  • Patent number: 11445108
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for direction guidance of an endoscopic device in a tubular organ. The method receives a current image frame from a camera disposed on the endoscopic device, where the current image frame captures a visible lumen of the tubular organ. The method determines an area of the visible lumen in the current image frame and a ratio of the area of the visible lumen to a minimum enclosing circle of the visible lumen. If the ratio breaches a defined threshold, the method adjusts a target direction of the endoscopic device in a direction from a center of the visible lumen towards a center of the image frame and outputs a notification of the adjusted target direction to a controller of the endoscopic device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8866847
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for providing augmented reality information is disclosed. The method includes capturing an image of a set of items with an image capturing component coupled to a network-enabled computing device associated with a user identifier. The captured image is processed to identify each item of the set of items while a predefined list of user's preferences is retrieved using the user identifier. For each identified item, checking is made if the item matches a condition related to the predefined list of user's preferences. And based on the matching result, item information is conveyed to the network-enabled computing device and overlaid on the image.
