| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8002194 | Smart information carrier and production process therfor Disclosed is a smart information carrier containing a security element laminated with a transparent polymer foil having a melting point higher than 150° C. and the security element is surrounded by an edge at least 1 mm wide in which the transparent polymer foil on... | 08/23/2011 |
| 7796839 | Method of detecting the orientation of an object in an image A method of detecting the orientation of a radiographic image represented by a digital signal representation wherein mathematical moments of the digital signal representation are calculated relative to different reference entities and wherein a decision on the orien... | 09/14/2010 |
| 7796792 | Method of identifying disturbing frequencies originating from the presence of an anti-scatter grid during acquisition of a radiation image A method of determining disturbing signal frequencies in a signal representation of radiation image originating from the presence of an anti-scatter grid during image acquisition, the signal representation being generated by an image read out and digitizing process,... | 09/14/2010 |
| 7479969 | Grid detection method Method of detecting an image of a grid in a digital image by extracting a number of features from the digital image and classifying extracted features in a classification algorithm, preferably implemented with support vector machines, which is trained with the same ... | 01/20/2009 |
| 7362915 | Method for enhancing the contrast of an image The contrast of an image is enhanced by converting pixels of detail images of a multi-scale digital representation of the image according to a conversion function. The conversion function is monotonically increasing and odd and provides maximum amplification within ... | 04/22/2008 |
| 7323706 | Method of associating meta-data relating to a radiation image of an object with the radiation image A first time stamp T1 indicative of the time of irradiation of an object and a second time stamp T2 indicative of the time of exposure of an image detector by the radiation image of the object, are generated. Meta-data relating to the object are associ... | 01/29/2008 |
| 7321674 | Method of normalising a digital signal representation of an image A digital signal representation of an image is normalized by applying a normalization parameter to all pixels of the digital signal representation of the image or to the pixels of a multi-scale representation of the image. The normalization parameter can be derived ... | 01/22/2008 |
| 7247858 | Method for creating a contiguous image using multiple X-ray imagers A radiographic image is obtained by combining at least two radiographic sub-images acquired by at least an upper and lower 2-dimensional radiation sensor having sensor pixels. The radiation sensitive area of the lower sensor is overlapped by the upper sensor. Overla... | 07/24/2007 |
