Title: Wei Li: Inventor in Medical Imaging and Visualization

Introduction

Wei Li is an inventor based in Princeton, New Jersey. His work includes methods for visualizing luggage in three dimensions and techniques for rendering volumes of medical or other image data. He is named on 16 patents.

Latest Patents

“Luggage Visualization and Virtual Unpacking” describes systems that create a visual representation of objects inside luggage and simulate unpacking them. The method segments a scanned 3D volume into labeled objects, assigns distinct colors to objects that appear adjacent in an image, and renders packed, moving, and unpacked items in a layered scene. GPU-based processing can identify objects that are not blocked and can be selected for virtual unpacking.

“Floating Volume-of-Interest in Multilayer Volume Ray Casting” presents a method for rendering a volume of interest from an original volume. It transforms the vertices of a mesh representing the region, determines sampling locations, applies inverse transformations, and uses the resulting information in ray casting to produce an image.

Career Highlights

Li’s listed company affiliations include Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. and Siemens Aktiengesellschaft. His patent work reflects an emphasis on visualization, image processing, and volume-rendering methods.

Collaborations

His named coworkers include Daphne Yu and Gianluca Paladini.

Conclusion

Wei Li’s patents highlight contributions to interactive 3D visualization and volume rendering, alongside professional affiliations with Siemens organizations.
