  • Patent number: 6587598
    Abstract: The invention relates to an image processing method with steps of acquiring (1) a sequence of translation overlapping images (11) representing an elongated scene; determining regions (ROI) in image pairs (Pk) and region sections (Bj) having dimensions suitable for matching (2); estimating region and section displacement fields (24, 25); regularizing (3) said region and section displacement fields (34, 35); interpolating pixel values of sections that have dimensions suitable for merging calculated from the regularized section displacement field, so as to evaluate the pixel values of corresponding regions and further scaling the sections in said regions to dimensions calculated from the regularized region displacement field, and reconstructing (4) an overview image (41) of the elongated scene (112) with said regions. The invention also relates to a system for implementing said method and a medical examination apparatus having said image processing system.

  • Publication number: 20030014435
    Abstract: The invention consists of defining a generic class and a plurality of specific classes which extend from said generic class. Said specific classes are intended to be made into instances for the generation of an object tree. The generic class comprises a generic method of invoking a specific method of a specific class for the objects of the tree which are instances of this specific class. For a current object of the tree the generic method invokes said specific method if the current object is an instance of said specific class and it is recursively executed for the variables of the current object which are instances of one of said specific classes.

  • Publication number: 20030014438
    Abstract: The invention proposes an internal data structure, written in an object programming language, and which is intended to be instantiated for providing an internal data representation able to be manipulated by an application program. This internal data structure has an abstract generic class, and other classes that all inherit from said abstract generic class. This abstract generic class contains a generic method of writing a node in an interface for an HTML or XML-type document, and/or a generic method of reading a node of an interface associated with an HTML or XML-type document.
