Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a 3D centerline of an organ vessel from a plurality of 2D x-ray images. The method comprises the steps of producing a point-cloud of 3D points which represent intersecting and non-intersecting points between projection lines from the 2D images to their respective x-ray sources; fitting a compound curve to the points in the point-cloud of 3D points; removing outliers from the point-cloud; fitting a new compound curve to the remaining points in the point-cloud of 3D points; and repeating certain steps, wherein the resultant compound curve represents the 3D centerline of the organ vessel. The method minimizes reconstruction errors and produces an optimally-reconstructed 3D vessel skeleton.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for generating and displaying a virtual companion. In an example method, a first input from an environment of a user is received at a first time via a first sensor on a head-wearable device. An occurrence of an event in the environment is determined based on the first input. A second input from the user is received via a second sensor on the head-wearable device, and an emotional reaction of the user is identified based on the second input. An association is determined between the emotional reaction and the event. A view of the environment is presented at a second time later than the first time via a see-through display of the head-wearable device. A stimulus is presented at the second time via a virtual companion displayed via the see-through display, wherein the stimulus is determined based on the determined association between the emotional reaction and the event.

Abstract: A system and method for receiving an ordered set of images and analyzing the images to determine at least one position in space and at least one motion vector in space and time for at least one object represented in the images is disclosed. Using these vectors, a four dimensional model of at least a portion of the information represented in the images is formulated. This model generally obeys the laws of physics, though aberrations may be imposed. The model is then exercised with an input parameter, which, for example, may represent a different perspective than the original set of images. The four dimensional model is then used to produce a modified set of ordered images in dependence on the input parameter and optionally the set of images, e.g., if only a portion of the data represented in the images is modeled. The set of images may then be rendered on a display device.

Abstract: As a container (3) is filled with a material to a very small tolerance, a method displays an evolution of a measured current filling quantity (Q) of the material, from a starting filling quantity Q0 to a target filling quantity QT. A measuring means (5) measures the measured current filling quantity as filling proceeds. A display means (10) shows a first pointer (11), a position X of which is indicative of the measured current filling quantity. The position X on the display means is a monotonic function of the measured current filling quantity. As the measured current filling quantity enters a tolerance subrange on either side of the target filling quantity, a function that defines the position of the first pointer is changed to permit accurate filling, but in a manner so that a user of the measuring means does not perceive a discontinuity in the display.
