  • Publication number: 20230289958
    Abstract: A method for processing a radiological image, in digital format includes at least one radiological anomaly detected using a convolutional neural network that has been trained to detect radiological anomalies on radiological examinations, the radiological image being characterized by the intensity of each of its pixels, and by at least one radiological anomaly influence map that assigns, for each pixel of the radiological image, a value representative of the proportion to which the pixel had an influence on the detection result of the radiological anomaly, which method is computer-implemented and comprises the steps of: normalizing the radiological anomaly influence maps to give normalized radiological anomaly influence maps; fusing the normalized radiological anomaly influence maps to give a single fused influence map; carrying out improvement processing on the image, using an intensity histogram, wherein the contribution of each pixel in the computing of the intensity histogram is weighted by the fused influ

  • Patent number: 11195330
    Abstract: The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for generating a structured three-dimensional (3D) model from a mesh. The method includes obtaining a mesh that comprises faces, each face of the mesh including a normal and principal curvature values; computing a distribution of the principal curvatures values over the whole mesh by counting the number of occurrences of discretized curvature values; identifying in the computed distribution one or more dominant ranges of principal curvature values; for each identified dominant range, computing one or more regions of the mesh that includes faces belonging to the identified dominant range; for each computed region, detecting a primitive type by using the curvatures values of all faces of the region and identifying parameters of the detected primitive by using the mesh surface of the region.

  • Patent number: 11100710
    Abstract: The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for extracting a feature tree from a mesh. The method includes providing a mesh, computing a geometric and adjacency graph of the provided mesh, wherein each node of the graph represents one region of the mesh and comprises a primitive type and parameters of the region, each connection between two nodes is an intersection between the respective surfaces of the regions represented by the two connected nodes. The method also includes instantiating for each node of the graph, a surface based on the identified primitive type and parameters of the region.

  • Patent number: 10783707
    Abstract: The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for 3D reconstruction. The method comprises providing a 3D point cloud representing a real object. The method also comprises fitting the 3D point cloud with parametric surfaces. The method also comprises defining a partition of the parametric surfaces into oriented facets which respect intersections between the parametric surfaces. The method also comprises determining, among the oriented facets of the partition, a set of facets that represents a skin of the real object. The determining comprises minimizing an energy. The energy includes a data term and a constraint term. The data term increasingly penalizes discarding facets, as a level of fit between a discarded facet and the 3D point cloud increases. The constraint term penalizes formation of non-skin geometry by kept facets. Such a method provides an improved solution for 3D reconstruction.
