    摘要: The invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system for forming an echographic image of a medium, which system includes a set [REC] of transducer elements [EL] which are operative in a transmission mode and in a reception mode for ultra-sound waves, construction means [REB] for constructing echographic signals on the basis of signals [S[1] . . . S[N]] received on said transducer elements [EL], display means [DIS] which are coupled to said construction means [REB] in order to display an image of the medium formed by means of the echographic signals. Said construction means [REB] are such that in so-called exclusion zones, in which a coherent reflector is detected and which are determined by determination means [DET], the reception delays [D] are estimated in a manner [INT] other than that [CORR] used for the other zones. The calculation [CAL] of echographic s is then carried out on the basis of said estimated delays [D[Z],Di[Z]]. The invention enables a correction of phase aberrations and nevertheless offers an excellent lateral resolution, notably in the case of point coherent reflectors.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for modeling a body part with a high precision. Image data of a body part is collected from an imaging system with a first resolution. After processing the image data collected from the imaging system, a 3-dimensional description of the body part is generated, the 3-dimensional description of the body part having a second resolution higher than the first one. A 3-dimensional parametric description of the body part is then generated. The 3-dimensional parametric description may be used to create a replica of the body part or an implant tightly fitting the said body part.

    摘要: A method of estimating the position of the field of view of an imaging device, such as a camera, relative to a board involves designating markings on the board as references and detecting the shift in these reference markings within the field of view of the camera compared to a known position therein. The reference markings are selected such that detection thereof involves analysis of only a subset of the image produced by the imaging device. The selection of a group of one or more markings to serve as a reference involves determination of the image region (error window) in which the reference marking(s) may appear, given the maximal positional error of the imaging device. It is also checked (step T4) that the entire error window will be within the useable field of view of the imaging device and that, within the error window, no other group of markings will appear that could be confused with the selected group of markings (step T5). Detection of the reference group of markings involves generation of an image profile along a line crossing the center of the error window and finding the best match between the markings along this profile and the markings in the reference group.
