Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of “pseudo-images” to perform image recognition, e.g., to perform facial image recognition. In an embodiment, the pseudo-image is obtained by starting with a real world image and, after optional preprocessing, subjecting the image to a non-linear transformation that converts the image into a pseudo-image. While real world objects (or, more generally, real world patterns) may be perceivable in the starting image, they cannot be perceived in the pseudo-image. Image recognition takes place by comparing the pseudo-image with a library of known pseudo-images, i.e., image recognition takes place in pseudo-image space without a return to real world space. In this way, robust image recognition is achieved even for imperfect real world images, such as, real world images that have been degraded by noise, poor illumination, uneven lighting, and/or occlusion, e.g., the presence of glasses, scarves, or the like in the case of facial images.

Abstract: A system for registering operating space includes a back bracing, a computer system and a robotic arm. The back bracing includes positioning marks which can be imaged in a computer tomography (CT) image, and the back bracing is used to be worn by a patient. The computer system computes image coordinates of the positioning marks in an image space. A base of the robotic arm is connected to the back bracing in an operating space after the CT image is generated. The robotic arm contacts the positioning marks in the operating space and meanwhile the computer system obtains arm coordinates of the robotic arm in an arm space. The computer system generates conversion models among the image space, the operating space, and the robot arm space according to the image coordinates and the arm coordinates.

Abstract: An encoding apparatus extracts features of an image by applying multiple padding operations and multiple downscaling operations to an image represented by data and transmits feature information indicating the features to a decoding apparatus. The multiple padding operations and the multiple downscaling operations are applied to the image in an order in which one padding operation is applied and thereafter one downscaling operation corresponding to the padding operation is applied. A decoding method receives feature information from an encoding apparatus, and generates a reconstructed image by applying multiple upscaling operations and multiple trimming operations to an image represented by the feature information. The multiple upscaling operations and the multiple trimming operations are applied to the image in an order in which one upscaling operation is applied and thereafter one trimming operation corresponding to the upscaling operation is applied.
