Methods of updating image segmentation following user input are described. In an embodiment, the properties used in computing the different portions of the image are updated as a result of one or more user inputs. Image elements which have been identified by a user input are given more weight when updating the properties than other image elements which have already been assigned to a particular portion of the image. In another embodiment, an updated segmentation is post-processed such that only regions which are connected to an appropriate user input are updated.
