Abstract
A device, system and method may enable the obtaining of in vivo images from within body lumens or cavities, such as images the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where the data such as image data is typically transmitted or otherwise sent to a receiving system in compressed or diluted form. The image may be reconstructed and for example displayed to a user.
Claims20
An in vivo device comprising:
- an imager for capturing in vivo image data, the imager comprising rows of pixels;
- a controller to receive the in vivo image data, and to dilute the image data using a dilution pattern, wherein said dilution pattern is repeated in every four rows of the captured image data, such that every second green pixel is selected from a first row, every second blue pixel is selected from a second row, and every second red pixel is selected from a third row;
- and
- a transmitter to transmit diluted image data.
A system for dilution of in vivo image data for subsequent reconstruction thereof, the system comprising a data compression module to:
- receive image data acquired by an in-vivo imager, the imager comprising rows of pixels;
- and
- dilute said image data using a dilution pattern, wherein said dilution pattern is repeated in every four rows of the image data, such that every second green pixel is selected from a first row, every second blue pixel is selected from a second row, and every second red pixel is selected from a third row.
A method for dilution of in vivo image data comprising:
- capturing in vivo image data by an in vivo imager, the data arranged in rows of pixels;
- diluting the captured image data according to a dilution pattern, wherein the dilution pattern wherein the dilution pattern is repeated in every four rows of the image data, such that every second green pixel is selected from a first row, every second blue pixel is selected from a second row, and every second red pixel is selected from a third row;
- and
- transmitting the diluted image data to a receiver.
