Publication number: 20130266230Abstract: The invention relates to an image registration apparatus for registering a first image and a second image with respect to each other. A model, which has a fixed topology, is adapted to the first image for generating a first adapted model and to the second image for generating a second adapted model,and corresponding image elements (40, 48, 49; 50, 58, 9) are determined in the first image and in the second image based on spatial positions of first image elements in the first image with respect to the first adapted model and spatial positions of second image elements in the second image with respect to the second adapted model. Since the model has a fixed topology, corresponding image elements can relatively reliably be found based on the adapted models, even if the first and second images show objects having complex properties like a heart, thereby improving the registration quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2011Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Jochen Peters, Juergen Weese, Helko Lehmann

Publication number: 20120082354Abstract: A system for establishing a contour of a structure is disclosed. An initialization subsystem (1) is used for initializing an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the structure, the structure being represented at least partly by a first image, and the structure being represented at least partly by a second image. A deforming subsystem (2) is used for deforming the adaptive mesh, based on feature information of the first image and feature information of the second image. The deforming subsystem comprises a force-establishing subsystem (3) for establishing a force acting on at least part of the adaptive mesh, in dependence on the feature information of the first image and the feature information of the second image. A transform-establishing subsystem (4) is used for establishing a coordinate transform reflecting a registration mismatch between the first image, the second image, and the adaptive mesh.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2010Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Jochen Peters, Olivier Ecabert, Carsten Meyer, Reinhard Kneser, Juergen Weese

Patent number: 8144950Abstract: Method and system for facilitating post-processing of images using deformable meshes in which a deformable mesh model of an object such as an organ is extended by attaching information thereon in order to simplify and/or facilitate a desired post-processing task so that the post-processing task effected when the mesh is applied to the same object in an additional image can expeditiously use this information. The information may be attached to the mesh after its creation, for example, upon segmentation of the same object in some training image. The post-processing task can therefore be performed automatically without user interaction upon segmentation of the object in the additional image. Information is encoded on the mesh by enumerating a list of triangles or vertices of the mesh which have to be considered in the subsequent, post-processing task and by optionally providing additional parameters defining the precise post-processing algorithm(s) to be used.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Jochen Peters, Olivier Ecabert, Juergen Weese, Christian Lorenz, Jens Von Berg

Patent number: 8041566Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a computer system and a computer program product for speech recognition and/or text formatting by making use of topic specific statistical models. A text document which may be obtained from a first speech recognition pass is subject to segmentation and to an assignment of topic specific models for each obtained section. Each model of the set of models provides statistic information about language model probabilities, about text processing or formatting rules, as e.g. the interpretation of commands for punctuation, formatting, text highlighting or of ambiguous text portions requiring specific formatting, as well as a specific vocabulary being characteristic for each section of the recognized text. Furthermore, other properties of a speech recognition and/or formatting system (such as e.g. settings for the speaking rate) may be encoded in the statistical models. The models themselves are generated on the basis of annotated training data and/or by manual coding.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Nuance Communications Austria GmbHInventors: Jochen Peters, Evgeny Matusov, Carsten Meyer, Dietrich Klakow

Patent number: 7952063Abstract: A method for controlling a plurality of devices, the method including the steps of aiming a pointing device having a camera at an object representing a property of the device to be controlled and manipulating a control input on the pointing device to specify a degree of change for the property. The method further includes the steps of generating an image of a target area aimed at by the pointing device, interpreting the target area image to identify the chosen object, deducing the property of the device to be controlled based on the chosen object, and generating a control signal for the device to be controlled according to the degree of change for the deduced property.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2005Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Jochen Peters

Patent number: 7889900Abstract: A method, computer program and device for creating a viewing protocol for medical images is described. At least a first site of interest is identified in a medical imaging data set captured from the patient. Patient record data or computer assisted detection information can be used to identify the site of interest, which may be a potential lesion. A viewing protocol for displaying medical images to a user is planned. The viewing protocol includes a viewing path along which an image of the site of interest will be displayed. The viewing protocol also includes a trigger associated with the site of interest. When the trigger event is encountered the dynamic mode of image display is reconfigured to dynamically highlight the site of interest. The viewing protocol can then be used to control the display of images so as to provide, for example, a virtual endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2006Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Juergen Weese, Eric Thelen, Gundolf Kiefer, Helko Lehmann, Ali Majidi, Jochen Peters
