  • Patent number: 11946849
    Abstract: A differentiation system for differentiating cells includes an input device configured to receive holographic image data of a microscopic particle in suspension, holographic image data processing logic for converting the holographic image data to the frequency domain by performing a Fourier transform of the holographic image data, and a recognizer configured to determine characterization features of the holographic image data of the microscopic particle in the frequency domain for characterization of the microscopic particle, the characterization features comprising rotationally invariant features.

  • Publication number: 20230266709
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for computing a holographic interference pattern for a holographic plane including pixels of an illuminated three-dimensional, 3D, scene having object points representing one or more 3D objects. The method involves: determining, for a respective object point, a total light component contributed by one or more light sources in the 3D scene; and calculating, for a respective pixel, a complex-valued amplitude based on the total light component of non-occluded object points within a viewing cone of the pixel, thereby deriving the holographic interference pattern. The present disclosure further relates to a computer program product implementing the method, a computer-readable storage medium comprising the computer program product and a data processing system for carrying out the method.

  • Publication number: 20230179315
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to methods for disseminating scaling information and applications thereof in very large scale integration (VLSI) implementations of fixed-point fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). One embodiment includes a method for disseminating scaling information in a system. The system includes a linear decomposable transformation process and an inverse process of the linear decomposable transformation process. The inverse process of the linear decomposable transformation process is defined, in time or space, as an inverse linear decomposable transformation process. The linear decomposable transformation process is separated from the inverse linear decomposable transformation process. The linear decomposable transformation process or the inverse linear decomposable transformation process is able to be performed first and is defined as a linear decomposable transformation I. The other remaining process is performed subsequently and is defined as a linear decomposable transformation II.

  • Patent number: 11277633
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a computer-implemented method for compensating motion for a digital holographic video stream, the method comprising: obtaining (1010) a sequence of frames representing consecutive holographic images of a scenery; obtaining (1020) translation and rotation vectors describing a relative motion of at least one object in said scenery between a pair of frames from among said sequence of frames; and applying (1030) an affine canonical transform to a first frame of said pair of frames so as to obtain a predicted frame, said affine canonical transform representing said translation and rotation vectors. The invention also pertains to a computer program product and to an apparatus for compensating motion for a digital holographic video stream.
