  • Method and apparatus for improved training of object detecting system
    Patent number: 9031317
    Abstract: An adequate solution for computer vision applications is arrived at more efficiently and, with more automation, enables users with limited or no special image processing and pattern recognition knowledge to create reliable vision systems for their applications. Computer rendering of CAD models is used to automate the dataset acquisition process and labeling process. In order to speed up the training data preparation while maintaining the data quality, a number of processed samples are generated from one or a few seed images.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM OF AUTOMATED DETECTION OF LESIONS IN MEDICAL IMAGES
    Publication number: 20100158332
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for processing medical images. Input medical images are normalized first, utilizing pixel intensities of control point tissues, including subcutaneous fat. Clustered density map and malignance probability map are generated from a normalized image and further analyzed to identify regions of common internal characteristics, or blobs, that may represent lesions. These blobs are analyzed and classified to differentiate possible true lesions from other types of non-malignant masses often seen in medical images.

  • Method and apparatus for determining peripheral breast thickness
    Publication number: 20060167355
    Abstract: A method, computer software product and computer system for analyzing digital mammograms. The method, computer software product and computer system involve a generating phantom thickness object; receiving a set of dimensions for a breast; and, transforming the phantom thickness object to conform to the set of dimensions for the breast to provide the three-dimensional breast thickness object.
