Methods and apparatuses for image processing and display

An apparatus for implementing improved image processing techniques, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions that are executed by the processor to configure the apparatus to:

• receive a source image;
• programmatically identify a plurality of anatomical elements within the source image through use of a computer vision technique;
• determine a first region of the source image corresponding to a first anatomical element of the plurality of anatomical elements;
• determine a second region of the source image corresponding to a second anatomical element of the plurality of anatomical elements;
• apply at least one first configuration setting to the first region;
• apply at least one second configuration setting to the second region, the at least one second configuration setting different from the at least one first configuration setting;
• and
• generate a merged image, wherein the merged image comprises the first region as visualized according to the at least one first configuration setting and the second region as visualized according to the at least one second configuration setting.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement improved image processing techniques by configuring the processor to:

• receive a source image;
• programmatically identify a plurality of anatomical elements within the source image through use of a computer vision technique;
• determine a first region of the source image corresponding to a first anatomical element of the plurality of anatomical elements;
• determine a second region of the source image corresponding to a second anatomical element of the plurality of anatomical elements;
• apply at least one first configuration setting to the first region;
• apply at least one second configuration setting to the second region, the at least one second configuration setting different from the at least one first configuration setting;
• and
• generate a merged image, wherein the merged image comprises the first region as visualized according to the at least one first configuration setting and the second region as visualized according to the at least one second configuration setting.
