    摘要: Systems and methods for performing visual odometry more rapidly. Pairs of representations from sensor data (such as images from one or more cameras) are selected, and features common to both representations of the pair are identified. Portions of bundle adjustment matrices that correspond to the pair are updated using the common features. These updates are maintained in register memory until all portions of the matrices that correspond to the pair are updated. By selecting only common features of one particular pair of representations, updated matrix values may be kept in registers. Accordingly, matrix updates for each common feature may be collectively saved with a single write of the registers to other memory. In this manner, fewer write operations are performed from register memory to other memory, thus reducing the time required to update bundle adjustment matrices and thus speeding the bundle adjustment process.

    摘要: A distribution method includes: distributing, when multiple feature maps exist in an image processing model, to each feature map a neuron through which the feature map passes; filtrating, according to importance of neurons of multiple convolution layers in an image processing model, the neurons to obtain a first result; collecting, according to a position attribute of the each neuron in the first result, statistics on a scale of the feature map corresponding to each neuron to obtain a distribution relationship; the distribution relationship indicates a correspondence between the each feature map and the neuron through which the feature map passes; and distributing, according to the distribution relationship, to the each feature map the neuron through which the feature map passes.

    摘要: A three dimensional coordinate measurement device and method of measuring is provided. The device including a housing having a first axis and a second axis. A first depth camera is coupled to the housing, the first depth camera having a first optical axis aligned with the first axis. A second depth camera is coupled to the housing, the second depth camera having a second optical axis disposed on a first angle relative to the first axis. A third depth camera is coupled to the housing, the third depth camera having a third optical axis disposed on a second angle relative to the first axis, the second angle being different than the first angle. A rotational device is coupled to rotate the housing about the second axis.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of medical imaging in the absence of contrast agents. In one form, the invention relates to the field of imaging vessels, particularly blood vessels such as the pulmonary vasculature and is suitable for use as a technique for detecting pulmonary embolism (PE), such as acute PE. Embodiments of the present invention provide improved image processing techniques having the capability to extract and use image data to overcome the need for contrast agents to distinguish between different types of tissue. Furthermore, it has also been realised that the image data accessed by the improved image processing can be used to identify irregularities in vessels.

    摘要: An imaging system includes an imaging scope, a camera, an image processor, and a system controller. The imaging scope is configured to illuminate an object and capture light reflected from the object. The camera has a light sensor with a light-sensitive surface configured to receive the captured light from the imaging scope, and generate a digital image representative of the captured light. The image processor is configured to receive the digital image from the camera, and use at least one of a random sample consensus (RANSAC) technique and a Hough Transform technique to (i) identify a boundary between an active portion and an inactive portion of the digital image and (ii) generate boundary data indicative of a characteristic of the boundary. The system controller is configured to receive the boundary data from the image processor, and use the boundary data to select and/or adjust a setting of the imaging system.

    摘要: A system for producing a flipbook includes a processor that receives a video comprising a plurality of frames, selects a start frame and an end frame, and a plurality of frames therebetween. The processor can analyze the frames of the segment to determine an average rate of change of the plurality of frames and a threshold of relative image difference based on the average rate of change of the plurality of frames and a baseline frame rate. The processor can select, based on the results of its analysis, a plurality of selected frames, each of the selected frames being separated from two other selected frames by a sub-segment of the video, wherein each pair of adjacent frames comprises a relative image difference above the threshold and wherein each selected frame meets quality criteria not met by one or more local frames. The processor arranges the selected frames in temporal order, adds a protruding edge to each of the selected frames, and transmits data representing each of the selected frames to a printer for printing and binding a flipbook.
