20090214111 | METHOD FOR ENHANCING IN-VIVO IMAGE CONTRAST - This invention relates to methods for enhancing an image by expanding the color contrast of the image presented to a wider range of colors that is optimized for the item sought to be viewed. The method also increases contrast of an image or a portion of an image for example an in vivo image captured by an autonomous in vivo device. A user interface with a display provides the user with the option of viewing selected images captured by the in-vivo imaging device in either regular view or in a color enhanced view to enable more distinct viewing of the selected images. | 08-27-2009 |
20090274347 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF PROCEDURE TERMINATION - This invention relates to a system and methods for determining the initiation and/or the termination of an autonomous in vivo imaging procedure, such as by a capsule imaging the gastro intestinal tract. | 11-05-2009 |
20100134606 | DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCED DATA TRANSMISSION - A device, system and method may enable the obtaining of in vivo images from within body lumens or cavities, such as images the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where the data such as image data is typically transmitted or otherwise sent to a receiving system in compressed or diluted form. The image may be reconstructed and for example displayed to a user. | 06-03-2010 |
20100166272 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DETECT A TRANSITION IN AN IMAGE STREAM - A system and method may detect a transition in an image stream captured within a body lumen. One or more parameters may be computed at points corresponding to a time scale of the image stream. Transition in the values of the parameters may be identified and may indicate a location along the body lumen. The image stream may be segmented at the transition points identified. | 07-01-2010 |
20120271104 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION OF AN IN VIVO DEVICE - A method and device may control energy consumption of in an in vivo imaging device by determining or estimating an amount of energy needed to capture images at a frame rate until a complete passage of the device through a predetermined region of the gastrointestinal tract, and alter or limit the frame capture rate accordingly. | 10-25-2012 |
20120275683 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING COLORIMETRIC ABNORMALITIES IN VIVO - A system and method for detection of colorimetric abnormalities within a body lumen includes an image receiver for receiving images from within the body lumen. Also included are a transmitter for transmitting the images to a receiver, and a processor for generating a probability indication of presence of colorimetric abnormalities on comparison of color content of the images and at least one reference value. | 11-01-2012 |
20140039287 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING COLORIMETRIC ABNORMALITIES IN VIVO - A system and method for detection of calorimetric abnormalities within a body lumen includes an image receiver for receiving images from within the body lumen. Also included are a transmitter for transmitting the images to a receiver, and a processor for generating a probability indication of presence of colorimetric abnormalities on comparison of color content of the images and at least one reference value. | 02-06-2014 |
20150073213 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION OF AN IN VIVO DEVICE - A method and device may control energy consumption of in an in vivo imaging device by determining or estimating an amount of energy needed to capture images at a frame rate until a complete passage of the device through a predetermined region of the gastrointestinal tract, and alter or limit the frame capture rate accordingly. | 03-12-2015 |
