The position of the visual identifier corresponds to the location coordinates received from the at least one other portable electronic device, which correspond to an actual location of the at least one other portable electronic device. The appearance of the visual identifier is selected to depict the status of the user of the at least one other portable electronic device. | 2011-03-24 |
20110069063 | CATHETER RF ABLATION USING SEGMENTATION-BASED 2D-3D REGISTRATION - A method for registering a two-dimensional image of a cardiocirculatory structure and a three-dimensional image of the cardiocirculatory structure includes acquiring a three-dimensional image including the cardiocirculatory structure using a first imaging modality. The acquired three-dimensional image is projected into two-dimensions to produce a two-dimensional projection image of the cardiocirculatory structure. A structure of interest is segmented either from the three-dimensional image prior to projection or from the projection image subsequent to projection. A two-dimensional image of the cardiocirculatory structure is acquired using a second imaging modality. The structure of interest is segmented from the acquired two-dimensional image. A first distance map is generated based on the two-dimensional projection image and a second distance map is generated based on the acquired two-dimensional image. A registration of the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image is performed by minimizing a difference between the first and second distance maps. | 2011-03-24 |
20110069064 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEPTH EXTRACTION OF IMAGES WITH FORWARD AND BACKWARD DEPTH PREDICTION - A system and method for spatiotemporal depth extraction of images with forward and backward depth prediction are provided. The system and method of the present disclosure provide for acquiring a plurality of frames, generating a first depth map of a current frame in the plurality of frames based on a depth map of a previous frame in the plurality of frames, generating a second depth map of the current frame in the plurality of frames based on a depth map of a subsequent frame in the plurality of frames, and processing the first depth map and the second depth map to produce a third depth map for the current frame. | 2011-03-24 |
20110069065 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM AND METHOD THEREOF - According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a processing unit, a tessellation processing unit and a tessellation data storage unit. The processing unit performs interpolation processing on vertex data of a vector image for each sprite. The tessellation processing unit is hardware to perform tessellation processing that generates primitives based on the vertex data from the processing unit. The tessellation data storage unit stores the primitives generated by the tessellation processing unit for each sprite. The processing unit generates a rendering function to render the vector image based on the stored primitives in the tessellation data storage unit, the stored primitives is generated by rendering processing prior to the present rendering processing. | 2011-03-24 |
