  • Publication number: 20140147028
    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes an image-based method for measuring elasticity of biological tissues including following steps: obtaining N successive grayscale images of a testing biological tissue, where N is a positive integer; obtaining regions of interest (ROI) of the grayscale images; dividing the regions of interest into a grid of small sections; calculating relative displacement vector of each interrogation window using texture matching method; and calculating elastic modulus of each interrogation window according to the relative displacement vectors. The present disclosure also proposes an image-based system for measuring elasticity of biological tissues. The present disclosure applies to various resolutions of grayscale images obtaining in ultrasound imaging, optical imaging, photoacoustic imaging, CT imaging, magnetic resonance imaging ect. The system can be integrated into a traditional clinical imaging system as an image post-processing software module to characterize tissue elasticity.

  • Publication number: 20130016584
    Abstract: Technologies are provided to recover motion, position, or navigation data of underwater sensors using bathymetry data. A method includes iteratively fitting data obtained by an underwater sensor from interactions between acoustic signals and an underwater floor, and deriving at least one of motion, position, or navigation data of the underwater sensor from the fitting. A standalone sonar can use the methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer programs to realize the derivation of motion, position, or navigation data without a position or motion sensor.

  • Patent number: 8265743
    Abstract: Fixation-locked measurement of brain activity generates time-coded cues indicative of whether an operator exhibited a significant cognitive response to task-relevant stimuli. The free-viewing environment is one in which the presentation of stimuli is natural to the task encompassing both pre- and post-fixation stimuli and the operator is allowed to move his or her eyes naturally to perform the task.

  • Patent number: 8244475
    Abstract: The human neural response is coupled with computer pattern analysis for robust single-event detection of significant non-stationary brain responses triggered upon occurrence of a task-relevant stimulus. Classifier performance is enhanced fusing together the outputs of multiple different classifiers albeit multiple spatial classifiers to extract a temporal pattern as the brain response evolves, time and frequency-based spatio-temporal classifiers, and/or EEG and pupillary classifiers.

  • Patent number: 7938785
    Abstract: A computationally efficient and robust approach for monitoring the instantaneous pupil response as a correlate to significant cognitive response to relevant stimuli derives data samples d(n) of the pupil diameter (area), v(n) of pupil velocity and a(n) of pupil acceleration from the pupillary response and segments the data samples into a sequence of time-shifted windows. A feature extractor extracts a plurality of spatio-temporal pupil features from the data samples from the response and baseline periods in each window. A classifier trained to detect patterns of the extracted spatio-temporal pupil features for relevant stimuli generates an output indicative of the occurrence of absence of a significant cognitive response in the subject to a relevant stimulus.
