  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REAL-TIME IMAGE REGISTRATION
    Publication number: 20150206309
    Abstract: A method for image registration includes the steps of: providing a computer and an imager; acquiring and processing a reference image frame including a plurality of reference strips; acquiring and correcting a target frame by the steps of: acquiring one or more target frame strips of the target frame; comparing the one or more target frame strips in real-time to one or more corresponding strips of the reference frame based on a calculated registration of a specific target frame strip from a previous target frame; correcting a registration of the one or more target frame strips; repeating steps until a last strip of the target frame; repeating the steps of acquiring and correcting a target frame until a last target frame is acquired; and saving processed image based on a plurality of corrected target frames to a non-volatile memory. A system to perform the method is also described.

  • Screen privacy filter using software
    Patent number: 9058509
    Abstract: A software-based privacy filter is provided on a computing device. First, a content window is opened and displayed on a display of the computing device. Then a semi-transparent topmost window is created, wherein the semi-transparent topmost window includes a moving privacy pattern designed to obscure first portions of the content window at a first time and obscure second portions of the content window at a second time. The semi-transparent topmost window is then displayed on top of the first content window on the display of the computing device.

  • Light Source Modulation for a Scanning Microscope
    Publication number: 20150157204
    Abstract: Systems, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for imaging an object. The system includes a scanner. The scanner positions a spot of light from a light source on the object along a scanning path. The scanning path includes a plurality of scan lines. The spot moves along the scanning path at a scanning velocity. The scanning velocity is not constant. The intensity of the spot of light is modulated as a function of the scanning velocity. The system includes a detector that is arranged to output data associated with positions along the scanning path. The system includes one or more processors that perform calculations. Pixels are calculated based on the output data. The image is constructed of the object based on the pixels.

  • Image Based Correction of Distortion from a Scanner
    Publication number: 20150156365
    Abstract: System, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions for imaging an object. Dividing raw data into forward scan data and backward scan data. Reversing the order of the backward scan data to produce inverted backward scan data. Determining an offset value that is associated with a maximum value of a first function based on the forward scan data and the inverted backward scan data. The forward scan data is shifted by the offset value relative to the inverted backward scan data. Producing a first image of the object that comprises the forward scan data interlaced with the inverted backward scan data. The forward scan data is shifted by the offset value relative to the inverted backward scan data.
