Abstract
A system and method may display an image stream, where an original image stream may be divided into two or more subset images streams, each subset image stream being displayed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously. The images may be displayed fused. The images may be collected from an ingestible capsule traversing the GI tract.
Claims20
A method for displaying an image stream obtained from a swallowable capsule as a stream of fused images, the method comprising:
- creating an original image stream from images received from the swallowable capsule;
- and
- displaying images from the original image stream across a plurality of consecutive time slots;
- wherein in each time slot a set of consecutive images from the original image stream is displayed, each image within the set being displayed at the same time;
- wherein the set of consecutive images displayed in each time slot is immediately consecutive, in the original image stream, to the set of consecutive images in the immediately previous time slot;
- and
- wherein the set of images displayed in each time slot is fused together;
- thereby increasing the rate at which the original image stream can be reviewed without reducing image display time.

A system for displaying an image stream as a stream of fused images, the system comprising:
- a swallowable capsule;
- a display;
- and
- a processor to create an original image stream from images received from the swallowable capsule, to display on the display images from the original image stream across a plurality of consecutive time slots, wherein in each time slot a set of consecutive images from the original image stream is displayed, each image within the set being displayed at the same time, wherein the set of consecutive images displayed in each time slot is immediately consecutive, in the original image stream, to the set of consecutive images in the immediately previous time slot, and wherein the set of images displayed in each time slot is fused together, thereby increasing the rate at which the original image stream can be reviewed without reducing image display time.
