20100014747 | Stent Inspection System - Apparatus, systems, and methods for inspecting longitudinal surfaces and sidewalls of cut tubes are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a line camera, the line camera being configured to capture images of longitudinal surfaces of the cut tubes, an area camera joined with the line camera, the area camera being configured to capture images of sidewalls of the cut tubes, a mandrel and drive, a multi-axis motion stage, a vertical motion stage, and a rotating motion stage. In some embodiments, the system includes a camera module, a tube positioning module, a motion control module, and an analysis module. In some embodiments, the method includes positioning a line and area cameras, moving the cut tubes, capturing images of the longitudinal surfaces and sidewalls of the cut tubes, providing comparable images of a template cut tube, and comparing the images of the cut tubes to those of the template cut tube. | 01-21-2010 |
20100053317 | System and method to illuminate and image the inside diameter of a stent - An optical system is effective to illuminate and scan an interior wall of an object having an interior bore, such as a stent. The system includes a light source, an object support having a light conducting portion, an image taking lens, and a line scan camera. The interior bore and the light conducting portion of the object support are in axial alignment with a center optical axis of the image taking lens. A drive mechanism engages the object without impacting the axial alignment. Various aspect of this optical system include a rotating wheel or transparent plate as the drive mechanism. The object support may be an opaque rod having a light conducting portion or a transparent rod. Electronics associated with this optical system include a rotary encoder engaging the drive system to drive an electric circuit capable of triggering the line scan camera in response to rotation of the object, thereby building a line by line image of the interior bore and the line scan camera connected to a computer-based imaging system effective to identify cosmetic and functional manufacturing defects. | 03-04-2010 |
20130329036 | Automated Stent Inspection System - A method for the rapid optical inspection of stents is described wherein a stent is mounted on a mandrel with optical properties suitable for machine vision inspection of the stent is conveyed to a first inspection station containing a camera and illumination light source. A driving member securely contacts the mandrel and the stent is rotated in view of the inspection camera. The stent is then transferred to a second location for further operations. A unique identification tag is associated with each mandrel and tracks the location of the stent through the inspection process. | 12-12-2013 |

20150286893 | System And Method For Extracting Dominant Orientations From A Scene - In one embodiment, a method of identifying the dominant orientations of a scene comprises representing a scene as a plurality of directional vectors. The scene may comprise a three-dimensional representation of a scene, and the plurality of directional vectors may comprise a plurality of surface normals. The method further comprises determining, based on the plurality of directional vectors, a plurality of orientations describing the scene. The determined plurality of orientations explains the directionality of the plurality of directional vectors. In certain embodiments, the plurality of orientations may have independent axes of rotation. The plurality of orientations may be determined by representing the plurality of directional vectors as lying on a mathematical representation of a sphere, and inferring the parameters of a statistical model to adapt the plurality of orientations to explain the positioning of the plurality of directional vectors lying on the mathematical representation of the sphere. | 10-08-2015 |

20130249908 | PARAMETERIZED MODEL OF 2D ARTICULATED HUMAN SHAPE - A novel “contour person” (CP) model of the human body is proposed that has the expressive power of a detailed 3D model and the computational benefits of a simple 20 part-based model. The CP model is learned from a 3D model of the human body that captures natural shape and pose variations. The CP model factors deformations of the body into three components: shape variation, viewpoint change and pose variation. The CP model can be “dressed” with a low-dimensional clothing model. The clothing is represented as a deformation from the underlying CP representation. This deformation is learned from training examples using principal component analysis to produce so-called eigen-clothing. The coefficients of the eigen-clothing can be used to recognize different categories of clothing on dressed people. The parameters of the estimated 20 body can be used to discriminatively predict 3D body shape using a learned mapping approach. | 09-26-2013 |
