Disclosed is a method, system and program for creating an annotation resource and feature-level metadata for images. Annotation resource is a collection of feature-specific domain objects. A domain object contains geometry of the feature and plurality of attributes. Geometry of feature is created by graphically annotating with freeform drawing tools on a transparent layer placed on top of the image. Attribute values may be computed automatically, manually entered or hyperlinked to a resource. The annotation resource will be stored in a database separate from the image, and cataloged in a metadata repository. This will allow users to perform search based on feature-level attributes to retrieve and display the annotation resource with the associated image.
A system for creating annotation resources, for an image, comprising:
A method for searching, retrieving and graphically rendering the said annotation resources, comprising:
A method for tracking features and their attributes, in a sequence of two-dimensional images that are generated by taking an image over a period of time or generated by taking parallel slices of a three-dimensional image, and storing the tracking data in the domain objects of annotation resources, comprising:
