Sandia Image Labeling Tool (SILT)

SAND2025-01840O Sandia Image Labeling Tool (SILT) is a Python tool that labels images for machine learning and other applications. SILT uploads JSON files to create a template for labeling an image. SILT can then upload images, including images that are tens of GB large and dynamically loads them in a manner that a user, with a very modest spec laptop, can handle. It then saves the label as a JSON using the template. Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.

Noncircular aperture imaging system

Various technologies pertaining to an imaging system with a noncircular aperture are described herein. An imaging objective with a noncircular aperture and an anamorphic lens is used to capture a plurality of image frames of a scene. Each image frame is captured at a different rotational orientation of the imaging objective with respect to the scene. Each image frame has a non-uniform spatial resolution. A composite image of the scene is generated based upon the image frames. The composite image comprises a first region that has a spatial resolution that is approximately the same as a spatial resolution of an image generated using a circular objective with a diameter equal to the largest dimension of the noncircular aperture, and a second region with a lower spatial resolution.

Image registration via optimization over disjoint image regions

Technologies pertaining to registering a target image with a base image are described. In a general embodiment, the base image is selected from a set of images, and the target image is an image in the set of images that is to be registered to the base image. A set of disjoint regions of the target image is selected, and a transform to be applied to the target image is computed based on the optimization of a metric over the selected set of disjoint regions. The transform is applied to the target image so as to register the target image with the base image.
