Title: Mr imaging with t1 compensated b1 mapping
Inventor: NEHRKE KAY
IPC: G01R33/24
Filed: 2021-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of MR imaging. It is an object of the invention to provide an improved B 1  mapping method that is less affected by T 1  relaxation. The invention proposes that a first stimulated echo imaging sequence (25) is generated comprising at least two preparation RF pulses (α) radiated during a first preparation period (21) and a sequence of reading RF pulses (β) radiated during a first acquisition period (22) temporally subsequent to the first preparation period (21). A first set of FID signals (I FID ) and a first set of stimulated echo signals (I STE ) are acquired during the first acquisition period (22). A second stimulated echo imaging sequence (27) is generated comprising again at least two preparation RF pulses (α) radiated during a second preparation period (21) and a sequence of reading RF pulses (β) radiated during a second acquisition period (22) temporally subsequent to the second preparation period (21). A second set of FID signals (I FID ) and a second set of stimulated echo signals (I STE ) are acquired during the second acquisition period (22). The first and second sets of FID signals (IFID) have different T 1 - weightings and/or the first and second sets of stimulated echo signals (I STE ) have different T 1 - weightings. A B 1  map indicating the spatial distribution of the RF field of the RF pulses is derived from the acquired first and second sets of FID (I FID ) and stimulated echo (I STE ) signals, wherein the different T 1 -weightings are made use of to compensate for influences on the B 1  map caused by T 1  relaxation. Preferably, either the first or the second preparation period (21) is preceded by an RF inversion pulse to obtain the different T1-weightings. Moreover, the invention relates to an MR device (1) and to a computer program for an MR device (1).

Title: Generating ground truth datasets for virtual reality experiences
Inventor: ZHOU KAI
IPC: G06T7/70
Filed: 2021-06-09
Abstract: Systems and methods of generating ground truth datasets for producing virtual reality (VR) experiences, for testing simulated sensor configurations, and for training machine-learning algorithms. In one example, a recording device with one or more cameras and one or more inertial measurement units captures images and motion data along a real path through a physical environment. A SLAM application uses the captured data to calculate the trajectory of the recording device. A polynomial interpolation module uses Chebyshev polynomials to generate a continuous time trajectory (CTT) function. The method includes identifying a virtual environment and assembling a simulated sensor configuration, such as a VR headset. Using the CTT function, the method includes generating a ground truth output dataset that represents the simulated sensor configuration in motion along a virtual path through the virtual environment. The virtual path is closely correlated with the motion along the real path as captured by the recording device. Accordingly, the output dataset produces a realistic and life-like VR experience. In addition, the methods described can be used to generate multiple output datasets, at various sample rates, which are useful for training the machine-learning algorithms which are part of many VR systems.
