Abstract
A system and method is provided for using a linearized data structure to display a set of ordered images. The images are ordered based on the attributes of the images. The system and method includes displaying a target image and related images on a graphical user interface, where the related images are near the target image in the linearized data structure. The relative sizes of the target image and the related images may reflect the similarity of the related images to the attributes of the target image.
Claims30
A method for displaying images on a display comprising:
- displaying a target image;
- displaying a plurality of nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the target image;
- and
- displaying a plurality of next nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the next nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the nearest neighbors.
A machine-readable medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions that if executed cause a machine to display images on a display by performing operations comprising:
- displaying a target image;
- displaying a plurality of nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the target image;
- and
- displaying a plurality of next nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the next nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the nearest neighbors.
A display comprising:
- a target image;
- a plurality of nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the target image;
- and
- a plurality of next nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the next nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the nearest neighbors.
A computer system comprising:
- a storage device to store instructions to display a plurality of images, the storage device including instructions to:
- display a target image;
- display a plurality of nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the target image;
- and
- display a plurality of next nearest neighbors proximate the target image, wherein the next nearest neighbors are displayed as smaller in size than the nearest neighbors;
- a processor to execute the instructions;
- and
- a display to display the target image, the plurality of nearest neighbors, and the plurality of next nearest neighbors.
