Abstract
A system and method of efficiently and effectively triaging an image that may include one or more target entities are provided. A target entity to be searched for in the image is specified. The image, or at least a selected portion of the image, is then divided into a plurality of individual image chips each having a chip size based on the specified target entity. Each image chip is then successively displayed for a presentation time period.
Claims20
A method of conducting image triage of an image that may include one or more target entities, comprising the steps of:
- specifying a target entity to be searched for in the image;
- dividing the image into a plurality of individual image chips, each image chip having a chip size based on the specified target entity;
- and
- successively displaying each image chip for a presentation time period.
A system for conducting image triage of an image that may include one or more target entities, comprising:
- a display device operable to receive display commands and, in response thereto, to display an image;
- a user interface configured to receive input from a user and operable, in response to the input from the user, to at least supply user interface signals representative of a target entity to be searched for;
- a processor coupled to the display device and the user interface, the processor configured to:
- selectively retrieve an image,
- divide the image into a plurality of individual image chips each having a chip size based on the target entity to be searched for, and
- successively command the display device to display each image chip for a presentation time period.
