  • Computed tomography reconstruction from truncated scans
    Patent number: 8213694
    Abstract: A system is provided for reconstructing image data having truncated scans. The system includes a padding section for providing non-zero padding to truncated portions of the image data, a pre-weighting section for pre-weighting the image data including both the non-truncated portions and the non-zero padded portions, a filter section for filtering the pre-weighted image data, and a reconstruction section for reconstructing the filtered image data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 29, 2008
    Date of Patent: July 3, 2012
    Assignee: Barco N.V.
    Inventors: Michael Sarju Vaz, Russell Manning Mersereau

  • Cauchy-distribution based coding system and method
    Patent number: 7418147
    Abstract: Embodiments of a coding system and method are disclosed. One method embodiment includes determining a Cauchy-based probability density function fit to a statistical distribution of coefficients generated from a transformed image frame block that are to be quantized, and estimating rate and distortion of quantized coefficients based on the Cauchy-based probability density function.
