Abstract: The current disclosure provides methods and systems for visualizing, comparing, and navigating through, labeled image sequences. In one example, a degree of variation between a plurality of labels for an image in a sequence of images may be encoded as a comparison metric, and the comparison metric for each image may be graphed as a function of image position in the sequence of images, thereby providing a contextually rich view of label variation as a function of progression through the sequence of images. Further, the encoded variation of image labels may be used to automatically flag inconsistently labeled images, wherein the flagged images may be highlighted in a graphical user interface presented to a user, pruned from a training dataset, or a loss associated with the flagged image may be scaled based on the encoded variation during training of a machine learning model.

Abstract: A patient transport apparatus for transporting a patient. A seat section is pivotably coupled to a support structure about a seat axis. A front wheel is operatively attached to a front strut of the support structure, and a carrier is arranged for movement relative to the support. The carrier includes a shaft defining a wheel axis, a rear wheel supported for rotation about the wheel axis, a track having a belt, and a hub supporting the shaft and the track for concurrent pivoting movement about a hub axis defined by a upright of the support structure. The hub axis extends through a plane intersecting the seat axis, fixed relative to the upright, and defining opposing first and second sides. Movement of the carrier from a chair configuration to a stair configuration simultaneously deploys the track and moves the wheel axis from the first side to the second side.
