摘要:
A method for performing image based regression using boosting to infer an entity that is associated with an image of an object is disclosed. A regression function for a plurality of images is learned in which for each image the associated entity is known. The learned regression function is used to predict an entity associated with an image in which the entity is not known.

Heart valve operation is assessed with patient-specific medical diagnostic imaging data. To deal with the complex motion of the passive valve tissue, a hierarchal model is used. Rigid global motion of the overall valve, non-rigid local motion of landmarks of the valve, and surface motion of the valve are modeled sequentially. For the non-rigid local motion, a spectral trajectory approach is used in the model to determine location and motion of the landmarks more efficiently than detection and tracking. Given efficiencies in processing, more than one valve may be modeled at a same time. A graphic overlay representing the valve in four dimensions and/or quantities may be provided during an imaging session. One or more of these features may be used in combination or independently.

Disclosed is a method and system for detecting a boundary of a vessel in an image. Edges in the image are detected. Edge detection is based on the change in intensity over some distance while varying the scale of the distance. A set of edges is then selected from the detected edges. An initial vessel boundary is determined based on the selected set, and a shape descriptor (e.g., one or more elliptical shape descriptors) is applied to the initial vessel boundary to determine a final vessel boundary.
摘要:
A system and method for detecting and tracking an object is disclosed. A camera captures a video sequence comprised of a plurality of image frames. A processor receives the video sequence and analyzes each image frame to determine if an object is detected. The processor applies one or more classifiers to an object in each image frame and computes a confidence score based on the application of the one or more classifiers to the object. A database stores the one or more classifiers and vehicle training samples. A display displays the video sequence.

A method and system for tracking a guidewire in a fluoroscopic image sequence is disclosed. In order to track a guidewire in a fluoroscopic image sequence, guidewire segments are detected in each frame of the fluoroscopic image sequence. The guidewire in each frame of the fluoroscopic image sequence is then detected by rigidly tracking the guidewire from a previous frame of the fluoroscopic image sequence based on the detected guidewire segments in the current frame. The guidewire is then non-rigidly deformed in each frame based on the guidewire position in the previous frame.

A method and system for detecting anatomic landmarks in medical images is disclosed. In order to detect multiple related anatomic landmarks, a plurality of landmark candidates are first detected individually using trained landmark detectors. A joint context is then generated for each combination of the landmark candidates. The best combination of landmarks in then determined based on the joint context using a trained joint context detector.

The present invention relates to a method for visually detecting and tracking an object through a space. The method chooses modules for a restricting a search function within the space to regions with a high probability of significant change, the search function operating on images supplied by a camera. The method also derives statistical models for errors, including quantifying an indexing step performed by an indexing module, and tuning system parameters. Further the method applies a likelihood model for candidate hypothesis evaluation and object parameters estimation for locating the object.

A system and method for using learned discriminative models to segment a border of an anatomical structure in a three dimensional (3D) image is disclosed. A discriminative probability model is computed for each voxel in the 3D image. Thresholding is performed on each discriminative probability model. One or more two dimensional (2D) slices of the thresholded 3D image along X-Y planes are obtained. Seed regions are selected in the 2D slices. Morphological region growing is performed on the selected seed regions. An initial 3D segmentation is obtained. Boundary evolution is performed on the initial 3D segmentation. The segmented anatomical structure is removed. in the original 3D image.
摘要:
A system and method for tracking a global shape of an object in motion is disclosed. One or more control points along an initial contour of the global shape are defined. Each of the one or more control points is tracked as the object is in motion. Uncertainty of a location of a control point in motion is represented using a number of techniques. The uncertainty to constrain the global shape is exploited using a prior shape model. In an alternative embodiment, multiple appearance models are built for each control point and the motion vectors produced by each model are combined in order to track the shape of the object. The movement of the shape of the object can be visually tracked using a display and color vectors.
