Two system-level bronchoscopy guidance solutions are presented. The first incorporates a global-registration algorithm to provide the physician with updated navigational and guidance information during bronchoscopy. The system can handle general navigation to a region of interest (ROI), as well as adverse events, and it requires minimal commands so that it can be directly controlled by the physician. The second solution visualizes the global picture of all the bifurcations and their relative orientations in advance and suggests the maneuvers needed by the bronchoscope to approach the ROI. Guided bronchoscopy results using human airway-tree phantoms demonstrate the potential of the two solutions.

The invention discloses a method and a system for determining binocular scene flow based on semantic segmentation. Firstly, the scene in binocular image is semantically segmented, and the semantic optical flow is calculated by adding semantic segmentation label information, then the disparity information is calculated by semi-global matching algorithm, and then the motion parameters of countless facet regions are calculated and optimized by combining the semantic optical flow and disparity information fitting. In the process of optimization, the initial scene flow is obtained by superpixel segmentation, and then the motion of the superpixel blocks in the semantic tag is optimized, so the motion of the superpixel blocks in the semantic tag is consistent and the edge information of the moving object is protected well. Semantic information is added into the optical flow information, so that the edge of the object is protected, and the reasoning process of the occlusion problem is greatlysimplified. In addition, the motion inference at the semantic tag level makes the scene flow of pixels on the surface of the same moving object approximately consistent, and ultimately the goal of optimizing the scene flow is achieved.

A computer-implemented depth estimation method based on non-parametric Census transform with adaptive window patterns and semi-global optimization. A modified cross-based cost aggregation technique adaptively creates the shape of the cross for each pixel distinctly. In addition, a depth refinement algorithm fills holes within the estimated depth map using the surrounding background depth pixels and sharpens the object boundaries by exerting a trilateral filter to the generated depth map. The trilateral filter uses the curvature of pixels as well as texture and depth information to sharpen the edges.

A method for generating a block-based image histogram from data compressed by JPEG, MPEG-1, and MPEG-2, or uncompressed image data employing block-based linear quantization to generate histograms that include color, brightness, and edge components. The edge histogram, in particular, includes the global edge features, semi-global edge features, and local edge features. The global edge histogram is based on image blocks of the entire image space. The local edge histogram is based on a group of edge blocks. The semi-global edge histogram is based on the horizontally and the vertically grouped image blocks. A method for generating block-based image histogram with color information and brightness information of image data in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention extracts feature information of an image in terms of the block and updates global histogram bins on the basis of the feature information. The method for generating block-based image histogram with color information and brightness information of image data minimizes quantization error by employing linear weight and updates values of histogram bins. The error that occurs at a boundary between bins of the histograms and the linear weight depends on the distance between the histogram bins.

To improve the performance for determining obstruction of a stereoscopic system using two cameras or more, a hybrid of local and semi-global methods is provided. For each stereoscopic image formed from simultaneous left and right images, a breakdown of each left and right image into corresponding sectors is applied. Obstruction level is determined by a disparity map by sector, based on left or right images, and in which a disparity is assigned to each pixel corresponding to the best matching score. A determination of density by sector of the disparity map is carried out by reference to a fraction of pixels with a disparity considered to be valid. A state of obstruction of at least one camera is determined based on a weighted average of the probabilities of obscuring of the sectors of the disparity map obtained by comparison between the density of the sectors and a predefined density level.
