Abstract: Tracking of targets in video captured by a multi-camera surveillance system is often difficult due to incomplete camera coverage and due to the complexities associated with automated recognition in a dense and highly variable environment. The present disclosure embraces a system and method for target tracking in a multi-camera surveillance system that reduces the time required for a user to track a target by offering computer generated search results that include suggestions of candidates found in the video that match (to some degree) the target. When one of the candidates is selected by a user, the search is shifted to other cameras and continued. In this way, the target may be tracked quickly. Further, a playlist of video snippets of the target is accumulated during the search and can be played to show all captured video of the target moving about the facility.

Abstract: Systems and methods search video data for objects that satisfy a general object description. A database is populated with identified objects and object characteristics detected in video data with at least one identifier that specifies video image data. At least one search parameter is received that presents a general object description. The database is queried based upon the received at least one search parameter. At least one identifier is returned from the database based upon the at least one search parameter.

Abstract: Systems and methods of detecting irregular events include the extraction of values for measure in each of a plurality of notifications. The extracted values are stored in a measures database and a distribution is calculated for the values of each of the measures. The extracted values are compared to the calculated distributions to determine if an irregular event has occurred. An irregularity alert is produced if an irregular event has occurred.

Abstract: A method of segmenting one or more soft tissue organs in a 3-D medical image includes registering the image to a bone atlas which also lists landmarks of the organs. Voxels of the image are identified as corresponding to listed landmarks of the organs, based on their position relative to one or more known bones in the registered image. At least one organ is segmented using at least one of the voxels identified as belonging to that organ as a starting point.

Abstract: A method for segmenting a medical image. The method comprises providing a registration of a medical image depicting a plurality of bones with a skeletal atlas mapping an exemplary skeletal structure having a plurality of exemplary bones, identifying at least one component having at least one anatomical characteristic indicative of a predefined organ in the medical image, each the at least one component depicting at least one of the plurality of bones, and segmenting at least one region of interest (ROI) around the at least one component within the medical image according to at least one respective the exemplary bone pertaining to the predefined organ.

Abstract: A method of analyzing structure of a network of vessels in a medical image, comprising: receiving the medical image depicting the network of vessels; obtaining a mask of the network of vessels in the image; and generating a non-forest graph mapping a plurality of paths of vessels in the network to directed paths in the graph, with each edge in the graph either directed to indicate a known direction of flow in the corresponding vessel, or undirected to indicate a lack of knowledge of direction of flow in the corresponding vessel, and with all directed edges in a path directed in a same direction as the path.

Abstract: A method for registering a medical image with a model mapping a skeletal structure. The method comprises receiving a medical image depicting a plurality of bones, providing a statistical model mapping a reference skeletal structure having a plurality of reference anatomical elements, and registering medical image with the statistical model according to at least one constraint defined by the plurality of reference anatomical elements.

Abstract: A method, performed by a computer, of facilitating selection by a user of one path from a set of directed paths in an image, partly overlapping but not constituting a directed tree structure, each path beginning at a root and ending at an end point, the method comprising: a) receiving from the user an indication of a specified location in the image; b) identifying a specified path part that best matches the indication of the specified location; and c) suggesting primarily a single path chosen from among two or more paths in the set which include the specified path part, but do not all follow a same route before the specified path part, and at least one of which separates from another path somewhere along its length.
