    Abstract: A gas concentration-length quantification method may include acquiring a first image including a gas plume with a camera; identifying and segmenting pixels corresponding to the gas plume in the first image; creating a mask image corresponding to the first image, where only pixels of the mask image corresponding to the gas plume in the first image have non-zero values; generating a background image corresponding to the first image using an image inpainting algorithm with the first image and the mask image as inputs; calculating a gas concentration-length for each pixel corresponding to the gas plume in the first image, based on the first image and the background image data; and triggering an alert when the gas concentration-length for at least one pixel exceeds a threshold level.

    Abstract: A method for processing an image that includes a table is provided. The method includes: obtaining a set of edges associated with a cell candidate of the table; determining a longest edge in the set of edges and a first orientation of the longest edge; determining, in the set of edges, an initial edge for a first cell border comprising the first orientation and the longest edge; building the first cell border based on the initial edge, the first orientation, and the set of edges; calculating a second orientation for a second cell border by rotating the first orientation; building the second cell border based on an initial edge for the second cell border and the second orientation; and validating the cell candidate as a cell of the table in response to building the first cell border and building the second cell border.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling at least one printer engine, the at least one printer engine having plural trays, each of the plural trays is aligned independently for imaging on a sheet of print medium. The method includes obtaining information according to first conditions in which each of the plural trays has been aligned, and the alignment of the each of plural trays is an adjustment to a position of a printable area on the sheet of print medium so that the printable area is centered on the sheet of print medium; obtaining information according to a second condition in which the at least one printer engine executes a print job; judging differences between each of the first conditions and the second condition; selecting a tray for the print job based on the judged differences; and instructing the print engine to execute the print job using the selected tray.

    Abstract: A patient identification method and related system use dynamic medical images of a patient, such as dynamic chest x-ray images, to generate pulsation and/or perfusion signals and use them for patient identification. A first pulsation and/or perfusion signal acquired from a current patient is compared to a previously stored second pulsation and/or perfusion signal associated with a known patient, to determine whether the current patient is the same as the known patient. At least one of the first and second pulsation and/or perfusion signals is generated from dynamic medical images. In some embodiments, one of the first and second pulsation and/or perfusion signals is pulsation-like signal obtained from electrocardiogram (ECG). When the current patient is determined to be different from the known patient, warning signals can be generated, and further steps can be taken to prevent medical procedures being conducted on the wrong patient.
