Patent number: 12579655Abstract: Automatic volumetric quantification can be performed for various parameters of an object by providing volumetric data, such as three-dimensional image data, to at least one neural network. A network can extract features from the data that can be used to infer a point cloud representative of the surface of the object. One or more loss functions can be used to adjust the relevant network parameters. The network can also attempt to infer a segmentation mask for the object, indicating which data values correspond to the object of interest. Since the network performs the segmentation and point cloud generation in parallel, updates to the network parameters can impact the segmentation process, effectively constraining the segmentation based on the inferred shape of the object. Ensuring that the segmentation mask corresponds closely to the surface of the object can cause the segmentation process to be more accurate than conventional segmentation processes alone.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Holger Roth, Jingsheng Cai, Daguang Xu, Dong Yang

Patent number: 12164599Abstract: Volumetric quantification can be performed for various parameters of an object represented in volumetric data. Multiple views of the object can be generated, and those views provided to a set of neural networks that can generate inferences in parallel. The inferences from the different networks can be used to generate pseudo-labels for the data, for comparison purposes, which enables a co-training loss to be determined for the unlabeled data. The co-training loss can then be used to update the relevant network parameters for the overall data analysis network. If supervised data is also available then the network parameters can further be updated using the supervised loss.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2023Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Holger Roth, Yingda Xia, Dong Yang, Daguang Xu

Publication number: 20230316467Abstract: A system including a computing device, including at least one processor, communicatively coupled to a digital detector array (DDA) including a plurality of functioning pixels and one or more defective pixels. The processor is configured to receive first data characterizing defective pixels and their positions, and receive second data characterizing a first inspection image of an object, wherein the first inspection image includes dark regions aligned with the defective pixels. The processor is also configured to determine a shift setting based on the first data and/or the second data. The shift setting includes a measure of physical adjustment to be applied to the DDA or the object. The processor is also configured to provide the shift setting to a positioning device configured to shift the DDA and/or the object, receive third data characterizing a second inspection image, and apply at least a portion of the second inspection image to the first inspection image.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventor: Holger Roth

Patent number: 11200667Abstract: Disclosed prostate computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems employ a Random Forest classifier to detect prostate cancer. System classify individual pixels inside the prostate as potential sites of cancer using a combination of spatial, intensity and texture features extracted from three sequences. The Random Forest training considers instance-level weighting for equal treatment of small and large cancerous lesions and small and large prostate backgrounds. Two other approaches are based on an AutoContext pipeline intended to make better use of sequence-specific patterns. Also disclosed are methods and systems for accurate automatic segmentation of the prostate in MRI. Methods can include both patch-based and holistic (image-to-image) deep learning methods for segmentation of the prostate. A patch-based convolutional network aims to refine the prostate contour given an initialization. A method for end- to-end prostate segmentation integrates holistically nested edge detection with fully convolutional networks.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Nathan S.
