System and method to simultaneously track multiple organisms at high resolution - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230045152 titled 'System and method to simultaneously track multiple organisms at high resolution
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a microscopy system that uses multiple cameras to capture image data of a sample with organisms distributed over a wide area. The image data is processed by a first processor for each camera and then aggregated and streamed to a second processor for tracking the organisms. The use of multiple cameras with overlapping images allows for 3D tracking of the organisms through photogrammetry.
- Multiple cameras are used to capture image data of a sample with organisms distributed over a wide area.
- Each camera's image data is processed by a first processor.
- The processed image data from all cameras is aggregated and streamed to a second processor.
- The second processor is responsible for tracking the organisms.
- The use of multiple cameras with overlapping images enables 3D tracking of the organisms through photogrammetry.
Potential Applications
- Biological research and analysis
- Medical diagnostics and pathology
- Environmental monitoring and analysis
- Industrial quality control and inspection
Problems Solved
- Enables tracking and analysis of organisms distributed over a wide area
- Provides 3D tracking capability through the use of multiple cameras and photogrammetry
- Improves accuracy and efficiency of microscopy imaging and analysis
Benefits
- Enhanced understanding of biological processes and behaviors
- Improved accuracy and efficiency in tracking and analyzing organisms
- Enables non-invasive and real-time monitoring of organisms in their natural environment
- Provides valuable insights for various fields including biology, medicine, and environmental science
Original Abstract Submitted
a microscopy includes multiple cameras working together to capture image data of a sample having a group of organisms distributed over a wide area, under the influence of an excitation instrument. a first processor is coupled to each camera to process the image data captured by the camera. outputs from the multiple first processors are aggregated and streamed serially to a second processor for tracking the organisms. the presence of the multiple cameras capturing images from the sample, configured with 50% or more overlap, can allow 3d tracking of the organisms through photogrammetry.
