  • Patent number: 12217442
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing registration between a patient space and an image space are disclosed herein. Systems using such methods may identify a pose of a registration frame having one or more apertures within the patient space using a tracking system. Image data corresponding to the image space having an image of the registration frame is taken. A plurality of aperture locations within the image data (corresponding to the apertures of the registration frame) are identified in the image data. Aperture representations from a model of the registration frame are matched to these aperture locations to determine a pose of the registration frame within the image space. A transform between the patient space and the image space is generated based on the pose of the registration frame within the patient space and the pose of the registration frame within the image space. Optimization methods for this transform are discussed.

  • Patent number: 12210586
    Abstract: A model may be trained on a training dataset, e.g., for medical image processing or medical signal processing tasks. Systems and computer-implemented methods are provided for associating a population descriptor with the trained model and using the population descriptor to determine whether records to which the model is to be applied, conform to the population descriptor. The population descriptor characterizes a distribution of the one or more characteristic features over the training dataset, with the characteristic features characterizing the training record and/or a model output provided when the trained model is applied to the training record. For instance, the model may be applied only to records conforming to population descriptor, or model outputs of applying the model to non-conforming records may be flagged as possibly untrustworthy.

  • Patent number: 12211225
    Abstract: A scene reconstruction system renders images of a scene with high-quality geometry and appearance and supports view synthesis, relighting, and scene editing. Given a set of input images of a scene, the scene reconstruction system trains a network to learn a volume representation of the scene that includes separate geometry and reflectance parameters. Using the volume representation, the scene reconstruction system can render images of the scene under arbitrary viewing (view synthesis) and lighting (relighting) locations. Additionally, the scene reconstruction system can render images that change the reflectance of objects in the scene (scene editing).

  • Patent number: 12211244
    Abstract: A segmentation neural network is extended to provide classification at the segment level. An input image of a document is received and processed, utilizing a segmentation neural network, to detect pixels having a signature feature type. A signature heatmap of the input image can be generated based on the pixels in the input image having the signature feature type. The segmentation neural network is extended from here to further process the signature heatmap by morphing it to include noise surrounding an object of interest. This creates a signature region that can have no defined shape or size. The morphed heatmap acts as a mask so that each signature region or object in the input image can be detected as a segment. Based on this segment-level detection, the input image is classified. The classification result can be provided as feedback to a machine learning framework to refine training.

  • Patent number: 12211612
    Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of sensors adapted to identify and track items, e.g., tools, instruments and consumables, placed on worksurfaces. Each worksurface may contain one or more of these items and is used in an operating room. It is first determined if all the necessary items are available for a task at hand, then as items are removed, added or consumed a tally is updated to ensure that each is accounted for. When the task ends all items have to be accounted for by having the sensors review the content of the worksurfaces and identifying any discrepancy. In one embodiment, the system learns a process, e.g., a surgical process, such that in future cases it provides alerts of missing items before and after the task, provide instructions to equipment such as robots to assist in the task performance, and the like.

  • Patent number: 12205408
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for identifying interactions and events associated with inventory locations. For instance, system(s) may receive image data representing a user interacting with an inventory location. The system(s) may then generate heatmap data indicating a first portion of the image data that represents the inventory location and feature data indicating a second portion of the image data that represents the user. Next, the system(s) may analyze the heatmap data with respect to the feature data to determine that the second portion of the image data corresponds to the first portion of the image data. As such, the system(s) may determine that the user is interacting with the inventory location. Based on the determination, the system(s) may analyze the first portion of the image data to identify an event that occurs at the inventory location, such as the user removing an item.
