475 results about "Reference range" patented technology

In health-related fields, a reference range or reference interval is the range of values that is deemed normal for a physiologic measurement in healthy persons (for example, the amount of creatinine in the blood, or the partial pressure of oxygen). It is a basis for comparison (a frame of reference) for a physician or other health professional to interpret a set of test results for a particular patient. Some important reference ranges in medicine are reference ranges for blood tests and reference ranges for urine tests.

Method for processing stereo vision data using image density

An image collection system collects stereo image data comprising left image data and right image data of a particular scene. An estimator estimates a reference three dimensional image density rating for corresponding reference volumetric cell within the particular scene at a reference range from an imaging unit. An image density compensator compensates for the change in image density rating between the reference volumetric cell and an evaluated volumetric cell by using a compensated three dimensional image density rating based on a range or relative displacement between the reference volumetric cell and the evaluated volumetric cell. An obstacle detector identifies a presence or absence of an obstacle in a particular compensated volumetric cell in the particular scene if the particular compensated volumetric cell meets or exceeds a minimum three dimensional image density rating
