Publication number: 20230410336Abstract: A method and system for identifying a GI (gastrointestinal) part associated with a location of a capsule device within a human GI tract are disclosed. According to this method, one or more structured-light images captured by the capsule device when the capsule device is inside the human GI tract are received, where the structured-light images are captured by projecting a plurality of structured light beams from the capsule device onto a surrounding lumen wall. Distance information is derived based on the structured-light images for a target set of measuring rays from the capsule device to the surrounding lumen wall. The GI part associated with the location of the capsule device associated with a distance-measuring frame related to said one or more structured-light images is determined based on the distance information, where the GI part belongs to a group comprising a transverse colon.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Kang-Huai Wang, Ganyu Lu

Patent number: 10638920Abstract: A method and apparatus of aligning a lens module with respect to an image sensor device for a capsule camera are disclosed. The image sensor device comprises multiple pixel arrays and the lens module comprises multiple lens sets to form multiple images corresponding to multiple fields of view associated with the multiple lens sets, and each lens set forms one image for one corresponding pixel array associated with one field of view. A method according to the present invention present invention, one or more test images are presented in the multiple fields of view associated with the lens module. Multiple images in the multiple fields of view are captured using the multiple pixel arrays. Metric measurement is derived based on the multiple images captured by the multiple pixel arrays. Lens alignment between the lens module and the image sensor device is then adjusted based on the metric measurement.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: CAPSOVISION INCInventors: Ganyu Lu, Gordon C.

Patent number: 10098526Abstract: An endoscopy capsule having an image collecting capacity includes a deformable member configured to inflate when exposed to body liquid. The deformable member includes an effervescent material. When the effervescent reacts with water the resulting Carbon-Dioxide gas reduces the specific gravity of the endoscopy capsule. The capsule is contained within a shell or dome when swallowed. The shell or dome is configured dissolve in either a low or high pH environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: CAPSOVISION INC.Inventors: Mikael Trollsas, Phat Trinh, Mark Hadley, Kang-Huai Wang, Gordon Cook Wilson, Ganyu Lu
