Publication number: 20230022554Abstract: Methods and systems for imaging and analysis are described. Accurate pressure ulcer measurement is critical in assessing the effectiveness of treatment. However, the traditional measuring process is subjective. Each health care provider may measure the same wound differently, especially related to the depth of the wound. Even the same health care provider may obtain inconsistent measurements when measuring the same wound at different times. Also, the measuring process requires frequent contact with the wound, which increases risk of contamination or infection and can be uncomfortable for the patient. The present application describes a new automatic pressure ulcer monitoring system (PrUMS), which uses a tablet connected to a 3D scanner, to provide an objective, consistent, non-contact measurement method. The present disclosure combines color segmentation on 2D images and 3D surface gradients to automatically segment the wound region for advanced wound measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2020Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Matthew J. Peterson, Linda J. Cowan, Kimberly S. Hall, Dmitry Goldgof, Sudeep Sarkar, Chih-Yun Pai, Hunter Morera, Yu Sun

Patent number: 10321855Abstract: Aspects of gait matching are described herein. In one embodiment, a method of gait matching includes identifying a gait cycle timing in a data sequence captured by an inertial sensor, splitting the data sequence into a gait cycle segment, resampling the gait cycle segment, and estimating a rotation matrix for the resampled gait cycle segment. The rotation matrix, in one embodiment, can be estimated by minimizing a root mean squared deviation between the resampled gait cycle segment and a reference gait cycle segment. The method further includes calculating an aligned gait cycle segment from the resampled gait cycle segment using the rotation matrix, and generating a similarity measure between the aligned gait cycle segment and the reference gait cycle segment.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDAInventors: Sudeep Sarkar, Ravichandran Subramanian, Miguel A.

Patent number: 8331632Abstract: A novel, linear modeling method to model a face recognition algorithm based on the match scores produced by the algorithm. Starting with a distance matrix representing the pair-wise match scores between face images, an iterative stress minimization algorithm is used to obtain an embedding of the distance matrix in a low-dimensional space. A linear transformation used to project new face images into the model space is divided into two sub-transformations: a rigid transformation of face images obtained through principal component analysis of face images and a non-rigid transformation responsible for preserving pair-wise distance relationships between face images. Also provided is a linear indexing method using the linear modeling method to perform the binning or algorithm-specific indexing task with little overhead.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignees: University of South Florida, The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Department of Commerce, the National Institute of Standards and TechnologyInventors: Pranab Mohanty, Sudeep Sarkar, Rangachar Kasturi, P.

Patent number: 8165352Abstract: A method of reconstructing biometric face image templates of a face recognition system (FRS) using the match scores or distances provided by the FRS. The match scores represent the distance between a image introduced to the FRS and the unknown image template stored in the FRS. The present method uses an affine transformation approximating the unknown algorithm within the FRS and the match scores provided by the FRS to determine the coordinates of the unknown target template. The coordinates of the unknown target template are then applied to a pseudo-inversion of the affine transformation to produce a reconstructed image template of the unknown target. This reconstructed image template can then be used to ‘break-in’ to the FRS.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: University of South FloridaInventors: Pranab Mohanty, Sudeep Sarkar, Rangachar Kasturi
