  • Patent number: 8044996
    Abstract: The invention relates to topographic construction that combines photographic and structured light information. The dual modality construction acquires structured light information for an object and photographic images from multiple views about the object. Topographic construction then processes the structured light information and photographic data in the multiple images to generate a surface representation of the object in each modality. The photographic and structured light surface representations are then combined to output a dual modality surface topography.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7599731
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the distribution of fluorescent probes inside a sample, such as a mammal. Using a) fluorescent light emission data from one or more images, b) a surface representation of the mammal, and c) computer-implemented photon propagation models, the systems and methods produce a 3D representation of the fluorescent probe distribution in the mammal. The distribution may indicate—in 3D—the location, size, and/or brightness or concentration of one or more fluorescent probes in the mammal.

  • Patent number: 7581191
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer system and user interface that allows a user to readily view and analyze two-dimensional and three-dimensional in vivo images and imaging data. The user interface is well-suited for one or more of the following actions pertinent to in vivo light imaging: investigation and control of three-dimensional imaging data and reconstruction algorithms; control of topographic reconstruction algorithms; tomographic spectral imaging and analysis; and comparison of two-dimensional or three-dimensional imaging data obtained at different times.
