Occlusion Reduction and Magnification for Multidimensional Data Presentations

A data processing system configured for generating a presentation of a region-of-interest in an original image for display on a display screen, wherein the original image comprises a plurality of polygons, wherein each of the plurality of polygons is defined by three or more shared edges joined at vertex points, and wherein the data processing system comprises a processor and memory having instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the data processing system to perform operations comprising:

• establishing a lens for the region-of-interest, wherein the lens comprises a magnified focal region for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region, wherein the shoulder region provides context for the focal region with respect to portions of the image outside of the lens by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region;
• and
• subdividing the plurality of polygons by inserting at least one additional vertex point and at least one additional edge into each of the plurality of polygons, wherein the plurality of polygons are proximate to at least one of a perimeter of the focal region or a perimeter of the shoulder region.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium for use with a presentation of a region-of-interest in an original image for display on a display screen, wherein the original image comprises a plurality of polygons, wherein each of the plurality of polygons is defined by three or more shared edges joined at vertex points, and wherein the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium includes instructions executable to cause a data processing system to:

• establish a lens for the region-of-interest, wherein the lens comprises a magnified focal region for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region, wherein the shoulder region provides context for the focal region with respect to portions of the image outside of the lens by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region;
• and
• subdivide the plurality of the polygons by inserting at least one additional vertex point and at least one additional edge into each of the plurality of polygons, wherein the plurality of polygons are proximate to at least one of a perimeter of the focal region or a perimeter of the shoulder region.
