  • Patent number: 11941581
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for real-time detection of a very large number of items in a given constrained volume. Specifically, the disclosure relates to systems and methods for retrieving an optimized set of classifiers from a self-updating classifiers' database, configured to selectively and specifically identify products inserted into a cart in real time, from a database comprising a large number of stock-keeping items, whereby the inserted items' captured images serve simultaneously as training dataset, validation dataset and test dataset for the recognition/identification/re-identification of the product.

  • Patent number: 11941754
    Abstract: A three-dimensional geometric model of a heart can be generated from a plurality of two-dimensional image slices of the heart collected using an intracardiac echocardiography (“ICE”) catheter. Each image slice can be associated with localization information for the ICE catheter. The image slices can be output in a plurality of voxels according to their associated localization information, thereby creating a three-dimensional geometric model of the heart. Data sufficiency of the three-dimensional model can also be graphically represented. For example, data sufficiency can be represented using voxel opacity, a one-dimensional illustration, a two-dimensional illustration, and/or a data collection cue.

  • Publication number: 20240070880
    Abstract: Al-based computer vision algorithms, operating in the real world rather than in the digital domain, typically operate in a certain three-dimensional space. The system, programs and method provided herein, describe a system that allows limiting the execution of Al algorithms to operate only on objects breaching a predefined and confined plane (also termed grid) or a volume in space. In other words, the system programs and method provided herein define a 2D/2.5D/3D regions or grid in space, operable to detect any change which occurs in and through this grid. This ability includes in certain implementations, the detection of any animate or inanimate object, or multiple grouped objects which may cross, pass or introduced to this grid, their type, identification and action assigning.

  • Patent number: 11564769
    Abstract: A registration fixture or plate is configured for use with a medical imaging system. The registration fixture may be an optical magnetic registration plate including a plurality of fiducial markers in arranged in a predefined unique pattern. The pattern can be unambiguously detected on 2D image of the plate produced by the medical imaging system. Association of the 2D imaged pattern of fiducial markers with the actual 3D pattern on the optical magnetic registration plate allows for accurate calculation of projection matrices and co-registration of the 3D and 2D coordinate systems.

  • Publication number: 20210142504
    Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to systems and methods for identifying fiducial markers on one or more images of an anatomical region of a patient. Prior to the identification of the fiducial markers, other objects are identified and removed. In particular, some embodiments are directed toward the detection of fiducial markers in the presence of catheters and other medical devices in a fluoroscopic image. In such an embodiment, identifying and removing the medical devices from the clinical image aids in properly identifying the fiducial markers.

  • Patent number: 10687777
    Abstract: In part, the invention relates to processing, tracking and registering angiography images and elements in such images relative to images from an intravascular imaging modality such as, for example, optical coherence tomography (OCT). Registration between such imaging modalities is facilitated by tracking of a marker of the intravascular imaging probe performed on the angiography images obtained during a pullback. Further, detecting and tracking vessel centerlines is used to perform a continuous registration between OCT and angiography images in one embodiment.
