  • Publication number: 20250022153
    Abstract: A deep learning network can perform three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction of a scene from multi-view calibrated two-dimensional (2D) images. The network can include a convolutional neural network that performs feature extraction to generate feature pyramids corresponding to features at different levels of resolution. The feature pyramids can be used to compute a respective cost volume for each feature pyramid at each level of resolution, with the cost volume incorporating a learnable parameter that corresponds to a weight allocated to the “reference” feature pyramid relative to other feature pyramids. A depth map for each input image can be generated based at least in part on the cost volume.

  • Patent number: 7101671
    Abstract: This invention is to provide a method for detecting DNA hybridization on DNA chips using 4-D parameters. Based on the traditional method of using 3-D parameters to detect DNA hybridization on DNA chips, this invention introduces temperature as the forth parameters to determine the melting temperatures by scanning the changes of fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent labels on the double-stranded oligo nuclei acids resulted from the increasing of hybridization temperature. Comparing the measured melting temperatures with the standard melting temperature specific for each probe on the chip is used to gain insight into the specific property of the single-stranded nucleic acids in the sample. This device is composed of a DNA chip containing transparent glass chamber, in which a temperature sensor and a thermo-circler are installed. This invention provides a specific, sensitive, and easy operating method to detect gene in a complex sample.
