Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for capturing a fingerprint image, an apparatus for capturing a fingerprint image, and an electronic device, where the method includes: controlling a fingerprint sensor to capture at least one frame of image based on each candidate exposure time among N candidate exposure times respectively; determining N values of a feature parameter corresponding to the N candidate exposure times according to the at least one frame of image captured in each exposure time, where the feature parameter is used to indicate a degree of influence of a refresh period of a display screen on the fingerprint image captured by the fingerprint sensor; determining a candidate exposure time corresponding to a first value indicating a smallest degree of influence among the N values as a target exposure time; and controlling the fingerprint sensor to capture the fingerprint image based on the target exposure time.

Abstract: A clock calibration method and an electronic device, for calibrating a clock of a fingerprint chip, which can improve an accuracy of the clock of the fingerprint chip, thereby improving performance of the fingerprint chip. The clock calibration method, for calibrating a clock of a fingerprint chip provided in an electronic device, includes: sending a configuration command to the fingerprint chip to cause the fingerprint chip to map a current clock of the fingerprint chip to a target pin of the fingerprint chip; detecting the target pin to acquire the current clock of the fingerprint chip; determining a calibration value based on a target clock and the current clock of the fingerprint chip; and sending the calibration value to a calibration register in the fingerprint chip, the calibration value being used to adjust the current clock of the fingerprint chip.

Abstract: A method and apparatus configured to analyze breast density based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a breast of a patient includes the steps of segmenting an MR image of the breast from one set of three-dimensional breast MRI images, and analyzing the amount of dense tissue and the morphological distribution of the dense tissue and a data processor configured by software to perform these steps. Analyzing the amount of dense tissue and the morphological distribution of the dense tissue includes the steps of segmenting tissue data to separate breast tissue from other body tissue, separating tissue data of the dense and fatty tissues in the breast, and analyzing the morphological distribution of dense tissue in the breast to derive one or more three dimensional morphological parameters of the dense tissue distribution.

Abstract: A method for rendering a mammography image. Mammography image data is obtained and stored in a computer-readable electronic memory. A mapping transforms the data to an output data space by estimating a relative amount of dense tissue from the image data; identifying at least a first control point that delineates tissue from non-tissue image content and a second control point that delineates a fatty from a dense tissue region; allocating output image data values in the output data space for the identified fatty and dense tissue content according to the estimated relative amount of dense tissue; and mapping image data values to the allocated output image data values according to the first and second control points. The mammography image is rendered on a display according to the mapping.
