摘要： Disclosed are methods and apparatus for automatic optoelectronic detection and inspection of objects, based on capturing digital images of a two-dimensional field of view in which an object to be detected or inspected may be located, analyzing the images, and making and reporting decisions on the status of the object. Decisions are based on evidence obtained from a plurality of images for which the object is located in the field of view, generally corresponding to a plurality of viewing perspectives. Evidence that an object is located in the field of view is used for detection, and evidence that the object satisfies appropriate inspection criteria is used for inspection. Methods and apparatus are disclosed for capturing and analyzing images at high speed so that multiple viewing perspectives can be obtained for objects in continuous motion.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for rapidly refining a given approximate location of a pattern to produce a more accurate location. The invention employs a multi-dimensional space that includes translation, orientation, and scale. The invention can serve as a replacement for the fine resolution phase of any coarse-fine system for pattern location. Patterns and images are represented by a feature-based description that can be translated, rotated, and scaled to arbitrary precision much faster than digital image re-sampling, and without pixel grid quantization errors. Thus, accuracy is not limited by the ability of a grid to represent small changes in position, orientation, or size (or other degrees of freedom). The invention determines an accurate object pose from an approximate starting pose in a small, fixed number of increments that is independent of the number of dimensions of the space, and independent of the distance between the starting and final poses, provided that the starting pose is within the “capture range” of the true pose. Thus, accuracy need not be sacrificed to keep execution time acceptable for practical applications. Specifying locations in four or more dimensions will often result in better matches between the pattern and image than two-dimensional location systems, thereby improving accuracy. Accuracy is not degraded if some portion of the object is missing or occluded, or if unexpected extra features are present.
摘要翻译：提供了一种方法和装置，用于快速地精化图案的给定的近似位置以产生更准确的位置。本发明采用包括平移，取向和尺度的多维空间。本发明可以作为用于图案定位的任何粗细系统的精细分辨率相位的替代。模式和图像由基于特征的描述表示，其可以比数字图像重新采样更快地转换，旋转和缩放到任意精度，并且没有像素网格量化误差。因此，精度不受网格表示位置，方向或大小（或其他自由度）的小变化的能力的限制。本发明根据独立于空间的数量的小的固定数量的增量来确定来自近似起始姿态的准确的物体姿态，并且独立于起始和最终姿态之间的距离，只要起始姿势为在“拍摄范围”内的真实姿势。因此，不需要牺牲精度来保持实际应用可接受的执行时间。在四维或更多维度上指定位置通常会导致图形和图像之间比二维位置系统更好的匹配，从而提高准确性。如果对象的某些部分丢失或遮挡，或者如果出现意外的额外特征，则精度不会降低。

摘要： A system is provided for digitally processing a one-dimensional digital signal, including convolving the one-dimensional digital signal with a function that is the (n+1)th difference of an nth order discrete piecewise polynomial kernel so as to provide a second one-dimensional digital signal. Here, ‘n’ is at least 1, the polynomial kernel has a plurality of non-zero elements, the function has a plurality of non-zero elements and at least one zero element, and the function has fewer non-zero elements than the polynomial kernel has non-zero elements. Then, the second one-dimensional digital signal is discretely integrated n+1 times. Also, multi-dimensional signals are dimensionally separated and processed using a function for each dimension. In addition to providing parabolic kernels and approximate Gaussian kernels, the invention can provide many other filter shapes, thereby allowing unprecedented flexibility in matching filter specifications to particular signal processing applications, while also providing high computational efficiency.

摘要： A structure for receiving surgical instruments for performing a surgical procedure on a body includes a passage through which the surgical instruments are inserted into the body. The passage has a proximal end and a distal end. An expandable portion enables an increase in the cross-sectional area of the distal end of the passage. The expandable portion has a contracted condition in which the cross-sectional area of the distal end of the passage has a first cross-sectional area. The expandable portion has an expanded condition in which the distal end of the passage has a second cross-sectional area greater than the first cross-sectional area. The second cross-sectional area is greater than a cross-sectional area of the proximal end of the passage when the expandable portion is in the expanded condition. A retaining mechanism resists movement of the expandable portion from the expanded condition toward the contracted condition during the surgical procedure. The retaining mechanism is released at the conclusion of the surgical procedure to permit movement of the expandable portion from the expanded condition toward the contracted condition for removal of the structure.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and apparatus for automatic visual detection of events, for recording images of those events and retrieving them for display and human or automated analysis, and for sending synchronized signals to external equipment when events are detected. An event corresponds to a specific condition, among some time-varying conditions within the field of view of an imaging device, that can be detected by visual means based on capturing and analyzing digital images of a two-dimensional field of view in which the event may occur. Events may correspond to rare, short duration mechanical failures for which obtaining images for analysis is desirable. Events are detected by considering evidence obtained from an analysis of multiple images of the field of view, during which time moving mechanical components can be seen from multiple viewing perspectives.

摘要： Disclosed are systems and methods for configuring a vision detector, wherein a training image is obtained from a production line operating in continuous motion so as to provide conditions substantially identical to those that will apply during actual manufacturing and inspection of objects. A training image can be obtained without any need for a trigger signal, whether or not the vision detector might use such a signal for inspecting the objects. Further disclosed are systems and methods for testing a vision detector by selecting, storing, and displaying a limited number of images from a production run, where those images correspond to objects likely to represent incorrect decisions.
