  • Patent number: 11750471
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for determining a resource configuration of a cloud service system using a system simulation tool with a model library. This may include: obtaining a model required for each service; obtaining a resource limit setting of each required model; creating a service workflow among the models to obtain a system simulation model, indicating the interaction workflow among the models and the sequence of model execution in a single service; using training data to train a service performance model of each service, wherein the training data comprises test data collected from the cloud service system in a testing environment, and the service performance model defines a resource consumption of a single request running on a service in the system simulation model; performing system simulation with a given resource configuration set and the resource limit settings, to obtain a system performance KPI; and determining a resource configuration with the best KPI.

  • Publication number: 20230125320
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for imaging via an imaging device including a plurality of radiation sources. Each of at least a portion of the plurality of radiation sources may be configured with a beam stop array that is configured to block at least a portion of radiation beams emitted by the radiation source. For one of the at least a portion of the plurality of radiation sources, the system may determine, based on a scatter distribution, first image data, and second image data, third image data of a subject corresponding to each of the at least a portion of the plurality of radiation sources. For each of at least a portion of the plurality of radiation sources, the system may further determine, based on image data of the subject, target image data of the subject using a calibration model.

  • Patent number: 11538160
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a method for scattering correction of an image. The method may include obtaining an image of a subject and a reference image of air. The method may also include identifying an OOI from the image, the OOI including one or more pixels. For each pixel of the one or more pixels of the OOI, the method may also include determining an equivalent thickness of the OOI corresponding to the each pixel based on a pixel value of the each pixel and the reference image, and determining a scatter correction coefficient of the each pixel based at least in part on the equivalent thickness of the OOI corresponding to the each pixel. The method may further include correcting the pixel value of the each pixel using the corresponding scatter correction coefficient for each pixel of the one or more pixels of the OOI.
