SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING ENCODED REPRESENTATIONS FOR MULTIPLE MAGNIFICATIONS OF IMAGE DATA
Publication number: 20230343081Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for generating encoded representations for multiple magnifications of one or more query images. An example method for involves operating a processor to obtain a query image and identify a set of anchor points within the query image. The processor is operable to generate a plurality of sub-images for a plurality of magnification levels for each anchor point. Each sub-image includes the anchor point and corresponds to a magnification level of the plurality of magnification levels. The processor is operable to, for each magnification level, apply an artificial neural network model to a group of sub-images having that magnification level to extract a feature vector representative of image characteristics of the query image at that magnification level; and to generate an encoded representation for multiple magnifications of the query image based on the feature vectors extracted for the plurality of magnification levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Hamid Reza Tizhoosh, Savvas Damaskinos, Arthur Edward Dixon -

Publication number: 20230230709Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for curating medical images for a medical image database. An example method for curating involves operating a processor to obtain a query medical image, assign the query medical image to an initial set of related images, and generate a similarity indicator for each image of the initial set. The similarity indicator is representative of a measure of similarity between image data of that image and the initial set. The processor is operable to define an intermediate set from the initial set based on the similarity indicators; and generate a relevancy indicator for each image of the intermediate set. The relevancy indicator is representative of a measure of the relevancy between relevance of the image and the intermediate set. The processor is operable to define a curated set of images from the intermediate set based on the relevancy indicators.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Hamid Reza Tizhoosh, Patrick Myles, Savvas Damaskinos

Patent number: 11694079Abstract: A content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system and method is presented herein. The CBIR system generates a relatively short vector or array of data, referred to as a barcode, from an input image. The short vector or array data can be used to represent the content of the image for image retrieval purposes. The system obtains the image and applies a transform to the image to generate a plurality of image transform values. The system thresholds the plurality of image transform values to obtain compact image transform values. The system generates a barcode in accordance with the compact image transform values and representative of the image. The system may then transmit the barcode to a database for storage or draw the barcode on a display. The system may also compare barcodes to find and retrieve similar images associated with similar barcodes.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Huron Technologies International Inc.Inventor: Hamid Reza Tizhoosh

Publication number: 20220335736Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for automatically identifying features of a cytology specimen. An example method can involve dividing a whole slide image of the cytology specimen into a plurality of image portions; applying a first neural network to each image portion to identify one or more relevant image portions; and applying a second neural network to a first relevant image portion and a second relevant image portion to generate a respective first and second cell data. Each relevant image portion can be an image portion containing a region of interest for the cytology specimen. The method can further involve comparing the first and second cell data to determine whether a similarity threshold is satisfied; and in response to determining the similarity threshold is not satisfied, continuing to apply the second neural network to a subsequent relevant image portion until the similarity threshold is satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Hamid Reza Tizhoosh, Clinton James Vaughan Campbell
