摘要： The present invention is directed to a method for populating a database with a set of images of an anatomical structure. The database is used to perform appearance matching in image pairs of the anatomical structure. A set of image pairs of anatomical structures is received, where each image pair is annotated with a plurality of location-sensitive regions that identify a particular aspect of the anatomical structure. Weak learners are iteratively selected and an image patch is identified. A boosting process is used to identify a strong classifier based on responses to the weak learners applied to the identified image patch for each image pair. The responses comprise a feature response and a location response associated with the image patch. Positive and negative image pairs are generated. The positive and negative image pairs are used to learn a similarity function. The learned similarity function and iteratively selected weak learners are stored in the database.

摘要： A method for generating Pairwise Active Appearance Models (PAAMs) that characterize shape, appearance and motion of an object and using the PAAM to track the motion of an object is disclosed. A plurality of video streams is received. Each video stream includes a series of image frames that depict an object in motion. Each video stream includes an index of identified motion phases that are associated with a motion cycle of the object. For each video stream, a shape of the object is represented by a shape vector. An appearance of an object is represented by an appearance vector. The shape and appearance vectors associated at two consecutive motion phases are concatenated. Paired data for the concatenated shape and appearance vectors is computed. Paired data is computed for each two consecutive motion phases in the motion cycle. A shape subspace is constructed based on the computed paired data. An appearance subspace is constructed based on the computed paired data. A joint subspace is constructed using a combination of the shape subspace and appearance subspace. A PAAM is generated using the joint subspace and the PAAM is stored in a database.

摘要： A method and system for regression-based object detection in medical images is disclosed. A regression function for predicting a location of an object in a medical image based on an image patch is trained using image-based boosting ridge regression (IBRR). The trained regression function is used to determine a difference vector based on an image patch of a medical image. The difference vector represents the difference between the location of the image patch and the location of a target object. The location of the target object in the medical image is predicted based on the difference vector determined by the regression function.

摘要： A system and method for identifying a shape of an anatomical structure in an input image is disclosed. An input image is received and warped using a set of warping templates resulting in a set of warped images. An integral image is calculated for each warped image. Selected features are extracted based on the integral image. A boosted feature score is calculated for the combined selected features for each warped image. The warped images are ranked based on the boosted feature scores. A predetermined number of warped images are selected that have the largest feature scores. Each selected warped image is associated with its corresponding warping template. The corresponding warping templates are associated with stored shape models. The shape of the input image is identified based on the weighted average of the shapes models.

摘要： A downhole tool provided within a casing string for use in cement staging operations. The tool includes a sleeve in the tool that selectively slides downward under pressure to expose ports formed in a side wall of the tool. Also, an annulus through the tool is selectively blocked so that cement in the casing string flows radially outward through the ports and into an annulus between the tool and a wellbore. An inflatable packer is included that is integral to the body of the tool and is inflated with a fluid that is pushed into the packer as the sleeve slides downward. An optional expanding agent can be included in the packer that is a metal oxide and is activated with the addition of water.

摘要： A downhole tool provided within a casing string for use in cement staging operations. The tool includes an inflatable packer that is integral to the body of the tool and ports in sides of the tool. The ports are selectively opened and closed for circulating cement from within the tool so that cement can flow between the casing string and a wellbore. The ports are actuated by sliding the casing string upward or downward within the wellbore. The packer can be pressure tested after being set to ensure its efficacy.
