  • Patent number: 11132794
    Abstract: An image processing system connected to an endoscope and processing in real-time endoscopic images to identify suspicious tissues such as polyps or cancer. The system applies preprocessing tools to clean the received images and then applies in parallel a plurality of detectors both conventional detectors and models of supervised machine learning-based detectors. A post processing is also applied in order select the regions which are most probable to be suspicious among the detected regions. Frames identified as showing suspicious tissues can be marked on an output video display. Optionally, the size, type and boundaries of the suspected tissue can also be identified and marked.

  • Patent number: 10929669
    Abstract: There is provided a method of generating instructions for presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) for dynamically tracking at least one polyp in a plurality of endoscopic images of a colon of a patient, comprising: iterating for the plurality of endoscopic images: tracking a location of a region depicting at least one polyp within the respective endoscopic image relative to at least one previous endoscopic image, when the location of the region is external to the respective endoscopic image: computing a vector from within the respective endoscopic image to the location of the region external to the respective endoscopic image, creating an augmented endoscopic image by augmenting the respective endoscopic image with an indication of the vector, and generating instructions for presenting the augmented endoscopic image within the GUI.

  • Publication number: 20090080738
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention improve edge detection in 2-dimensional image data that may be carried out automatically with minimal user involvement. The invention is carried automatically, using an image processing technique that results in generation of a segmented edge contour, which may then be used in 3-dimensional reconstruction and segmentation.

  • Publication number: 20050218551
    Abstract: A novel process for modification of polyolefines and their copolymers thereof, enables the production of modified PP with minimal deterioration of molecular weight and low gel content PE and their copolymers and with minimal yellowness. The novel compound is comprised of polyolefin resin or a mixture of resins, unsaturated acidic monomer and organic peroxide, together with low volatility polar acrylic co-monomer and low softening point resin, in a continuous reactive reactor The novel process minimizes sublimation of maleic anhydride and improves distribution of monomers and initiator prior to the melting of the polyolefin.

  • Publication number: 20040136570
    Abstract: A method and apparatus providing good image enhancement for the visually impaired utilizing the “Ullman-Zur enhancement” algorithm. The method and apparatus consists in obtaining an original image, detecting and enhancing the edges and lines of the image by using Balanced Difference of Gaussians to obtain a first processed image, smoothing the original image by using a convolution of the original image with Gaussian, enhancing the contrast of the smoothed image, calculating the intensity average, AC, and the standard deviation of the intensity, SDC, of the chosen region, and stretching the intensity of the smoothed image linearly according to AC, SDC, and some specific rules to obtain a second processed enhanced image. The first processed image is superimposed on the second processed enhanced image to obtain the final enhanced image that is more readily perceived by a visually impaired person.

  • Patent number: 6406437
    Abstract: A micro-perimeter technique using a portable computer and a projector, and using two screening methods, multi-resolution static and bi-directional kinetic. The static method, as applied to a static test, starts with relatively low-resolutions, and only the unseen zones are selectively remapped under higher resolutions during successive iterations. The bi-directional kinetic method, as applied to a kinetic test, uses a response to a continuously moving target, and the unknown response delay is compensated for by an algorithm that merges the patient's response to measurements at the same visual location, but with opposite scanning directions. Offline visualization of the mapping results is performed automatically superimposed over the fundus image.
