Patent AU-2014219055-A1 (AU)
Title: Endoscope with pupil expander
Inventor: ZOBEL JURGEN
IPC: A61B1/05
Filed: 2014-02-19
Abstract: Disclosed are stereo endoscopes where the optical train of one optical system is separated in a left and right optical train. The separation in a left and right optical train is achieved by splitting the entrance pupil in a left and right pupil half. To additionally achieve a significant stereoscopic disparity the distance between the left and right pupil half is expanded. The separation of the entrance pupil and the expansion of the left and right pupil half is achieved by a distally located prism block. This prism block consists of a pair of rhomboidal prisms which are located exactly at the entrance pupil inside the endoscope objective. The front lens group is replaced by an identical pair of front lens groups each assembled in front of one of the two rhomboidal prisms. Such stereo endoscopes with expanded pupil halves enable to build stereo endoscopes with very small diameter or stereo endoscopes for special surgical applications. The described stereo endoscopes also include video endoscopes where the aperture functioning as the entrance pupil is separated in two halves and expanded for better stereoscopic effect. The prism block of the disclosed stereo endoscopes can also be used to separate the exit pupil of the disclosed stereo endoscopes and expand the optical axes on the proximal side to adapt to different stereo endoscopic cameras.

Title: Systems and methods for spectral unmixing of microscopic images using pixel grouping
Inventor: CHUKKA SRINIVAS
IPC: G06V10/762
Filed: 2014-12-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for speeding up a spectral unmixing process by using pixel groups are disclosed. Operations including forming groups of similar pixels, and unmixing only one representative pixel from each pixel group enable determination of an unmixing result for all the pixels in the group. A similarity metric may be based on a dot product of an unprocessed pixel with the representative pixel in the subset of pixels. The method is repeated for any number of remaining unmatched pixels that exceed a threshold, until the number of remaining or unmatched pixels is smaller than the threshold, upon which the remaining pixels may be individually unmixed. Significantly fewer unmixing operations are performed on an image, thereby speeding up the unmixing process.
