20090052532 | AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFYING EDGES OF MOVING OBJECTS - The edge identification system receives a pair of images from which an in-between image is to be created. The edge identification system calculates two vector fields: one to warp the second image onto the first, and the other to warp the first image onto the second. The two vector fields are typically symmetric; however, the fields are not symmetric along the edge of an object (e.g., the foreground) that is moving differently than the layer behind it (e.g., the background). This type of movement creates occlusions in which an object that was visible in one image will not be visible in the other image and vice versa. The edge identification system uses these areas to automatically identify the edges of moving objects. Thus, the edge identification system can identify the edges of objects without requiring the user to provide a matte or other manual assistance. | 02-26-2009 |

20110196284 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF WOUND FLUID BLOOD AND APPLICATION OF PHOTOTHERAPY IN CONJUNCTION WITH REDUCED PRESSURE WOUND TREATMENT SYSTEM - Wound fluid blood detection systems and methods are described that are operable in conjunction with reduced pressure wound treatment (RPWT) systems, as well as ancillary therapy and monitoring systems applied concurrently with RPWT systems. The blood detection monitor operates by optically characterizing the content of wound fluids to the extent of identifying percentage blood content. This identification relies upon the transmission of select wavelengths of light across a volume of wound fluid to a photo detector (connected to signal processing instrumentation) capable of quantifying the absorption characteristics of the fluid. The detection components may be implemented in conjunction with either a fluid flow conduit (i.e. the reduced pressure tubing directing fluid away from the wound dressing) or more directly in association with the materials that comprise the wound dressing positioned within the wound bed itself. In addition, the present invention is configured to operate in conjunction with blood gas monitoring, systems operating with the RPWT. Finally, the components of the systems that serve to illuminate the wound bed, lend themselves to use in conjunction with illumination in discreet electromagnetic wave wavelengths suitable for the application of phototherapy. | 08-11-2011 |
