Publication number: 20220218242Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for making a determination whether a blood sample is, or is not, infected with a malaria parasite. The determination is made using a trained machine-learning (ML) algorithm. In some aspects, a microfluidic chip is used for the concentration of red blood cells infected with these parasites from uninfected red blood cells, the staining of the blood sample which differentially stains infected and uninfected red blood cells, and holds the sample of interest for imaging. The microfluidic chip is inserted into an optical subsystem that magnifies the image created from transmitted light microscopy. The magnified image is captured with a camera, and a trained ML algorithm assesses if the sample does or does not contain the parasite. Generally, the ML algorithm is executed on a portable computing device such as a smartphone.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Vishwanath SUBRAMANIAM, Mark DREW, Jonathan KADOWAKI, Travis JONES, Joseph WEST, Marcel YOTEBIENG, Shaurya PRAKASH, Alexander SCARMUZZI, Redi LLAPI, Jack CROWLEY, Sandra METZLER

Patent number: 11238573Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed herein to provide improved image processing, the techniques comprising: obtaining an input image and target image data, and then calculating derivatives for the target image data using a regularized derivative kernel operator. In some embodiments, the regularized operator may comprise the following operator: [?1 (1+?)], wherein ? may be a controllable system parameter and preferably is independent of the particular type of image processing being applied to the image. In some embodiments, the techniques may find look-up table (LUT) mappings or analytical functions to approximate the derivative structure of the target image data. Finally, the techniques disclosed herein may generate an output image from the input image based on attempting to closely approximate the calculated derivatives for the target image data. In preferred embodiments, by controlling the mapping, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Graham Finlayson, Mark Drew
