  • Publication number: 20210074425
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically marking locations within a radiograph of one or more dental pathologies, anatomies, anomalies or other conditions determined by automated image analysis of the radiograph by a number of different machine learning models. Image annotation data may be generated based at least in part on obtained results associated with output of the multiple machine learning models, where the image annotation data indicates at least one location in the radiograph and an associated dental pathology, restoration, anatomy or anomaly detected at the at least one location by at least one of the machine learning models. A number of different pathologies may be identified and their locations marked within a single radiograph image.

  • Publication number: 20210073977
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting an interactive user interface that visually marks locations within a radiograph of one or more dental pathologies, anatomies, anomalies or other conditions determined by automated image analysis of the radiograph by a number of different machine learning models. Annotation data generated by the machine learning models may be obtained, and one or more visual bounding shapes generated based on the annotation data. A user interface may present at least a portion of the radiograph's image data, along with display of the visual bounding shapes appearing to be overlaid over the at least a portion of the image data to visually mark the presence and location of a given pathology or other condition.

  • Patent number: 10937108
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically evaluating a claim submitted to an insurance carrier. Claim information and at least one image associated with the claim may be received, where the image has been submitted to a carrier as supporting evidence of a service performed by a submitter of the claim. The system may provide image data and other claim information from the submitted claim as input to machine learning models configured to identify whether the image data, such as a radiograph, supports the other data in the claim submission, such as a treatment code.

  • Publication number: 20200410287
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating labeled image data for improved training of an image classifier, such as a multi-layered machine learning model configured to identify target image objects in image data. When the initially trained classifier is unable to identify a particular object in input image data, such as an object that did not appear in initial training data, feature information determined by the classifier for the given image data may be provided to a clustering model. The clustering model may group image data having similar features into different clusters or groups, which may in turn be labeled at the group level by an annotator. The image data assigned to the different clusters, along with the associated labels, may subsequently be used as training data for training a classifier to identify the labeled objects in images.

  • Patent number: 10838106
    Abstract: Known georeferencing techniques require input in the form of manually-chosen anchor points or dense surveyed data. The present invention is an improved method and system for georeferencing underground geometric data. The method comprises (a) visiting at least two control points; (b) obtaining information about each of the at least two control points using scanning means; (c) recording the information about the at least two control points into a computer processor; and (d) performing a best-fit transformation to the recorded information. Preferably, the scanning means comprises laser scanners and at least two radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. However, other technologies, such as retro-reflective LIDAR targets, Wi-Fi access points or bar codes and a bar code reader may also be used. In addition, sonar, radar, flash LIDAR, MEMS LIDAR, or any other similar technology could be used.

  • Patent number: 10787470
    Abstract: A method of preparing a solid-supported phospholipid bilayer is provided. The method includes a) a first step of providing a solution comprising a bicellar mixture of a long-chain phospholipid and a short-chain phospholipid; b) at least one second step of decreasing the temperature of the solution to below 0° C., increasing the temperature to above room temperature and causing the solution to be blended; and c) a third step of depositing the solution obtained after the second step on a surface of a support, wherein the concentration of the long-chain phospholipid in the solution is at most 0.1 mg/mL, for obtaining a solid-supported phospholipid bilayer. A solid-supported phospholipid layer obtained by the method as defined above is also provided.
