  • Publication number: 20240111151
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide technology for eliminating image quality degradation that may occur in a case where a Foveated rendering technology is utilized. A display device (100) of the present invention includes a scanning mirror drive unit that drives a scanning mirror (104) such that, in a case where two or more mutually different non-resonant axial direction scanning speeds are used in a drawing region of one frame of a video formed by a laser light scanning, non-resonant axial direction scanning speed gradually changes between the different non-resonant axial direction scanning speeds. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the display device (100) may further include a hologram element (106) that condenses laser light near a pupil (108) to cause the laser light to reach a retina, the laser light being scanned by the scanning mirror (104).

  • Patent number: 11138737
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for predicting the reprogramming process of cells from a microscopic image of one or more cells. According to some embodiments, the method includes capturing an image of region of interest (ROI) of every pixel of the microscopic image, followed by processing the ROI image with a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) model and a trained long short-term memory (LSTM) network so as to obtain predicted probability maps. Also disclosed herein are a storage medium and a system for executing the present methods.
