Publication number: 20210173188Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2021Publication date: June 10, 2021Inventors: Gregory JOHNSON, Chawin OUNKOMOL, Forrest COLLMAN, Sharmishtaa SESHAMANI

Patent number: 10126114Abstract: An angular localization system for determining an object's location includes a signal processor and three channels have a respective first, second, and third photodetector. The first channel images a first portion of an optical signal from which the first photodetector generates a first electrical signal. The second channel images a second portion of the optical signal onto a slow-varying optical mask having a strictly monotonic transmissivity along a dimension x. The second photodetector converts the second portion into a second electrical signal. The third channel images a third portion of the optical signal onto a fast-varying optical mask having a spatially-varying transmissivity having a same value at more than one value of x. The third photodetector converts the third portion into a third electrical signal. The signal processor is configured to determine, from each electrical signal, a respective signal amplitude, and determine the location parameter by comparing the signal amplitudes.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Ascentia Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Edward R.
