Ernesto J. Munoz-Elias has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11915428
    Abstract: An image processing method is provided that automatically calculates Body Surface Area (BSA) score using machine learning techniques. A Felzenszwalb image segmentation algorithm is used to define proposed regions in each of a plurality of training set images. The training set images are oversegmented, and then each of the proposed regions in each of the plurality of oversegmented training set images are manually classified as being a lesion or a non-lesion. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is then trained using the manually classified proposed regions in each of the plurality of training set images. The trained CNN is then used on test images to calculate BSA scores.
