    Abstract: An apparatus for compressive sensing may include a filter array, a detector, and a reconstruction engine. The filter array may be configured to generate a first illumination pattern in response to a first wavelength of light and a second illumination pattern in response to a second wavelength of light. The first illumination pattern and the second illumination pattern may be projected onto an object. The detector may be configured to determine a first intensity of a first light emitted by the object in response to the first illumination pattern and a second intensity of a second light emitted by the object in response to the second illumination pattern. The reconstruction engine may be configured to generate an image of the object based at least on the first intensity, the first illumination pattern, the second intensity, and the second illumination pattern.

  • Publication number: 20160256610
    Abstract: A method for using 3D printing technology produces personalized biomimetic drug-eluting coronary stent and the product thereof. The process of manufacturing stent, based on coronary angiography imaging data, measures the diameter of diseased coronary and conducts 3D reconstruction. A personalized stent for each patient according to diameter, length, and morphological characteristics of target vessel that suited to the lesion is produced. The coronary stent is formed from biodegradable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) or other materials. The stent is modeled by 3D printing and then coated with polymers carrying antiproliferative drug to reduce restenosis (the polymers is a mixture of antiproliferative drug and PDLLA at a ratio of 1:1).

  • Patent number: 9430715
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detection and removal of cast shadows from an image. In particular, one or more embodiments compute correspondences between image patches in the image using a grid-based patch-matching algorithm. One or more embodiments then train a regression model to detect shadows from the computed patch correspondences. One or more embodiments then segment the detected shadows into shadow regions and identify cast shadows from the shadow regions. Once the cast shadows are identified, one or more embodiments use patch-based synthesis of pixels guided by a direct inversion of the image. Optionally, one or more methods can use pixels from the synthesized image and the naïve inversion of the image, based on a synthesis confidence of each pixel, to produce a combined result.

  • Patent number: 9286362
    Abstract: A metadata management system and method enables complex query searches by users, e.g., different users having different query needs, using the same infrastructure. For querying metadata, the metadata management system provides functionality for aggregating all the concepts (metadata items) and relationships of the metadata across one or more users in a common format; extracting concepts and storing them in a metadata store (e.g., a relational database); extracting relationships and modeling them in a standard semantic representation. The system and method further records users' different needs on relationships into user-specific configuration files. The system is configured for retrieving, in response to a user query, relevant data items by using the meta-data selectively. In one embodiment, a selection of meta-data used in the retrieving is determined according to captured context information.
