Various implementations of the invention provide techniques and supporting systems that facilitate real-time or near-real-time ultrasound tracking for the purpose of calculating changes in anatomical features during a medical procedure. More specifically, anatomical features within a patient undergoing a medical procedure are tracked by obtaining temporally-distinct three dimensional ultrasound images that include the feature of interest and obtaining a targeted subset of ultrasound images focused on the feature. Based on the targeted subset of ultrasound images, a displacement of the feature is determined and image parameters used to obtain the targeted subset of ultrasound images are adjusted based on the displacement. This results in a time-based sequence of three dimensional images and targeted ultrasound images of the feature that identify changes in the position, size, location, and/or shape of the feature.

The invention provides a method and a system for detecting illegal left-and-right steering of a vehicle at traffic intersection. The method comprises the following steps of: decoding monitoring video streaming in real time from the traffic intersection so as to obtain a video image; distinguishing vehicles passing through the traffic intersection and detecting the moving trails of the vehicles; and presetting at least one virtual position on a steering lane of the video image so as to judge that the vehicle has illegal steering when the steering is not allowed by a signal lamp at the traffic intersection and the moving trail of the vehicle passes through the virtual position.

Techniques for computing a globally consistent set of image feature correspondences across a wide range of viewpoints suitable for interactive walkthroughs and visualizations. The inventive approach takes advantage of the redundancy inherent in a dense set of images captured in a plane (or in higher dimensions, e.g., images captured in a volume, images captured over time, etc). The technique may detect features in a set of source images and track the features to neighboring images. When features track to the same position in the same image, they are flagged as potential correspondences. Among the potential correspondences, the technique selects the maximal set using a greedy graph-labeling algorithm (e.g., best-first order). Only correspondences that produce a globally consistent labeling are selected. After globalization is done, a set of features common to a group of images can be quickly found and used to warp and combine the images to produce an interpolated novel view of the environment.

A method and apparatus for providing realistic gun motion input to a video game. In one embodiment, a plastic enclosure houses a video camera, PCB, microcontroller processor, and many buttons for controlling various aspects of a video game. The processor examines images from the video camera using various feature tracking algorithms and determines the direction and magnitude of motion of the video camera, and hence the motion of plastic gun shaped enclosure in which the video camera is mounted, and that the game player is wielding. This motion data is translated into motion data that a video game running on a video game console can understand, and transmitted to the video game console. The end result is that a user pointing and moving the plastic gun will cause the in game character of the video game to move and point its gun in concert with the game player, thereby providing an intuitive and fun aiming mechanism for playing video games. The button presses that the game player initiates on the apparatus are also reported to the video game and also affect various actions therein.
