  • Patent number: 11934933
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for classifying ophthalmic images according to disease type, state, and stage. The disclosed invention details systems, methods, and devices to perform the aforementioned classification based on weighted-linkage of an ensemble of machine learning models. In some parts, each model is trained on a training data set and tested on a test dataset. In other parts, the models are ranked based on classification performance, and model weights are assigned based on model rank. To classify an ophthalmic image, that image is presented to each model of the ensemble for classification, yielding a probabilistic classification score—of each model. Using the model weights, a weighted-average of the individual model-generated probabilistic scores is computed and used for the classification.

  • Patent number: 11908104
    Abstract: In order to more accurately white balance an image, weightings can be determined for pixels of an image when computing an illuminant color value of the image and/or a scene. The weightings can be based at least in part on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the pixels. The SNR may be actual SNR or SNR estimated from brightness levels of the pixels. SNR weighting (e.g., SNR adjustment) may reduce the effect of pixels with high noise on the computed illuminant color value. For example, one or more channel values of the illuminant color value can be determined based on the weightings and color values of the pixels. One or more color gain values can be determined based on the one or more channel values of the illuminant color value and used to white balance the image.
