A system and method for imaging underbodies of moving vehicles have a stationary source of radiation to radiate energy upwardly on underbodies of moving vehicles. A stationary video camera adjacent the radiation source on a roadway has an upwardly facing field of view for creating image signals representative of sequential portions of each underbody as each moving vehicle passes overhead. A control station activates the camera and radiation source to create the image signals and creates mosaic signals of all of each underbody from the image signals. A display screen provides a mosaic image of each underbody from its mosaic signals. A virtually real-time inspection or a comparison can be made with previously taken underbody images of the same moving vehicle or with vehicle manufacturers' data for the same vehicular models. Moving cars, trucks, marine vessels, aircraft, can be quickly imaged for inspection and / or comparison by fewer security personnel.

A real time financial instrument image exchange system and method deliver a digital image of a financial instrument (for example, a bank check) very quickly through an image exchange network to a payor institution by promptly forwarding the digital image when it is created at a depositing institution. This may expedite pay or return decisions to be made by payor institutions, which may enable banks to truncate checks, to reduce fraud and its costs, and to facilitate compliance with banking regulations. Such image capture, as well as related data capture, and real-time transfer enable emulation to an item processing system of the payor institution whereby the payor's item processing system processes the image and data as if it did the original capture actually performed at the depositing institution.

A method for imaging a body, including scanning the body so as to generate a tomographic image thereof, and analyzing the tomographic image to determine a location of a region of interest (ROI) within the body. The method includes providing single photon counting detector modules, each of the modules being configured to receive photons from a respective direction and to generate a signal in response thereto. The method further includes coupling each of the modules to a respective adjustable mount, adjusting each of the adjustable mounts so that the direction of the module coupled thereto is aligned with respect to the location so as to receive radiation from the ROI, operating each of the modules to receive the photons from the ROI, and, in response to the signal generated by each of the modules, generating a single photon counting image of the ROI.

A method for scene classification of a digital image includes extracting pre-determined camera metadata tags from the digital image. The method also includes obtaining estimates of image class based on the extracted metadata tags. In addition, the method includes obtaining estimates of image class based on image and producing a final estimate of image class based on a combination of metadata-based estimates and image content-based estimates.

A method of processing medical imaging volume data in a computer network is described. The method comprises loading a medical imaging data set to be processed to a server computer, processing the data set on the server computer, e.g. by executing a software application, and generating corresponding server-generated results. The server-generated results, e.g. rendered images, may then be transmitted to a client computer for display to a user. This allows users to quickly view the results of the processing because they have not had to wait for the data set to be transferred to their local machine before locally processing the data. However, while this is happening, the data set itself is also transmitted, e.g. as a background operation, to the client computer. Thus eventually the client computer has access to a local copy of the data set and may start processing the data set itself, thus freeing up server resources.

A method and a system for scaling a digital source image consisting of a grid of X by Y pixels into a target image of a different resolution comprises the steps of / tools for:mapping the source pixels onto the target pixels;scaling the source image in the X or Y direction to produce intermediate pixels that are scaled in one direction by determining contributions to each intermediate pixel using a digital filter and accumulating the contributions for each intermediate pixel, wherein each source pixel contributes to one or more intermediate pixels and each intermediate pixel receives contributions from one or more source pixels; and subsequentlyscaling the intermediate pixels in the other direction by determining the contributions to each target pixel using the filter and accumulating the contributions for each target pixel;wherein each intermediate pixel contributes to one or more target pixels and each target pixel receives contributions from one or more intermediate pixels.The method is preferably carried out on a PE array in an SIMD (Simple Instruction Multiple Data) device.

A mobile, wireless biometric identification system includes a biometric capture device, associated software and processes which enable a commercially available wireless communication device, such as a smartphone, using a commercially established wireless communication networks, to capture a digital image of a human biometric (iris, fingerprint, etc.) for transmission via a secure connection to a central server. The capture device is designed to focus on the difficult task of capturing the highest possible quality image for encoding and comparison, while the overall system is designed to leverage the existing cellular communication network. At the server level, the server system receives the image, encodes the image to a biometric template, and compares the encoded template to a plurality of reference templates stored in a database to identify the individual. Identification data is then transmitted back to the smartphone device and displayed.

The invention discloses a high-speed multicolor and multimode structured light illumination super-resolution microimaging system. Laser generated by a multicolor light source is incident into a high-speed gating switching module; the high-speed gating switching module selects the laser in one or multiple colors and enables the laser to irradiate a structured light generation and modulation module; the structured light generation and modulation module generates periodically modulated structured light and controls the direction and the phase of the structured light; the modulated laser is transmitted to a polarization control module; the polarization control module adjusts the polarization direction of the laser, so that the structured light illumination stripe is high in contrast, and the laser is transmitted to a space filter module; the space filter module filters out redundant stray light, and then emits the laser to a sample module through a fluorescence module and an objective lens in sequence; signal light emitted by the sample module is collected by the objective lens, and then the fluorescence module separates exciting light from the signal light; finally the signal light is received by a detection module. The system is high in structured light illumination stripe contrast and high in imaging speed, and meanwhile at least 5-color imaging can achieve the optimal performance.
