Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for determining that an object in a sequence of images is a human. The method may include the steps of detecting an object in a first image from the sequence of images and assigning a first score to the object. The object is tracked to a second image from the sequence of images and a second score is assigned to the object in the second image. The second score is compared to a threshold that is inversely related to the first score and a determination that the object in the second image is a human is made based on the comparison.

Abstract: The invention is a system for measuring the true dimensions and orientation of objects in a two dimensional image. The system is comprised of a ruler comprising at least one set of features each comprised of two or more markers that are identifiable in the image and having a known spatial relationship between them and a software package comprising programs that allow extension of the ruler and other objects in the two dimensional image beyond their physical dimensions or shape. The system can be used together with radiographic imagery means, processing means, and display means to take x-ray images and to measure the true dimensions and orientation of objects and to aid in the identification and location of a surgery tool vs. anatomy in those x-ray images. The invention provides a method of drawing and displaying on a two dimensional x-ray image measurements of objects visible in said image, graphical information, or templates of surgical devices.

The object is tracked to a second image from the sequence of images and a second score is assigned to the object in the second image. The second score is compared to a threshold that is inversely realted to the first score and a determination that the object in the second image is a human is made based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method of analyzing a medical image, the method comprising making a measurement on a 2D medical image of an organ and correcting the measurement in view of an angle of incidence between an imaging instrument and an imaged organ in the 2D medical image.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for generating a panoramic image of a region of interest (ROI) which is larger than a field of a view of a radiation based imaging device, comprising, positioning markers along the ROI, acquiring a set of images along the ROI, wherein the acquired images have at least partially overlapping portions, aligning at least two separate images by aligning a common marker found in both images and compensating for a difference between a distance from a radiation source to the marker element and the distance from the radiation source to a plane of interest.

Abstract: The present invention includes methods, apparatuses, assemblies, circuits and systems for assessing, estimating and/or determining relative distances/positions, alignment, orientation and angles of rotation of a portion of a bone and between two or more portions of a bone, e.g. a fractured bone. According to some embodiments of the present invention, there may be provided a reference object (e.g. a reference grid), which reference object may include an array of reference markings visible in a radiographic image. The reference object may be used in conjunction with one or more radiographic imaging devices and image processing circuitry to facilitate determination of a 3D position and orientation of points within images acquired by the imaging devices from different angles and spatial relationships between these points.
