Publication number: 20240112404Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for modifying the scale and/or position of objects in images. For instance, a system can obtain a two-dimensional (2D) input image from a camera and a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the 2D input image. The system can further determine a first portion of the 3D representation of the 2D input image corresponding to a target object in the 2D input image. The system can adjust a pose of the first portion of the 3D representation of the 2D input image corresponding to the target object. The system can further generate a 2D output image having a modified version of the target object based on the adjusted pose of the first portion of the 3D representation of the 2D input image corresponding to the target object to be output on a display.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Meng-Lin WU, Chung-Chi TSAI, An CHEN

Publication number: 20240078679Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for image segmentation are provided. For example, a computing device may obtain an image, and may apply a process to the image to generate input image feature data and input image segmentation data. Further, the computing device may obtain reference image feature data and reference image classification data for a plurality of reference images. The computing device may generate reference image segmentation data based on the reference image feature data, the reference image classification data, and the input image feature data. The computing device may further blend the input image segmentation data and the reference image segmentation data to generate blended image segmentation data. The computing device may store the blended image segmentation data within a data repository. In some examples, the computing device provides the blended image segmentation data for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Chung-Chi TSAI, Shubhankar Mangesh BORSE, Meng-Lin WU, Venkata Ravi Kiran DAYANA, Fatih Murat PORIKLI, An CHEN

Publication number: 20080233552Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of cross-linking amnion to be an improved biomedical material. The present invention adopts the amnion cross-linked by EDC (N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N?-ethyl-carbodiimide HCI) or NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide), and the cross-linked amnion not only has more resistance to protease, but also binds specific extracellular matrix (ECM) such as heparin by using cross-linked functional group. Further, by using the affinity of the ECM with specific growth factors, the amnion can be an efficient carrier for specific growth factor. Hence, some specific diseases may be treated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2007Publication date: September 25, 2008Inventors: David Hui-Kang Ma, Jan-Kan Chen, Chen-Chi Tsai
