20090190814METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION - Disclosed is an imaging system including a source generating an x-ray beam, a detector array receiving the x-ray beam and generating projection data, a translatable table configured for disposal of an object thereon and operable to translate in relation to the source and the detector array, the source and the detector array rotating about the translatable table to scan the object, and an image reconstructor electrically coupled to the detector array and configured to reconstruct an image in response to the projection data via an iterative reconstruction technique configured to perform a targeted statistical reconstruction.07-30-2009
20090323129IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF - An image processing method of an image processing apparatus, the method includes: discerning pixels to be processed on the basis of a preset reference pixel value in a scanned image that comprises plural pixels; drawing a pixel area including the pixels to be processed from the scanned image on the basis of a preset condition; and selecting whether to apply an image process to the pixels to be processed or the drawn pixel area on the basis of a percentage of the pixels to be processed in the drawn pixel area.12-31-2009
20100156919SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TEXT-BASED PERSONALIZATION OF IMAGES - As set forth herein, a computer-implemented method is employed to place personalized text into an image. A location and region within the image is determined where the text is to be placed. The 3D geometry of the surface is estimated proximate to the location where the text is to be placed. A personalized text string is received. The personalized text string is incorporated into the image to appear as if it is rendered onto the surface or object according to the estimated 3D geometry.06-24-2010
20110158545APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MATCHING SYMBOLS IN A TEXT IMAGE CODING AND DECODING SYSTEM - An apparatus of a text image coding and decoding system includes a matching unit to compute a first distance between a symbol of a text image with a reference symbol of a symbol dictionary, to determine whether the symbol matches with the reference symbol according to the first distance and a first reference, and to compute a second distance between the one of the symbols with the reference symbol if the symbol does not match with the reference symbol according to the first distance and the first reference, and to determine whether the symbol matches with the reference symbol according to the second distance and a second reference.06-30-2011

20080304726METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVING SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL RESOLUTION OF COMPUTED IMAGES OF MOVING OBJECTS - A method of improving a resolution of an image using image reconstruction is provided. The method includes acquiring scan data of an object and forward projecting a current image estimate of the scan data to generate calculated projection data. The method also includes applying a data-fit term and a regularization term to the scan data and the calculated projection data and modifying at least one of the data fit term and the regularization term to accommodate spatio-temporal information to form a reconstructed image from the scan data and the calculated projection data.12-11-2008
20100054394METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION - A method and system for image reconstruction of data acquired by a device such as computed tomography is provided. The method and system use a multi-stage statistical iterative reconstruction techniques to provide a three dimensional representation of the scanned object. In one embodiment, the first stage uses a projection-based reconstruction technique, such as Ordered Subset (OS) to converge on a solution for low frequency portion of the image. A subsequent stage uses a voxel-based reconstruction technique, such as Iterative Coordinate Descent (ICD), to converge on a solution for high frequency portions of the image. Systems and methods for reconstructing images from incomplete or partial projection data is also provided.03-04-2010
20100215140METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO FACILITATE CORRECTING GAIN FLUCTUATIONS IN ITERATIVE IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION - Methods and systems for reconstructing an image are provided. The method includes performing a tomographic image reconstruction using a joint estimation of at least one of a gain parameter and an offset parameter, and an estimation of the reconstructed image.08-26-2010

20100020300MEASUREMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD - According to an aspect of the present invention, a method of controlling a measurement apparatus for determining a property of an individually controllable element of an array of individually controllable elements, the array of individually controllable elements being capable of controlling a distribution of a beam of radiation, is disclosed. The method includes, for a sequence of a plurality of individually controllable elements: directing a measurement beam of radiation at an individually controllable element of the plurality of individually controllable elements; and detecting the measurement beam once it has been re-directed by the individually controllable element, wherein the sequence in which the method is undertaken for the plurality of individually controllable elements is related to the orientation of the plurality of individually controllable elements when the plurality of individually controllable elements are oriented to control a distribution of a beam of radiation.01-28-2010
