Abstract
Imaging methods, imaging apparatus and computer program products are disclosed. An imaging method comprises: receiving image data of a 3-dimensional object; and allocating a confidence level to at least a portion of an image frame of the image data using a machine-learning algorithm, the confidence level indicating a likelihood of that image frame having a specified element imaged on a specified plane through the 3-dimensional object. In this way, particular elements when imaged in a desired way can be identified from image data of the 3-dimensional object.
Claims29
An imaging method, comprising:
- receiving image data of a 3-dimensional object;
- and
- allocating a confidence level to at least a portion of an image frame of said image data using a machine-learning algorithm, said confidence level indicating a likelihood of that image frame having a specified element imaged on a specified plane through said 3-dimensional object.

25-38. (canceled)
An imaging apparatus, comprising:
- reception logic operable to receive image data of a 3-dimensional object;
- logic operable to allocate a confidence level to at least a portion of an image frame of said image data using a machine-learning algorithm, said confidence level indicating a likelihood of that image frame having a specified element imaged on a specified plane through said 3-dimensional object.

An imaging apparatus, comprising:
- logic operable to indicate to an operator a confidence level that an image frame of a 3-dimensional object has a specified element imaged on a specified plane through said 3-dimensional object:
- wherein said logic is operable to indicate to said operator a plurality of confidence levels that an image frame of a 3-dimensional object has a corresponding one of a plurality of specified elements imaged on a corresponding specified plane through said 3-dimensional object.
