| 20090147073 | Methods and Systems for Stereoscopic Three Dimensional Viewing - A method and system for three dimensional viewing of stereo images of an object or cavity includes using an imaging machine to obtain images representative of either a physical volume or a volumetric set of data. A computing machine can be used to identify image elements within the volumetric set of data by executing a ray tracing function to identify image elements along a path that is directed through the collection of images or sequentially ordered stack of images. The computing machine further applies a weighting function to intensity values related to the identified image elements. The computing machine generates at least one image element value based in part on the identified image elements, and based in part on the results generated from the executing of the ray tracing function and the application of the weighting function. Using the at least one image element value, the computing machine derives a pair of stereo images. Alternatively, the computing machine can select from within a collection of images representative of a physical volume, stereo pairs of images. The stereo pairs of images are displayed on a viewing apparatus. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090147074 | Methods and Systems for Marking Stereo Pairs of Images - Systems and methods for marking stereo pairs of images include an imaging device for retrieving a collection of images that are representative of a volume, where the images can be representative of a physical volume or a volumetric set of data. A computing machine identifies image elements within the retrieved collection of images representative of a volumetric set of data, and further generates image element values that are based in part on the identified image elements. The computing machine further generates a stereoscopic pair of projection images having two members, where each member of the pair is based in part on at least one image element value generated by the computing machine. A viewing apparatus displays either the calculated stereoscopic pair of projection images or a pair of stereo images selected from images representative of a physical volume, such that when the pair of images are viewed through a portion of the viewing apparatus, the resultant display is a perceived three dimensional image. An input device or computer application is further used to position a marker within the stereoscopic pair of projection images to identify a location within the stereo pair of images. | 06-11-2009 |
