Patent number: 9704061Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to detecting the number, position, and orientation of objects when a plurality of recognition target objects are present in a search target image. Dictionary image data is provided, including a recognition target pattern, a plurality of feature points of the recognition target pattern, and an offset (Ox, Oy) from the coordinates at the center of the image to the coordinates of the feature point. The sizes (Rt) and directions (?t) of feature vectors for the coordinates (Tx, Ty) of a plurality of feature points in the target image are also provided. The coordinates (Fx, Fy) of a virtual center point in the target image is derived. Additional virtual center points within a radius of the coordinates (Fx, Fy) is counted.

Patent number: 9262442Abstract: A technique for generating a representative image representing a case and radiographic interpretation information for each case includes calculating wavelet features of a plurality of images that have been taken and stored in the past. The calculated wavelet features and extracted keywords are stored in association with the stored images. The stored images are classified on the basis of the extracted keywords to generate a plurality of groups. For each of the generated groups, a centroid vector of wavelet feature-based feature vectors of respective images corresponding to the keywords is calculated and a spatial distance between the calculated centroid vector and each of the wavelet feature-based feature vectors is calculated. For each of the groups, the image for which the calculated spatial distance is the shortest and the radiographic interpretation information associated with the image is stored as a representative image of that group.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Munehiro Doi, Yumi Mori, Hiroki Nakano

Publication number: 20150363429Abstract: A technique for searching for an image includes calculating wavelet features of a plurality of images. A keyword included in radiographic interpretation information is extracted for each of the stored images. The calculated wavelet features and the extracted keywords are stored in association with the respective stored images. A newly taken image is acquired and a wavelet feature of the acquired image is calculated. A keyword included in radiographic interpretation information corresponding to the acquired image is extracted and a search for similar radiographic interpretation information from the stored keywords is performed. A wavelet feature-based spatial distance between the acquired image and each of images corresponding to the radiographic interpretation information found is calculated. A search result of any images for which the calculated wavelet feature-based spatial distance is shorter than a predetermined value is output, in ascending order of the calculated wavelet feature-based spatial distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: MUNEHHIRO DOI, YUMI MORI, HIROKI NAKANO

Patent number: 9086810Abstract: Data is recorded such that the positions of data will be aligned in a traveling direction and a width direction of the storage medium. The medium travels in the traveling direction from a first to a second position as a certain wrap of a group of plural files in a first physical range between the first and the second positions. A head shifts from the certain wrap to another wrap in the width direction of the medium. The medium travels in the traveling direction from a third to a fourth position as the other wrap of a group of plural files in a second physical range between the third and the fourth positions. The plural files in groups on the certain wrap and the other wrap may be written in reverse order to each other after being once stored in a buffer.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Itagaki, Takashi Katagiri, Yohichi Miwa, Yumi Mori, Yoshikuni Murakami, Izuru Narita, Yutaka Oishi, Kazuhiro Tsuruta

Patent number: 8379963Abstract: This solution relates to machine vision computing environments, and more specifically relates to a system and method for selectively accelerating the execution of image processing applications using a cell computing system. The invention provides a high performance machine vision system over the prior art and provides a method for executing image processing applications on a Cell and BPE3 image processing system. Moreover, implementations of the invention provide a machine vision system and method for distributing and managing the execution of image processing applications at a fine-grained level via a PCIe connected system. The hybrid system is replaced with the BPE3 and the switch is also eliminated from the prior in order to meet over 1 GB processing requirement.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Moon J.
