Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for relighting images using predicted deep reflectance fields are provided.

Abstract: Disclosed subject matter relates to Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) that determines an area to be scanned in PBS for analysis. A PBS analysing system captures a focused image at each of plurality of positions in the PBS and determines Quality Indicators (QIs) in focused image. Further, a region is identified in PBS where QIs of focused image satisfy predefined QI threshold limits, as a monolayer region of PBS and determines an initiation point in monolayer region based on cell count value and co-ordinates of each of the plurality of positions located in the monolayer region. Finally, the area to be scanned in monolayer region is determined based on the initiation point and a predefined scan pattern. Determining the area to be scanned yields accurate and faster results.

Abstract: Embodiments of present disclosure discloses system and method for acquisition of optimal images of object in multi-layer sample. Initially, images for FOV of multi-layer sample comprising objects are retrieved. Each of images are captured by varying focal depth of image capturing unit associated with system. Further, objects associated with multi-layer sample in FOV are identified. For identification, cumulative foreground mask of FOV is obtained based on adaptive thresholding performed on foreground image of FOV. Based on contour detection performed on cumulative foreground mask of FOV, object masks, corresponding to objects, is obtained for identifying objects. Further, sharpness of each of images associated with each of object masks is computed. Based on sharpness, optimal images from images for each of objects is selected for acquisition of optimal images of objects in multi-layer sample.

Abstract: This invention describes a game of inverse chess, with a pre-identified start position, and end position and arbitered moves chosen amongst a set of possible moves, played between two opponents on a chess board. This differs from normal chess in that it is played backwards in time where the objective is to reconstruct the pre-identified start position, from the pre-identified end position. While the pieces used in the game are essentially the same as that of regular chess, the moves they make are reversed. Since the state-space of this game is much larger in the potential moves, an arbiter is used to validate possible moves that one player might choose to make. Using either a regular or modified chess board, the pieces on the board move backwards. Three such moves are described in the I-castle, spawn and I-check moves. A variant of the game is the two-knight game wherein two knights play each other and the piece reaching the pre-identified start position, win.
