System and method for displaying tracked objects on a display device

A method of displaying a tracked object on a display device, the method comprising the steps of:

• storing a plurality of pixel values in a first plurality of fields, each pixel value in one or more fields having pixel information specifying a characteristic of the tracked object at a pixel location;
• forming in a pixel interpretation table a plurality of entries, an index value in one of the first plurality of fields specifying an entry in the interpretation table, each entry interpreting which pixel values in the first plurality of fields should control a display characteristic of the tracked object at that pixel location;
• and
• modifying the plurality of entries of the pixel interpretation table, wherein the modified plurality of entries re-interprets which pixel values in the first plurality of fields should control as to display another characteristic of the tracked object.

A processor executable medium containing instructions therein for displaying a tracked object on a display device, which when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a method comprising the steps of:

• storing a plurality of pixel values in a first plurality of fields, each pixel value in one or more fields having pixel information specifying a characteristic of the tracked object at a pixel location;
• forming in a pixel interpretation table a plurality of entries, an index value in one of the first plurality of fields specifying an entry in the interpretation table, each entry interpreting which pixel values in the first plurality of fields should control a display characteristic of the tracked object at that pixel location;
• and
• modifying the plurality of entries of the pixel interpretation table, wherein the modified plurality of entries re-interprets which pixel values in the first plurality of fields should control as to display another characteristic of the tracked object.
