  • System and method for context preserving maps of tubular structures
    Patent number: 9792729
    Abstract: A computer-based method for generating a context preserving mapping of tubular structures represented by a 3D dataset having the steps of projecting a skeleton of a 3D tubular structure on to a 2D plane, and adjusting the projected skeleton to correct projection imbued distortion in skeleton length. The 2D projected skeleton is processed to remove intersections, and a surface boundary around the 2D skeleton is determined for the map. The 3D surface of the skeleton is mapped to match the 3D boundary to create a 3D map of the tubular structure.

  • REGISTRATION OF SCANNED OBJECTS OBTAINED FROM DIFFERENT ORIENTATIONS
    Publication number: 20130170726
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for registration of scans of an object, such as a biological organ, by obtaining scans of the object that includes a first scan obtained with the object in a first position and a second scan obtained with the object in a second position different from the first position, extracting landmarks within each of the scans, flattening each of the scans, detecting feature points of each of the flattened scans, matching corresponding feature points of each of the flattened scans, performing a harmonic map registration using the matched corresponding feature points and displaying the registered scans.
