  • Patent number: 11790527
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically imaging and analyzing cell samples in an incubator. An actuated microscope operates to generate images of samples within wells of a sample container across days, weeks, or months. A plurality of images is generated for each scan of a particular well, and the images within such a scan are used to image and analysis metabolically active cells in the well. Tins analysis includes generating a “range image” by subtracting the minimum intensity value, across the scan, for each pixel from the maximum intensity value. This range image thus emphasizes cells or portions of cells that exhibit changes in activity over a scan period (e.g., neurons, myocytes, cardiomyocytes) while de-emphasizing regions that exhibit consistently high intensities when images (e.g., regions exhibiting a great deal of autofluorescence unrelated to cell activity).

  • Patent number: 11786129
    Abstract: Human mesh model recovery may utilize prior knowledge of the hierarchical structural correlation between different parts of a human body. Such structural correlation may be between a root kinematic chain of the human body and a head or limb kinematic chain of the human body. Shape and/or pose parameters relating to the human mesh model may be determined by first determining the parameters associated with the root kinematic chain and then using those parameters to predict the parameters associated with the head or limb kinematic chain. Such a task can be accomplished using a system comprising one or more processors and one or more storage devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement one or more neural networks trained to perform functions related to the task.

  • Patent number: 11776135
    Abstract: Techniques are discussed for determining a velocity of an object in an environment from a sequence of images (e.g., two or more). A first image of the sequence is transformed to align the object with an image center. Additional images in the sequence are transformed by the same amount to form a sequence of transformed images. Such sequence is input into a machine learned model trained to output a scaled velocity of the object (a relative object velocity (ROV)) according to the transformed coordinate system. The ROV is then converted to the camera coordinate system by applying an inverse of the transformation. Using a depth associated with the object and the ROV of the object in the camera coordinate frame, an actual velocity of the object in the environment is determined relative to the camera.

  • Patent number: 11769008
    Abstract: Systems and methods may utilize a predictive analysis model to analyze a contract or other document. A system may parse a document and/or a repository of information associated with the document. The system may identify one or more terms in the document and corresponding terms in the repository. The system may determine a difference parameter between a first term extracted from the document and a second term extracted from the repository. The system may determine whether the difference between the first term and the second term, represented by the difference parameter, is likely to be acceptable to the user using a predictive analysis model. The system may report a validation parameter indicating a level of acceptability associated with the difference. User feedback on the accuracy of the predictive analysis model is used to train, modify, and improve the predictive analysis model.
