Abstract
Reception means receives examination data including a plurality of examination images. Association means associates an examination image similar to each sample image included in the layout with a sample image using a similarity between each sample image included in a layout and each of a plurality of examination images included in examination data. Display means displays the examination image associated with the sample image at an arrangement position where the sample image is arranged in the layout.
Claims10
An automatic layout apparatus, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to receive examination data including a plurality of examination images;
- a storage for storing layout information indicating a layout in which a size and an arrangement position of each of a plurality of sample images on a screen are set,
- wherein the plurality of sample images are different from the plurality of examination images, the plurality of sample images defining a plurality of standard sample images to be arranged in one of a plurality of layouts,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to associate the examination image with the sample image using a similarity between each of the plurality of sample images included in the layout and each of the plurality of examination images included in the examination data, wherein the examination images are associated with the sample images according to an optimal pattern, the similarity being calculated between pixels forming the sample image and pixels forming the examination image, and
- wherein the layout information is associated with the plurality of sample images and the association between the layout information and the plurality of sample images indicates how the associated plurality of examination images are to be displayed;
- and
- a display for displaying the examination image associated with the sample image at an arrangement position where the sample image associated with the examination image is arranged according to the layout information,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
- acquire the similarity between the examination image and the sample image for each of combinations of one of the sample images included in the layout and one of the examination images included in the examination data;
- and
- in association patterns in which the sample images in the layout and the examination images of the examination data are associated with each other so as to satisfy conditions in which the number of the examination image associated with each of the sample images is one or less and the number of the sample image associated with each of the examination images is one or less, the processing circuitry is further configured to specify the optimal pattern from the association patterns using total similarities of the association patterns, the total similarities being obtained based on all the similarities that are acquired for all combinations of the sample image and the examination image associated with each other in each of the association patterns, the optimal pattern having the highest total similarity.
