    摘要: Drone-based inventory management method and systems. One embodiment provides a drone-based inventory management system including one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and a central management system having an electronic processor, and a transceiver configured to communicate with the one or more UAVs. The electronic processor is configured to determine a discrepancy in inventory and select a UAV for verification. The electronic processor is also configured to determine whether weather permits UAV operation and operate the UAV in a pre-determined route when the weather permits UAV operation. The electronic processor is further configured to capture images using the UAV and determine new inventory based on captured images. The electronic processor is also configured to update inventory based on the new inventory.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for extracting mountain landscape buildings based on high-resolution remote sensing images. The method comprises: segmenting a remote sensing image, and extracting non-vegetation areas from the remote sensing image by using NDVI; segmenting the non-vegetation areas, and extracting building areas by using NDBI; segmenting the building areas again, and calculating a normalized difference build shadow index NSBI of each patch; calculating NSBI separator of each patch in the non-vegetation areas and setting a separator threshold, and extracting landscape building areas based on the threshold. In the present invention, by introducing a near infrared band in the remote sensing image spectrum, in which there is a significant difference between shadows and non-shadows, the influence of large shadow areas in mountainous shady areas in the remote sensing image on the result of extraction is reduced.

    摘要: A computing device, method, system, and instructions in a non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing image analysis on 3D microscopy images to predict localization and/or labeling of various structures or objects of interest, by predicting the location in such images at which a dye or other marker associated with such structures would appear. The computing device, method, and system receives sets of 3D images that include unlabeled images, such as transmitted light images or electron microscope images, and labeled images, such as images captured with fluorescence tagging. The computing device trains a statistical model to associate structures in the labeled images with the same structures in the unlabeled light images. The processor further applies the statistical model to a new unlabeled image to generate a predictive labeled image that predicts the location of a structure of interest in the new image.

    摘要: A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for coding video data. Video data is received, and an edge present within a sample of the received video data is detected. A gradient value corresponding to a direction associated with the detected edge is calculated. The video data is decoded based on the calculated gradient.

    摘要: A method and device for generating a three dimensional (3D) bounding box of a region of interest (ROI) of a patient include receiving a two dimensional (2D) maximum intensity projection (MIP) image that is an axial view of the patient and a 2D MIP image that is a sagittal view of the patient. A first 2D bounding box of the ROI of the patient and a second 2D bounding box of the ROI of the patient are detected using the 2D MIP images. A 3D MIP image of the patient is received, and the 3D bounding box of the ROI of the patient is generated using the 3D MIP image, the first 2D bounding box, and the second 2D bounding box. The 3D MIP image including the 3D bounding box is provided.

    摘要: Disclosed is a Gabor wavelet-fused multi-scale local level set ultrasonic image segmentation method. In the method, non-uniformity of the grayscale of an ultrasonic image is taken as a texture having cluttered directions, the multi-directional property of Gabor wavelets is used to process the image, and intermediate images in different filtering directions are fused by taking maximum values, so as to obtain an intermediate image having a weakened texture effect and an enhanced difference between a foreground and a background. For the feature of a weak edge of an ultrasonic image, a concept of multi-scale is used to improve the conventional LIC method, Gaussian convolution kernels having different variances are set, and a final edge is obtained by means of average fusion.

    摘要: An image segmentation apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a localizer image of an organ, the localizer image being three-dimensional or being in a plurality of layers and two-dimensional. The processing circuitry is configured to temporarily localize, on a basis of the localizer image, a segment in which the organ is present in terms of the layer direction of a plurality of slices included in the localizer image. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a segmentation result of the organ, by performing an image segmentation process on the localizer image positioned inside the segment in which the organ is present.
