Biopsy method for use in human face identification

The invention provides a biopsy method for use in human face identification and belongs to the technical field of mode identification. The algorithm provided by the invention comprises: firstly, giving a 'please-face-the-camera-with-face' prompt to a user logging in regardless of the current posture of the user, finding the face and eye socket areas by using an Adaboost human face sorter during the posture correction of the user, determining upper and low eyelids and left and right eye corners by using differential projection and precisely framing the positions of the eye sockets; secondly, computing optical flow field of two adjacent frames in an input video sequence by using an LK algorithm; and thirdly, further processing obtained optical flow data to obtain an optical flow amplitude, acquiring the number of the pixels with high amplitude, computing the specific gravity of the pixels with high amplitude, and determining eye movement if the proportion is big. Experiments show that for a real human face, eye movement can be detected easily due to a heavy optical flow generated on the eyes in a posture correction and eye twinkling process, while for a picture, eyes only perform a micro movement no matter how the picture moves or translations. When the method is used for biopsy, a better effect can be obtained.

Biopsy method and device

This invention relates to a method of performing accurate biopsies, particularly core breast biopsies, and a device for facilitating the accuracy of the taking of biopsies. The device involves the provision of guiding members or wing-type projections on at least two sides of the barrel of a biopsy gun. Each guiding member is parallel to the axis of a biopsy needle attached to the gun and there are at least two guiding members projecting from the barrel of the gun substantially perpendicular to one another. Each guiding member is preferably in line with the needle, so that in use the biopsy needle is in the plane of each guiding member. The device may be in the form of a biopsy gun with the guiding members integrally formed or affixed, or it may be in the form of an attachment for attaching to a conventional biopsy gun. The method of the invention involves a means of guiding a biopsy needle to a calculated site of a target lesion; identifying a location on the skin surface directly between the calculated site and a source of electromagnetic radiation, including a light source; positioning a biopsy needle tip at that location; monitoring shadows on the skin surface created by guiding members on a biopsy gun to which the biopsy needle is attached, each guiding member projecting from a side of the biopsy gun, in a parallel axis to the needle attached or held by the gun, and at least two of the guiding members substantially perpendicular to one another; and guiding the biopsy needle to the calculated site by minimizing the shadows so that the needle remains substantially parallel to the electromagnetic radiation beam.

The invention belongs to the field of adult stem cells and regenerative medicine, and relates to the techniques of adult stem cell extraction, external expansion and differentiation induction as well as stem cell transplantation. The techniques are based on the theory that head and facial masticatory muscles have the same origin with cardiac progenitor cells. As shown by the analysis on the genetic expression, cardiac muscle genes Nk*2.5 and Isl1 in the masticatory muscle stem cells have expressions of different degrees. The techniques utilize that the masticatory muscle stem cells have the characteristics of the cardiac muscle stem cells, collect a masticatory muscle sample by the non-invasive biopsy method, and externally expands the masticatory muscle stem cells by the suspension culture method; and non-coding micro RNA (ribonucleic acid) is adopted to change the masticatory muscle stem cells and facilitate differentiation and purification of the masticatory muscle stem cells into the heart muscle cells. The transplantation of the purified cardiac muscle cells to a part with myocardial infarction is performed by means of the coronary artery duct injection or the cell membrane technique (the cell membrane is placed on the surface of myocardial infarction organization), so that the myocardial infarction or the ischemic heart disease can be cured.
