Patent number: 11900635Abstract: A system and method of organically generating a camera-pose map is disclosed. A target image is obtained of a location deemed suitable for augmenting with a virtual augmentation or graphic. An initial camera-pose map is created having a limited number of calibrated camera-pose images having calculated camera-pose locations and homographies to the target image. Then, during the event, the system automatically obtains current images of the event venue and determines homographies to the nearest calibration camera-pose image in the camera-pose map. The separation in camera-pose space between the current images and the camera-pose images are calculated. If this separation is less than a predetermined threshold, that current image is fully calibrated and added to the camera-pose map, thereby growing the map organically.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2023Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Inventors: Oran Gilad, Samuel Chenillo, Oren Steinfeld

Patent number: 11892289Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for manually calibrating imaging systems such as optical coherence tomography systems. In certain aspects, an imaging system displays an image showing a target and a reference item. A user looks at the image and indicates a point within the image near the reference item. A processer detects an actual location of the reference item within an area around the indicated point. The processer can use an expected location of the reference item with the detected actual location to calculate a calibration value and provide a calibrated image. In this way, a user can identify the actual location of the reference point and a processing algorithm can give precision to the actual location.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: PHILIPS IMAGE GUIDED THERAPY CORPORATIONInventors: Andreas Johansson, Jason Y.
