Patent number: 11807284Abstract: A method and system for identification of obstacles near railways and for providing alarm to an operator of a train if obstacles constitute threat to the train are disclosed. The system comprise IR sensor disposed at the front of the train facing the direction of travel. The IR sensor receives images of the rails in front of the train. The system comprises pre-stored vibration profile of the train's engine that is used to eliminate influence of the engine's vibrations on the accuracy of the received images. Presence of rails in the received frames is detected based on inherent differences of temperature between the rails and the substrate in the rails' background, such as the railway sleepers and the materials underneath it. The system may detect defects in an electric conductor system of a train.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: RAIL VISION LTDInventors: Elen Josef Katz, Yuval Isbi, Shahar Hania, Noam Teich

Publication number: 20230037424Abstract: The invention relates to a computing system and a computer-implemented method for classifying images of retina of eyes of subjects. A captured image of a retina is processed to obtain a plurality of different segmented images each having different selected portions of the captured image using different selection rules. The multiple segmented images are provided to respective dedicated machine learning models to output an image classification based on the respective segmented images provided as input. An ensemble classification is determined based on the multiple classifications obtained by means of the multiple trained machine learning models.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2020Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventor: Bart ELEN

Patent number: 11416999Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are disclosed for segmenting, from an image, a tooth's pulp region comprising a pulp chamber and root canals. Curvature-based shape recognition is performed at different spatial scales using smoothed versions of the image. An indication of a point or region is received, located in the pulp chamber and referred to as “seed”. The seed is used as initial segmentation mask. An update procedure, iteratively carried out, comprises: (i) determining candidate image elements for updating the segmentation mask, comprising: (i?1) in the first n iteration(s), a grayscale thresholding taking as reference the current segmentation mask; and, (i?2) in at least one iteration, taking the curvature-based shape recognition into account; (ii) retaining, among the candidate image elements, a region of connected candidate image elements that comprises the seed; and (iii) using the retained region to update the segmentation mask.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Medicim NVInventors: Bart Goris, Pieter Van Leemput, Wouter Mollemans, An Elen

Patent number: 10399218Abstract: A motorized tool for scrubbing, buffing, and polishing. The tool has a motor within a housing powered by an electrical power supply to move a base member. Surface treatment material is selectively retained by the base member, potentially by a latching system, a sleeved surface treatment system, or hook and loop material. A water-resistant battery pack can be selectively engaged with the housing, such as through a mating engagement between a tubular projection from the battery pack in combination with an annular socket in the housing, in a substantially watertight manner to provide electrical power. A liquid retaining volume can be disposed within the motorized tool, such as partially within a handle and partially contiguous with a motor compartment of the housing, for retaining a volume of liquid. Liquid can be selectively emitted into or through a surface treatment pad through an exhaust tube.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Inventor: Carine Elen
