System and method for improving display of tuned multi-scaled regions of an image with local and global control

A computer readable storage medium having computer-readable program code stored thereon for causing a processor to implement a method comprising:

• automatically applying a segmentation algorithm to a digital image multiple times to form a plurality of image results, wherein for each image result of said plurality of image results at least one parameter of said segmentation algorithm is changed, and wherein each image result of said plurality of image results forms a plurality of segmented region images associated therewith;
• displaying the digital image on a display;
• overlaying a segmented region image from said plurality of segmented region images of an image result from said plurality of image results on said digital image;
• and
• providing a first user interface control for selection of a segment region image of said plurality of segment region images and for selection of an image result of said plurality of image results.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• a display;
• and
• a memory coupled to said processor and said display, wherein said memory comprises computer-readable program code stored thereon for causing said processor to implement a method comprising:
• automatically applying a segmentation algorithm to a digital image multiple times to form a plurality of image results, wherein for each image result of said plurality of image results at least one parameter of said segmentation algorithm is changed, and wherein each image result of said plurality of image results forms a plurality of segmented region images associated therewith;
• displaying the digital image on said display;
• overlaying a segmented region image from said plurality of segmented region images of an image result from said plurality of image results on said digital image;
• and
• providing a first user interface control for selection of a segment region image of said plurality of segment region images and for selection of an image result of said plurality of image results.
