Принадлежит: Schlumberger Technology Corp

In visualizing flow in subsurface reservoirs, a system partitions flow information according to source-sink pairs and streamlines in a reservoir. The system displays dynamic streamline flow indicators and flow animations, such as 3D pie charts, to dynamically show flow contributions and properties at each well. A pie chart displayed at a producer well may have pie wedges that dynamically update to show the percentage of fluid being received via streamlines from each of multiple injectors. Highlighting the chart highlights all wells contributing to the output. Radial sections of each pie wedge may be further mapped to show the flow rate of components, such as oil, water, and gas phases in a streamline. Each chart may show many other properties and may be stacked across time steps. The system also displays streamline properties with animations, which demonstrate flow velocity and model properties, such as phase components, rates, volumes, etc., through color and size codes.

A presentation program provides an authoring tool allowing users to indicate animation sequences to be applied to an object in a document for purposes of creating or editing animation sequences. The user can directly manipulate the object on an editing pane, and the manipulations are interpreted as applying an animation class type. Different animation effects can be further associated with object for the particular animation class type. The user can select a particular animation effect and define the layout as a key frame that defines the animation sequence to be applied to the object at a given time during playback. The user can further manipulate the object and define subsequent key frames, and upon playback, the presentation program will interpolate the locations of the object between key frames as necessary. The user can further define the time period between key frames that is to be applied during playback.

A recognition device and method capable of recognizing 3D position and orientation of an article at low calculation cost. A 2D image of a region, where articles are randomly located, is obtained by a camera, and 3D information of generally the same region is obtained by a range sensor. A space, where an article to be taken out is considered to exist, is roughly limited. Based on the limited space, a search condition for searching the article by 2D image processing is set, and 2D positional information on the image of the article is obtained. Then, 3D point data used to recognize the 3D position and orientation of the article is selected, and a view line in the 3D space, extending from the camera to the article, is calculated, whereby the 3D position and orientation of the article is calculated.

Принадлежит: Shenyang Institute of Automation of CAS

A method for registering functional MRI data, comprising: computing the functional connectivity pattern for every voxel in its given spatial neighborhood for every fMRI image; extracting features invariant to spatial location of the neighboring voxels based on the functional connectivity patterns; constructing similarity metric between voxels of different images based on the extracted features, and using fluid-like demons registration model to spatial normalize the fMRI data. The present invention tries to exploit the multi-range functional connectivity information of the fMRI data, and to register functional MR images based on the extracted spatial-location-invariant features. The present invention is robust against local spatial perturbations and does not depend on the assumption that functional signals of different subjects are synchronic, hence can be applied to resting-state fMRI data, and can achieve a statistically significant improvement in functional consistency across subjects.

By making the size of the TNM overlay (OL) dependent on the scale of the tumor image, the ratio of the distance between two locations on the positioned TNM overlay to the distance between two locations in the computed tumor image is substantially constant, i.e., substantially independent of the visualization of the image data. Thus, the TNM overlay (OL) superimposed on the tumor image allows a clinician to quickly visually evaluate and rank the tumor of interest according to the TNM classification.

A correlation-based system for watermarking continuous digital media at the system application level. It is a post-compression process for watermarking where no a priori knowledge of the underlying compression algorithm is required. Per each compressed media frame, a current unique digital signature is generated based on the data from the current compressed frame plus the digital signature that has been previously generated. The signature thus generated is then used in conjunction with the next compressed frame to generate the next unique digital signature. All digital signatures are correlated according to the above process until a “reset” signal is issued. A new chain of correlated digital signatures is produced by the system with a pre-determined initial signature.

The invention provides a method of image transformation of a biomedical image, said method comprising: for each voxel of said biomedical image, calculating a transform value indicative of the likelihood of that voxel representing a first tissue type (such as scar tissue); wherein calculating said transform value includes: applying at least one feature function to calculate at least one feature value from the original image voxel value for said voxel and/or from the original image voxel values of one or more voxels proximate to said voxel, said feature function or functions being capable of discriminating between said first tissue and a second tissue type (e.g. healthy tissue); and deriving said transform value from said one or more feature values. The method allows more detail to be extracted from images about the locations of scar and healthy tissue and thus facilitates diagnosis. The transformed image can also be segmented to identify particular areas of interest such as the border zone between scar and healthy tissue where the two tissue types are interwoven. The segmentation technique better identifies clinically relevant information within the image. This information can then be processed to provide an indicator of clinical significance.
