30 results about "Blob detection" patented technology

In computer vision, blob detection methods are aimed at detecting regions in a digital image that differ in properties, such as brightness or color, compared to surrounding regions. Informally, a blob is a region of an image in which some properties are constant or approximately constant; all the points in a blob can be considered in some sense to be similar to each other. The most common method for blob detection is convolution.

Method, system, and apparatus for efficient total body photography image processing

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for high resolution total body photography (TBP). The inventive method uses a multi-stage keypoints focused pipeline that begins with blob detection to rapidly and coarsely localize potential lesions within high-resolution TBP images. Once these regions of interest are identified, a deep learning classifier evaluates them for malignancy risk. Acknowledging that wide-field imaging can compromise classification precision due to variability in resolution and appearance, the process is further refined by integrating ugly duckling analysis and t-SNE clustering. The ugly duckling detection process groups suspicious regions across all images, effectively highlighting clusters of high-risk candidates for further clinical review utilizing the method of the invention.
