Caliper to Present Key Findings on Applications of Multispectral Imaging and ...

Results demonstrate proof-of-concept for the application of Caliper's Vectra® multispectral imaging system and the inForm™ pattern recognition-based image analysis software to help automate challenging visual assessments in pathology. In the study, these technologies were utilized to count and determine the density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in ovarian cancer. The results generated by the digital pathology system were compared with those achieved through manual analysis, revealing that the semi-automated workflow showed a TIL score that correlated strongly with manual assessments, demonstrating that TIL assessments can be made practical for routine use. While this study was conducted using ovarian tumor samples, the automated workflow has applications in other cancer types, including melanoma and pancreatic.

"TIL counting has been shown to be prognostic and predictive of therapeutic response; however, it is not used today because it is too difficult to do visually or manually," said , President and CEO of Caliper. "This approach has immediate applications for cancer research and clinical trial design. Ultimately, this technology may be integrated into the clinical workflow by helping pathologists accurately and efficiently identify and measure specific biomarkers, which can be used to determine personalized treatment regimens for patients."

While researchers can utilize this workflow to study the tumor microenvironment and/or stratify patients in clinical trials, results also demonstrate that Caliper's multispectral imaging and pattern recognition technology can also provide pathologists with an enabling tool that augments their ability to evaluate tumors and nodal status beyond the standard, manual staging techniques.

ViPR Mobile Visual Search Engine for iPhone - Mac Rumors

The demo video shows how you can take a photo of a Book, DVD, or CD cover with the iPhone's photo application. That photo can then be emailed to the ViPR server which will perform pattern recognition and then email you back information about the product. In the video, they take a photo of the DVD cover for Finding Nemo and got returned a description, Youtube link, and iTunes Music store link. its kinda cool but i wonder how many people are going to go through all those hoops when it seems like a google search would be faster and more efficient.. not really seeing any real-world applications if it can only recognize mainstream media... cool idea though and if they were able to get alot of objects i would def use (think your travelling and see some crazy statue.. take picture and learn what its about) So why not do it in Java and provide it to all J2ME-capable phones? It sounds more like an AppleScript or Automator task than an actual app - the native part won't be doing anything more than is already done the manual, non-platform specific way. It might be using a WebKit POST rather than email, but it won't be detecting stuff itself; it will just be sending/receiving data. It could be done today via Safari really. Select image... Submit... "Here's your item". The technology seems pretty clever and cool, but announcing it for iPhone seems more like flag-waving bandwagon-hopping when you realize how little it depends on the phone. Even with just Safari (or Opera, or whatever browser your phone is burdened with), bookmark the results it finds and you're building yourself a library. Unless, as arn says, they develop it further, like Delicious Library. This app (and I have a hard time calling it that) clearly has to go back to a server to do the image recognition and item searching... After all the iPhone no matter what the storage size couldn't possibly hold **EVERYTHING** that this app is purportedly capable of identifying. Even if you kept it to just DVD items or books the iPhone would be busting at the seams if it tried to hold all of that info.
