Latest Patents
Hasslmeyer’s latest patents include a "Device and method for optimizing determining recording regions." This invention provides a device that establishes one or several recording regions from an image region. It features a neighborhood determining unit that assesses whether two objects in the image region are neighboring. Additionally, it includes a graph set determining unit that identifies a graph set comprising complete graphs, where each element is neighboring to every other element. The device also has a selection set determining unit that adds a complete graph to the selection set based on specific criteria. Finally, it incorporates a recording region determining unit that establishes the recording regions based on the complete graphs.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for segmenting biological cells in a picture." This method segments biological cells to represent the foreground of a picture. It involves applying a first fast marching algorithm to obtain a first fast marching image, followed by segmenting this image into homogeneous regions. Each region is then mapped to a node of a graph, and classified as either background or foreground. The method further applies a second fast marching algorithm within the foreground regions to segment them into individual biological cells.
