  • Predicting user interactions during image processing
    Patent number: 9111223
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for processing images by means of a series of user interactions. When processing an image, the user follows a series of interactions. Preferably, this is standardized to ensure reproducibility and accuracy. However, the series of interactions required from the user may be dependent on the needs of the user, the image being processed or even on the preferences of the user. The invention provides an apparatus which can deal with complex image processing requirements, providing both a standardized series of steps, or trail, in the image visualization process, and allowing the user to deviate from this standard trail if required. This accelerates and simplifies the interaction necessary when the user performs a known task on a different image.

  • Group-wise image registration based on motion model
    Patent number: 8588488
    Abstract: A method includes generating a set of group-wise registered images from a time sequence of images based on a region of interest of a subject or object identified in at least one of the images, the image sequence, and a motion model indicative of an estimate of a motion of the subject or object during which the image sequence is acquired.
