Abstract: A system includes a sensor, a weight sensor, and a tracking subsystem. The tracking subsystem receives an image feed of top-view images generated by the sensor and weight measurements from the weight sensor. The tracking subsystem detects an event associated with an item being removed from a rack in which the weight sensor is installed. The tracking subsystem determines that a first and second person may be associated with the event. After the item exits the rack, the subsystem tracks the item and calculates a velocity of the item as it is moved through the space. The subsystem identifies, based on the calculated velocity, a frame in which the velocity of the item is less than a threshold velocity. The subsystem determines whether the first or second person is nearer the item in the identified frame. If the first person is nearer, the item is assigned to the first person.

Abstract: Methods of and systems for reconstructing a vascular tree shape from vascular segments imaged in a single source 2-D projection image are described. A structuring shape comprising spatial positions of reference anatomical elements is defined, such as vascular segments in the definition of a 3-D surface model corresponding to a surface defined by an anatomical structure such as a body organ (e.g., heart). The 3-D surface model is used to create a 3-D model of anatomical elements (e.g., additional vascular segments of a cardiac vasculature) imaged in a source 2-D projection image, by back-projection to the 3-D surface model. The 3-D surface model is optionally aligned by first aligning the source 2-D projection image to the structuring shape. In some embodiments, the source 2-D projection image is registered to the 3-D surface model through the structuring shape by the source image's initial use in defining the structuring shape.

Abstract: In one embodiment, example systems and methods relate to a manner of generating 3D representations from monocular 2D images. A monocular 2D image is captured by a camera. The 2D image is processed to create one or more feature maps. The features may include depth features, or object labels, for example. Based on the image and the feature map, regions-of-interest corresponding to vehicles in the image are determined. For each region-of-interest a lifting function is applied to the region-of-interest to determine values such as height and width, camera distance, and rotation. The determined values are used to create an eight-point box that is a 3D representation of the vehicle depicted by the region-of-interest. The 3D representation can be used for a variety of purposes such as route planning, object avoidance, or as training data, for example.
