Title: Handle for endoscopic device
Inventor: NOBIS RUDOLPH
IPC: A61B1/005
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: An endoscopic accessory medical device is provided. The device can include a
handle, a flexible shaft, and an end effector. The handle can include an actuator for
operating the end effector through a wire or cable pulling member that extends
through the flexible shaft. The handle and actuator can be operable with a single
hand, such that the operation of the end effector can be accomplished with the same
hand that is used to hold the handle and advance the end effector through an
endoscope. The handle can include an actuation mechanism that is decoupled from
operation of the end effector when the actuator is in a first open position, which
becomes operatively coupled to the end effector when the actuator is moved to a
second position, such as by squeezing the actuator, and which operates the end
effector when the actuator is moved further to a third position.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un système pour filtrer de manière anisotropique, symétrique et circulaire, une empreinte elliptique ou rectangulaire dans un gauchissement d'image numérique monopasse. Le filtrage est effectué en cherchant puis en ajustant une ellipse constituant une approximation d'une fonction de mise à l'échelle d'image non uniforme en position mappée d'un pixel de sortie de l'espace d'image d'entrée. Une transformation linéaire de cette ellipse en cercle unitaire de l'espace d'image de sortie est déterminée pour calculer les rayons de pixel d'entrée à l'intérieur de l'empreinte et le coefficient de filtre correspondant, en tant que fonction du rayon. La forme de l'empreinte est déterminée par un compromis effectué entre la qualité de l'image et la vitesse du traitement. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, des profils de composants de lissage et de gauchissement sont combinés pour produire une image de sortie améliorée plus nette ou présentant plus de détails. La méthode et le système de l'invention produisent une image de sortie naturelle, sans artefact irrégulier, tout en maintenant et en augmentant la netteté de l'image d'entrée.
