Patent number: 6690386Abstract: In a system for displaying medical images, medical images are generated from views internally within a body by means of x-rays, CAT scan, or MRI. The images are spaced in time or are views of spaced slices through tissue or through an organ within a body. The spacing between the images is such that the display of the images as a motion picture would result in the motion being depicted as jerky in the motion picture. A video processor generates dense motion vector fields between adjacent frames of the original set of images and, from the dense motion vector fields, generates interpolated images between the images of the original set. The interpolated images are assembled into a motion picture set of images, which are displayed by a video display device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: DynaPel Systems, Inc.Inventors: Steven D. Edelson, Klaus Diepold

Publication number: 20020135695Abstract: In a video processing system selected frames are eliminated to reduce the amount of video data. The frames are selected for elimination by scoring the frames to determine which frames can be eliminated and then most easily recreated from the remaining video after the elimination has taken place. When frames are eliminated, residuals are produced representing the difference between the recreated frames and the corresponding original frames which were eliminated. The frame elimination and generation of residuals is carried out in repeated cycles to progressively reduce the size of the remaining video until the amount of data in the computed residuals for each frame in the reduced video equals or exceeds the amount of data in the corresponding frames.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2001Publication date: September 26, 2002Inventors: Steven D.

Publication number: 20020054211Abstract: In a video camera surveillance system, a video processor determines dense motion vector fields between adjacent frames of the video. From the dense motion vector fields moving objects are detected and objects undergoing unexpected motion are highlighted in the display fo the video. To distinguish expected motion from unexpected motion, dense motion vector fields are stored representing expected motion and the vectors representing the moving object are compared with the stored vectors to determine whether the object motion is expected or unexpected. In an alternative embodiment, the video surveillance system comprises a panning camera and the frames of the video are arranged in a mosaic. Object motion in the video is detected by means of dense motion vector fields and the predicted position of objects in the mosaic is detected based on the detected object motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2001Publication date: May 9, 2002Inventors: Steven D. Edelson, Klaus Diepold

Publication number: 20020041339Abstract: In a system for processing video to represent motion in still images, the motion of objects in the video is detected by a video processor which generates dense motion vector fields to identify moving objects in a selected video frame. The video processor adds speedlines to the selected frame, contour repetition to the selected frame, or image repetition to the selected frame to represent the motion of the objects in the selected frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2001Publication date: April 11, 2002Inventor: Klaus Diepold

Patent number: 6351545Abstract: In the motion picture display system, successive frames of a motion picture are compared to determine the dense motion vector fields representing the change of position of image elements in the images represented by the frames. Interpolated frames are generated by scaling the vectors of the dense motion vector fields to a fraction of their original magnitudes and moving image elements in the corresponding frames to positions in the interpolated frames in accordance with the dense motion vector fields. The invention is used to eliminate jerky motion in low frame rate motion pictures and also to provide slow motion in high frame rate motion pictures.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1999Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: DynaPel Systems, Inc.Inventors: Steven D. Edelson, Klaus Diepold
