Abstract: A pallet inspection system includes a frame configured to have a pallet receiving area to receive a wooden pallet to be inspected for having at least one mark indicating that wood in the pallet has been heat treated. Cameras are carried by the frame to generate images of the wooden pallet in response to the wooden pallet being in the pallet receiving area. A processor is to perform object detection on each image to detect if the mark is present, crop each image having the mark so that an area surrounding the mark within the image is removed, and perform image segmentation on each cropped image so that pixels within the cropped image are classified into regions. The processor determines readability of the regions in each cropped image based on respective readability criteria thresholds. The mark is classified in each cropped image as readable based on the mark meeting the respective readability criteria thresholds.

Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes receiving, by a reconstruction engine executed by processors, inputs respective to an anatomical structure and computing, by a model-based fast anatomical mapping of the reconstruction engine, an initial transformation that selects parametric model that best fits the inputs. The method further includes executing, by the model-based fast anatomical mapping, an iterative optimization. The iterative optimization include constructing a statistical prior based on the parametric model and applying the parametric model to the inputs and the statistical prior to produce an isosurface of the anatomical structure. The method further includes generating, by the reconstruction engine, an output including the isosurface.

Abstract: A system and method for providing relative positional information of a therapeutic or diagnostic device during the treatment of urinary tract diseases and conditions.

Abstract: A parametric model representing a portion of a heart is constructed using a statistical prior of the shape from a dataset of other instances of the portion. Using a mapping electrode, electrical data is acquired in a plurality of locations in the portion of the heart of a subject. The parametric model is fitted to the electrical data and the statistical prior to produce an isosurface of the portion of the heart and a reconstruction of its shape.
