Abstract: A computer system (MD) and relates method for spectral-data based material decomposition. The system comprises a statistical module (SM) configured to fit, per patch in input spectral imagery, a set of probability distributions (Pk) to a respective vector spectral diagram (5) for the respective patch (A). The patch is one of a plurality of patches in the input spectral imagery obtained by operation of a spectral imaging apparatus. The probability distributions are combinable into a probability map indicative of material type probabilities per image location in the input spectral imagery.

Abstract: An intelligent gardening system and method for monitoring and analyzing a moisture level in individual gardening pots and/or containers is provided. A system comprises a moisture measuring sensor integrated into a pot/container. A gardener can read moisture-related data using a mobile device, a computer, or a tablet, or directly from built-in display. The gardener can send the moisture level-related data along with other data (such as, a type of a plant, a soil type, size of a pot, a plant size, location, current weather, an air temperature, etc.) to a central server connected to a central gardening database or to a cloud service and receive gardening recommendations. The gardening recommendations can include other recommendations pertaining to a particular plant and gardening conditions.

Abstract: A method for inserting an invasive tool, including: attaching a frame to a human body adjacent to a portion of the body; acquiring an image of the body; determining a trajectory of the tool on the image; calculating points of intersection between the trajectory and two sheet which are adapted to be inserted into the frame; perforating the sheets at the calculated points; placing the sheet within the frame; and inserting the invasive tool through the perforations.
