Abstract: A method for processing an augmented reality (AR) image includes: obtaining an AR workspace image of an AR workspace that includes a document in a first region of the AR workspace and an AR output projection in a second region of the AR workspace; obtaining an internal representation of the AR output projection; masking the AR workspace image of the AR workspace with the internal representation to eliminate the AR output projection in the AR workspace image; and generating, in response to masking the AR workspace image of the AR workspace, a clean version of the AR workspace image in which the AR output projection is eliminated.

Abstract: A wound assessment method which can estimate a moisture level of the wound, and related image capture device. The wound area is imaged at least twice where the wound is illuminated under different illumination light intensities. The first image captured using a relatively low illumination light intensity is analyzed to assess the wound, for example measuring its size, color and texture. The second image captures using a relatively high illumination light intensity (e.g. using a flash) is analyzed to estimate the moisture level of the wound. The moisture level estimation method extracts white connected components from the second image, and estimates the moisture level based on the number, sizes, and centroid distribution of the white connected components. A 3D image of the wound may also be captured, e.g. using a structured-light 3D scanner of the image capture device.

Abstract: A video surveillance system with real-time object re-identification capabilities, which employs an object re-identification algorithm and an edge computing architecture. An operator monitors video images from the multiple cameras, and when a target object is observed, a target image containing the object is transmitted to all video cameras for object re-identification. Each video camera has dedicated processing circuitry that performs an object re-identification algorithm to identify the target in video images captured by that camera in real time. The algorithm calculates a frequency domain similarity measure between the target image and test images captured by the camera. The similarity measure in the frequency domain is calculated as a dot product of the 1D discrete Fourier transforms of the target image data and of the test image data. The multiple cameras also transmit object re-identification results to each other to achieve more efficient and intelligent object re-identification.

Abstract: In an intelligent character recognition (ICR) method for recognizing hand-written text images using a long-short term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN), text images are segmented into text line images, and the text lines images are pre-processed to normalize the line height and to equalize the word spacings in each text line. Both training images used to train the RNN network and test images containing text to be recognized by the trained RNN network are pre-processed to have identical heights and identical word spacings between words. This method improves character recognition accuracy.

Abstract: A biosensor using a decoupled microfluidic device, which has a capture chamber and a detection chamber separate from and in fluid communication with each other. The sensing method is based on particle aggregation via homogeneous reactions, by employing microparticles having antibodies on their surfaces which can form aggregates through antigen mediation. Either size-separation or magnetic based separation is used to separate aggregates from single microparticles; the aggregates are later dissociated and the resulting single microparticles are counted to measure the amount of the antigen. Another biosensor uses a decoupled microfluidic device with a capture chamber and a detection chamber, and a 3-D structure in the capture camber to increase immobilized antibody concentration. Immunoreaction efficiency is improved by increasing the number of antibody per reaction volume in the capture chamber.
