A method for processing images acquired by image detectors with non-uniform transfer functions and irregular spatial locations includes the steps of accumulating data from multiple images, defining an affinity graph which edges define pairs of detectors that measure related signal, performing statistical analysis on the accumulated data with respect to each pair of detectors, and solving a system of equations constructed from the results of the statistical analysis to estimate each detector transfer function, a set of solutions to the system of equations comprising a calibration of an imaging system.

Method for processing images using object signals to estimate transfer functions of optical fibers

A method to process an image acquired through an optical-fiber guide includes acquiring a first reference image through the optical-fiber guide, acquiring a second calibration image through the optical-fiber guide, spatially identifying each fiber of the optical-fiber guide of the second calibration image in a first detection map, acquiring a recalibration image through the optical-fiber guide, determining a geometrical transformation to make the recalibration image coincide with the first reference image, deriving a new detection map spatially identifying each fiber of the optical-fiber guide of the recalibration image, wherein the new detection map is derived using the geometrical transformation and the first detection map, and individually processing zones of an acquired image corresponding to each fiber of the optical-fiber guide using the new detection map.

Image processing method and apparatus

A method for processing images acquired in real time through a medical device, said images being loaded into a buffer, comprising the steps of: stopping the loading of the images into the buffer, processing loaded images using an incremental algorithm, displaying successively intermediate results of the processing, resuming the loading and stopping the processing based on an evaluation of said intermediate results.
