Abstract: A method for calibrating a projector comprises: placing a physical calibration guide within a field of projection of the projector, the physical calibration guide including first optical calibration features; projecting a calibration image by the projector onto the physical calibration guide, the calibration image including second optical calibration features; acquiring with a computing device an image including the first and second optical calibration features; determining a camera transform from the first optical calibration features in the camera image; applying an inverse transform of the camera transform to the second optical calibration features in the camera image to obtain inverse second optical calibration features; and determining a projector transform from the inverse second optical calibration features; wherein the steps of determining a camera transform, applying an inverse transform, and determining a projector transform are performed by the computing device by executing instructions stored ther

Abstract: A projection system for projecting sewing patterns onto a surface comprises a vertical beam, a projector, and a cart. The vertical beam includes (a) a floor engaging portion at a bottom end and (b) a ceiling engaging portion at a top end, the ceiling engaging portion being vertically movable with respect to the floor engaging portion such that, when in use, the floor engaging portion and the ceiling engaging portion engage a floor and a ceiling, respectively, to anchor the projection system adjacent the surface. The projector is configured to receive data representing the sewing patterns and to project the sewing patterns. The cart is operably attached to the projector and slidably attached to the vertical beam, wherein sliding the cart vertically adjusts a height of the projector above the surface.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses using a known location of an item of interest of a breast, such as a lesion, from a method of evaluation to predict the location of the item for another method of evaluation are provided.

Abstract: An image processing enhancement system for receiving a fiber based image. The characteristics of fiber bundle are used to image process an image which has come through the fiber bundle. Those characteristics may be obtained from individual calibration, or simply from a knowledge of the fiber bundle's likely characteristics. One aspect determines the positions of fiber pixels, and interpolates between those fiber pixels.
