Abstract
A method, apparatus and program for implementing the method is provided for performing efficient and stable comparative image observation in which a plurality of digital images inputted for comparative observation is switched and displayed on the screen of a display means. Brightness adjusting process for the plurality of images inputted for comparative observation, and aligning process for the structures of the subjects among the images are performed by the image processing means. Display control is implemented by the display control means such that each of the images is repeatedly switched and displayed on the screen of the display means at a favorable frame rate for comparative observation in the range from 1 to 5 fps based on the processed image data files.
Claims19
An image display method comprising:
- aligning positions of a same type of subject present in a plurality of different images by performing image processing on at least one of a plurality of image data files corresponding to the plurality of the different images to obtain a plurality of aligned image data files;
- displaying the plurality of different images corresponding to the obtained plurality of the aligned image data files of the same type of subject for a comparative observation on a screen of a single display means by switching the images;
- and
- adjusting display rates on the single display means,
- wherein the images are displayed repeatedly on the screen at a display rate in the range from 1 to 5 fps,
- wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting the display rate only between 1 to 5 fps when displaying the plurality of the different images.
An image display apparatus, comprising:
- a single display means having a screen for displaying images;
- an aligning means for substantially aligning positions of a same type of subject present in a plurality of different images by performing image processing on at least one of a plurality of image data files corresponding to the plurality of the different images to obtain a plurality of aligned image data files;
- a display control means for controlling the display means such that the plurality of different images of the same type of subject are switched and displayed on the screen based on the obtained plurality of the aligned image data files for a comparative observation;
- and
- a display rate adjusting means for adjusting display rates on the single display means,
- wherein the display control means controls the display means such that the plurality of different images are repeatedly displayed on the screen at a display rate in the range from 1 to 5 fps,
- wherein the display rate adjusting means adjusts the display rate only between 1 to 5 fps when displaying the plurality of the different images.
A computer-readable storage medium storing thereon a program for causing a computer to perform a display control method comprising:
- aligning positions of a same type of subject present in a plurality of different images by performing image processing on at least one of a plurality of image data files corresponding to the plurality of the different images to obtain a plurality of aligned image data files;
- controlling a single display means having a screen such that the plurality of different images of the same type of subject are switched and displayed on the screen based on the obtained plurality of the aligned image data files for a comparative observation;
- and
- adjusting display rates on the single display means,
- wherein the controlling comprises controlling the display means such that the plurality of images are repeatedly displayed on the screen at a display rate in the range from 1 to 5 fps,
- wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting the display rate only between 1 to 5 fps when displaying the plurality of the different images.
