  • Publication number: 20260245343
    Abstract: The application provides an image detection method. A category label library may be pre-constructed based on the characteristics of images of a target type, and for each category label in the category label library, a probability threshold for that category label may be determined based on an accuracy rate of prediction results of a target detection model on sample images. By pre-setting, for each category label in the category label library, a probability threshold adapted to that category label, the target detection model achieves higher accuracy when detecting images of the target type, thereby reducing the occurrence of false detections or missed detections. Moreover, the probability threshold corresponding to each category label can be adjusted based on the accuracy rate of the prediction results of the target detection model, so that users can adjust the strictness of the detection criteria based on actual needs, making image detection more flexible.

  • Publication number: 20260245231
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20260159121
    Abstract: A method for classifying environmental image frames for vehicles, using a universal iterative classification model, is presented. The method combines text-based querying, active machine-learning models, and user input to form an end-to-end automatic flow for sourcing video frames captured by sensors on a vehicle. An index of frames is used and continuously populated with data for new frames, with each frame scored on its likelihood of containing a representation of a driving scenario of interest. Each iteration of the classification model produces a classification result that is predicted to belong to the scenario of interest. Binary labels can be applied to the results. Subsequent iterative training of classification models can be performed using updated training sets containing previously labeled classification results, to improve precision and accuracy in classifying image data to a driving scenario.
