Abstract: A new approach contemplating a variety of improved methods and systems to perform intelligent image resizing on an image is proposed. The approach enables a user to interactively mark or select portions of the image to preserve and/or remove. An energy function can then be used to calculate values of an energy metric, for a non-limiting example, entropy, on every pixel over the entire image. Such calculated values can then be used to determine the optimal regions where new pixels are to be inserted or existing pixels are to be removed in order to minimize the amount of energy lost (for shrinking) or added (for growing) in the image.

Abstract translation: 提出了一种考虑在图像上执行智能图像调整大小的各种改进方法和系统的新方法。 该方法使得用户能够交互地标记或选择图像的部分以保存和/或移除。 然后可以使用能量函数来计算整个图像上每个像素上的非限制性示例熵的能量度量的值。 然后可以使用这样的计算值来确定要插入新像素或现有像素将被去除的最佳区域，以便最小化在图像中损失（用于收缩）或添加（用于生长）的能量的量。

Abstract: Surgical Manipulator A surgical manipulator (10) is disclosed which employs a suction cup (30) to hold body parts (50) whilst the manipulator is moved to manipulate the body part (50). Suction at the cup (30) is provided by means of a central passage (16) running through an extension (20) and through a handle part (14) to a vacuum connector (12). The suction at the cup (30) can be adjusted by a slider (15) which adjustably opens the passage (16) to atmosphere. Needles (58) and the like can be introduced into the passage (16) and thereby into the body part (50). For laparoscopic surgery the manipulator can be introduced into a laparoscopic port (52) by collapsing the suction cup (30) within an introducer sleeve (22 FIG. 3). The introducer sleeve (22) can act as a suction device when the cup (30) is collapsed within it. The needle (58) can be replaced by a diathermy electrode (60 FIG. 6) and irrigation is possible using an additional supply tube (121 FIG. 4).

Abstract translation: 外科手术器公开了一种手术操纵器（10），其在操纵器被移动以操纵身体部分（50）的同时使用吸盘（30）来保持身体部分（50）。 在杯（30）处的抽吸通过穿过延伸部（20）并通过把手部分（14）到达真空连接器（12）的中心通道（16）来提供。 可以通过可调节地将通道（16）打开到大气中的滑块（15）来调节杯子（30）处的吸力。 针（58）等可以被引入到通道（16）中，从而进入主体部分（50）。 对于腹腔镜手术，通过将吸盘（30）在引导器套筒（图3））中折叠，可以将操纵器引入腹腔镜口（52）。 当杯（30）在其内折叠时，导引套筒（22）可用作抽吸装置。 针（58）可以由透热电极（图6的60）代替，并且可以使用额外的供给管（图4）来进行冲洗。
