    Abstract: An automated process for data annotation of medical images includes obtaining image data from an imaging sensor, partitioning the image data, identifying an object of interest in the partitioned image data, generating an initial contour with one or more control points with respect to the object of interest, identifying a manual adjustment of one of the control points, automatically adjust a position of at least one other control point within a predetermined range of the manually adjusted control point to a new position, the new position of the at least one other control point and manually adjusted control point defining a new contour, and generating an updated image with the new contour and corresponding control points.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with medical image enhancement. The medical image may include an object of interest and the techniques disclosed herein may be used to identify the object and enhance a contrast between the object and its surrounding area by adjusting at least the pixels associated with the object. The object identification may be performed using an image filter, a segmentation mask, and/or a deep neural network trained to separate the medical image into multiple layers that respectively include the object of interest and the surrounding area. Once identified, the pixels of the object may be manipulated in various ways to increase the visibility of the object. These may include, for example, adding a constant value to the pixels of the object, applying a sharpening filter to those pixels, increasing the weight of those pixels, and/or smoothing the edge areas surrounding the object of interest.

    Abstract: Detecting motions associated with a body part of a patient may include using an image sensor installed inside a medical scanner to capture first and second images of the patient inside the medical scanner, wherein the first image may depict the patient in a first state and the second image may depict the patient in a second state. A first area, in the first image, that corresponds to the body part of the patient may be identified and a second area, in the second image, that corresponds to the body part may also be identified so that a first plurality of features may be extracted from the first area of the first image and a second plurality of features may be extracted from the second area of the second image. A motion associated with the body part of the patient may be determined based on the first and second pluralities of features.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and instrumentalities associated with multi-person joint location and pose estimation based on an image that depicts multiple people in a scene, where at least some of the joint locations of a person may be blocked or obstructed by other people or objects in the scene. The estimation may be performed by detecting and grouping joint locations in the image using a bottom-up approach, and refining each group of detected joint locations by recovering obstructed joint location(s) that may be missing from the group. The detection, grouping, and/or refinement may be accomplished based on one or more machine learning (ML) models that may be implemented using artificial neural networks such as convolutional neural networks.

    Abstract: A person's privacy is protected by the law in many settings and disclosed herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with anonymizing an image of a person while still preserving the visual saliency and/or utility of the image for one or more downstream tasks. These objectives may be accomplished using various machine-learning (ML) techniques such as ML models trained for extracting identifying and residual features from the input image as well as ML models trained for transforming the identifying features into identity-concealing features and for preserving the utility features of the image. An output image may be generated based on the various ML models, wherein the identity of the person may be substantially disguised in the output image while the background and utility attributes of the original image may be substantially maintained in the output image.

    Abstract: A human model such as a 3D human mesh may be generated for a person in a medical environment based on one or more images of the person. The images may be captured using a sensing device that may be attached to an existing medical device such as a medical scanner in the medical environment. Such an arrangement may ensure that unblocked views of the person (e.g., body keypoints of the person) may be obtained and used to generate the human model. The position of the medical device in the medical environment may be determined and used to facilitate the human model construction such that the pose and body shape of the person in the medical environment may be accurately represented by the human model.
