Publication number: 20230028489Abstract: A parking assist system for a vehicle includes an environment information obtainer, a sufficient parking space setter, a parked-vehicle inter-space calculator, a parking capable space setter, and a parking assister. The environment information obtainer obtains environment information around the vehicle. The sufficient parking space setter sets a sufficient parking space for the vehicle by including a parking allowance width on each of left and right sides of the vehicle. The parked-vehicle inter-space calculator calculates a space between parked vehicles, based on the obtained environment information. The parking capable space setter compares the space between the parked vehicles with the sufficient parking space and, when determining the space between the parked vehicles is greater than or equal to the sufficient parking space, sets the space between the parked vehicles to be a parking capable space. The parking assister guides the vehicle to the parking capable space.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Otoki YAGI, Masayoshi KOIJI, Reo HARADA, Tomomi HETA, Cong Kien NGUYEN

Publication number: 20230025490Abstract: A parking assist system for a vehicle includes an environment information obtainer, a storage, a parked vehicle detector, a space determiner, and a parking possibility determiner. The storage stores a reference parking width to be used for parking the vehicle. The parked vehicle detector detects a parked vehicle. The space determiner compares a width of a space next to the parked vehicle with the reference parking width and determines whether the width of the space is greater than or equal to the reference parking width. If the width of the space is found to be greater than or equal to the reference parking width, the parking possibility determiner determines whether a target object is detected at a back side of the space. If the target object is not detected, the parking possibility determiner determines that parking in the space is prohibited.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Masayoshi KOIJI, Otoki YAGI, Cong Kien NGUYEN, Tomomi HETA, Reo HARADA

Patent number: 11144774Abstract: A system and a method for unveiling poorly visible or lightly colored nuclei in an input image are disclosed. An input image is fed to a color deconvolution module for deconvolution into two color channels that are processed separately before being combined.

Patent number: 10898222Abstract: A method of segmenting images of biological specimens using adaptive classification to segment a biological specimen into different types of tissue regions. The segmentation is performed by, first, extracting features from the neighborhood of a grid of points (GPs) sampled on the whole-slide (WS) image and classifying them into different tissue types. Secondly, an adaptive classification procedure is performed where some or all of the GPs in a WS image are classified using a pre-built training database, and classification confidence scores for the GPs are generated. The classified GPs with high confidence scores are utilized to generate an adaptive training database, which is then used to re-classify the low confidence GPs. The motivation of the method is that the strong variation of tissue appearance makes the classification problem more challenging, while good classification results are obtained when the training and test data origin from the same slide.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: VENTANA MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Joerg Bredno, Christophe Chefd'hotel, Ting Chen, Srinivas Chukka, Kien Nguyen
