Abstract
A method for generating visual enhancement of areas of interest in images includes receiving data representing a plurality of images in a sequence of images; analyzing the plurality images to identify respective three dimensional (3D) locations of one or more areas of interest in the plurality of images; visually enhancing the one or more of the identified areas of interest in the plurality of the images in the sequence of images; and communicating the visually enhanced image data to a display device to be displayed.
Claims17
A system for generating visual enhancement of one or more areas of interest in a plurality of images of a sequence of images, the system comprising:
- an image area of interest unit configured to receive area of interest data identifying an area of interest and a three dimensional (3D) location in one of the plurality of images;
- an image analysis unit configured to analyze the plurality of images to identify respective 3D locations of the one or more areas of interest in other ones of the plurality of images different than the one of the plurality of images,
- wherein the image analysis unit is configured to identify Z coordinates of the respective 3D locations of the identified area of interest in the other ones of the plurality of images by identifying changes in the size of the one or more areas of interest moving in a direction perpendicular to the plurality of images;
- and
- an image enhancement unit configured to visually enhance the one or more of the identified areas of interest of the plurality of the images in the sequence of images.
A method of generating visual enhancement of one or more areas of interest in a plurality of images of a sequence of images, the method comprising:
- receiving area of interest data identifying an area of interest and a three dimensional (3D) location in one of the plurality of images;
- analyzing the plurality of images to identify respective 3D locations of the one or more areas of interest in other ones of the plurality of images different than the one of the plurality of images;
- visually enhancing the one or more of the identified areas of interest of the plurality of the images in the sequence of images;
- and
- identifying Z coordinates of the respective 3D locations of the identified area of interest in the other ones of the plurality of images by identifying changes in the size of the one or more areas of interest moving in a direction perpendicular to the plurality of images.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program to generate visual enhancement of one or more areas of interest in a plurality of images of a sequence of images, the computer program comprising executable instructions that cause a computer to:
- receive area of interest data identifying an area of interest and a three dimensional (3D) location in one of the plurality of images;
- analyze the plurality of images to identify respective 3D locations of the one or more areas of interest in other ones of the plurality of images different than the one of the plurality of images;
- visually enhance the one or more of the identified areas of interest of the plurality of the images in the sequence of images;
- and
- identify Z coordinates of the respective 3D locations of the identified area of interest in the other ones of the plurality of images by identifying changes in the size of the one or more areas of interest moving in a direction perpendicular to the plurality of images.
