Method for assessing image focus quality

A method for determining the quality of focus of a digital image of a biological specimen includes obtaining a digital image of a specimen using a specimen imaging apparatus. A measure of image texture is calculated at two different scales, and the measurements are compared to determine how much high-resolution data the image contains compared to low-resolution data. The texture measurement may, for example, be a Brenner auto-focus score calculated from the means of adjacent pairs of pixels for the high-resolution measurement and from the means of adjacent triples of pixels for the low-resolution measurement. A score indicative of the quality of focus is then established based on a function of the low-resolution and high-resolution measurements. This score may be used by an automated imaging device to verify that image quality is acceptable. The device may adjust the focus and acquire new images to replace any that are deemed unacceptable.

Rendering method and apparatus

The present invention is directed to a real-time controllable reflection mapping function which covers all stereoscopic directions of space. More specifically, the surface of a mirrored object is segmented into a plurality of polygonal elements (for example, triangles). Then, a polyhedron, which includes a predetermined point (for example, the center of the mirrored object) in a three-dimensional space (for example, a cube) in the interior thereof, is generated and a rendering process is performed for each surface of the polyhedron with the predetermined point as a view point. The rendered image is stored. Thereafter, a reflection vector is calculated between each vertex of the polygonal elements and a view point used when the entire three-dimensional space is rendered. Next, the surface of the polyhedron, in which an intersecting point between the reflection vector with the predetermined point as a start point and the polyhedron exists, is obtained. The coordinate in the image, which corresponds to each vertex of the polygonal elements, is calculated by using the surface where the intersecting point exists and the reflection vector. The image is texture-mapped onto the surface of the object by using the coordinate in the image which corresponds to each vertex of the polygonal elements. Finally, the result of the texture mapping is displayed.

Block-based fragment filtration with feasible multi-GPU acceleration for real-time volume rendering on conventional personal computer

A computer-based method and system for interactive volume rendering of a large volume data on a conventional personal computer using hardware-accelerated block filtration optimizing uses 3D-textured axis-aligned slices and block filtration. Fragment processing in a rendering pipeline is lessened by passing fragments to various processors selectively in blocks of voxels based on a filtering process operative on slices. The process involves generating a corresponding image texture and performing two-pass rendering, namely a virtual rendering pass and a main rendering pass. Block filtration is divided into static block filtration and dynamic block filtration. The static block filtration locates any view-independent unused signal being passed to a rasterization pipeline. The dynamic block filtration determines any view-dependent unused block generated due to occlusion. Block filtration processes utilize the vertex shader and pixel shader of a GPU in conventional personal computer graphics hardware. The method is for multi-thread, multi-GPU operation.

The invention relates to a three-dimensional facial reconstruction method, which can automatically reconstruct a three-dimensional facial model from a single front face image and puts forward two schemes. The first scheme is as follows: a deformable face model is generated off line; Adaboost is utilized to automatically detect face positions in the inputted image; an active appearance model is utilized to automatically locate key points on the face in the inputted image; based on the shape components of the deformable face model and the key points of the face on the image, the geometry of a three-dimensional face is reconstructed; with a shape-free texture as a target image, the texture components of the deformable face model are utilized to fit face textures, so that a whole face texture is obtained; and after texture mapping, a reconstructed result is obtained. The second scheme has the following differences from the first scheme: after the geometry of the three-dimensional face is reconstructed, face texture fitting is not carried out, but the inputted image is directly used as a texture image as a reconstructed result. The first scheme is applicable to fields such as film and television making and three-dimensional face recognition, and the reconstruction speed of the second scheme is high.
