  • Publication number: 20070165942
    Abstract: A method for rectifying misalignment in a stereoscopic display system (140) comprises: providing a pair of input images to an image processor (120); creating an image source displacement map for the pair of input images; obtaining a display displacement map (150); and applying the image source displacement map and the display displacement map to the pair of input images to create a rectified stereoscopic image pair.

  • Publication number: 20050129288
    Abstract: A digital image processing method detects facial features in a digital image. This method includes the steps of detecting iris pixels in the image, clustering the iris pixels, and selecting at least one of the following schemes to identify eye positions: applying geometric reasoning to detect eye positions using the iris pixel clusters; applying a summation of squared difference method using the iris pixel clusters to detect eye positions; and applying a summation of squared difference method to detect eye positions from the pixels in the image. The method applied to identify eye positions is selected on the basis of the number of iris pixel clusters, and the facial features are located using the identified eye positions.

  • Publication number: 20050123180
    Abstract: In a method, computer program, and system a dental target, such as a tooth, is located within a digital dental image. A reference object that was placed in the patient's mouth is segmented within a digital dental image to provide a segmented reference. The reference object has a predetermined size dimension. A window is segmented in the dental image at the position of the dental target. The segmented reference defines the relative size and location of the window, prior to the segmenting of the window.
