Patent number: 8711144Abstract: Artifact quantification is provided in volume rendering. Since the visual conspicuity of rendering artifacts strongly influences subjective assessments of image quality, quantitative metrics that accurately correlate with human visual perception may provide consistent values over a range of imaging conditions.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2007Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey P.

Patent number: 7940992Abstract: A computer implemented method for applying a visual discrimination model for single image applications includes receiving an image, defining a plurality of regions of interest in the image including a first region located to contain a feature or object to be detected and a second region located to encompass a background, determining metrics for visibility of the feature or object, wherein the metrics are determined by generating channel Just-Noticeable Difference (JND) maps for the single image determining JND summary metrics for the plurality of regions, and determining a difference in JND metrics between the plurality of regions, and adjusting parameters of the JND metrics to increase a visibility of the feature or object in the image.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2008Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jeffrey P. Johnson, John S. Nafziger

Publication number: 20090103822Abstract: In a method and device for compression of image data, in particular medical image data, the image data are initially compressed by means of a lossy compression method with a predetermined starting compression factor. The compressed image data are then analyzed to determine a quality value relative to a defined quality measure and the quality value is compared with a desired quality value predetermined relative to a defined quality measure. A new compression of the image data or further compression of the image data already compressed in a preceding step then ensues with a different compression factor and/or with a different compression method when the quality value deviates by a specific degree from the desired quality value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2007Publication date: April 23, 2009Inventors: Lutz Guendel, Jeffrey P. Johnson

Publication number: 20080012856Abstract: Perception-based visual quality metrics are used in volume rendering. A perception-based visual quality metric is measured from one or more three-dimensional representations. For example, people tend to notice edges, so a numeric value representing the noticeable edges is calculated. The perception-based metric is used for developing volume renderers, calibrating across different renderers, calibrating across different rendering platforms, determining rendering parameter values as a function of rendering speed, selecting rendering parameter values for a given situation, providing a range of rendering options associated with gradual perception changes, and/or combinations thereof. The perception-based visual quality metric provides a quantifiable representation of importance to the user for a given application, assisting optimization of volume rendering.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Inventors: Daphne Yu, Jeffrey P. Johnson, Mariappan S. Nadar, John S. Nafziger, Thomas Stingl

Publication number: 20040049412Abstract: The present invention provides the creation of a destination management and fulfillment service that consolidates existing ticketing and destination marketing systems in, e.g., the travel and leisure industry, into an automated electronic commodities manager and/or automated ticket manager. In a preferred embodiment, a network of automated ticketing devices (interactive unmanned kiosks) are deployed for on and off-property ticket sales and fulfillment, in addition to venue ticketing systems and automated sales channels, to provide product fulfillment remotely. The present invention facilitates LIVE inventory management and sales through to payment by and delivery to the end user. It also allows these functions to be monitored and reacted to in real-time, thus providing live inventory management, sales and marketing, financial processing and contract management.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2002Publication date: March 11, 2004Inventor: Jeffrey P.
