  • Patent number: 9818193
    Abstract: In a hyperspectral imaging system and method, a pixilated imaging sensor array receives light reflected from, transmitted through, or scattered by a target scene. Images of the target scene are acquired at a number of times and these images are processed to generate hyperspectral data for each pixel of the imaging sensor array based on data for the pixel included in each of the acquired images. This processing can include spatially aligning two or more of the images that were spatially shifted with respect to each other when acquired based on at least one common image feature in the images.

  • Patent number: 9607380
    Abstract: Methods and electronic devices for performing color-based reaction testing of biological materials. The method includes capturing and interpreting digital images of an unexposed and later exposed paddle at various delay times within an automatically calibrated environment. The test paddle includes a unique identification mechanism (UID), a Reference Color Bar (RCB) providing samples of standardized colors for image color calibration, compensation and corrections, and several test-specific sequences of Chemical Test Pads (CTP). The method further includes locating the paddle in the image, extracting the UID and validating the paddle, extracting the RCB and locating the plurality of CTP in each image. The method further reduces image noise in the CTP and calibrates the image automatically according to lighting measurements performed on the RCB.

  • Patent number: 9528941
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus for automatic test diagnosis of a test paddle is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a personal computing device including: a camera to capture images over time of test pads of a test paddle, a processor coupled to the camera, and a display device coupled to the processor. The processor analyzes the color changes over time of each test pad to determine a color trajectory over time for each test pad. The processor compares the color evolution trajectory for each test pad with color calibration curves for each test pad to determine an analyte concentration of a test biological sample, such as urine. During the analysis by the processor, the display device displays a user interface with results of the analyte concentration in response to the analysis over time.
