Processing an infrared (IR) image based on swipe gestures

A computer system for processing an infrared (IR) image based on a swipe gesture, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• a touch screen;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the touch screen, wherein said processor is configured to:
• display an IR image on said touch screen, wherein the IR image is displayed within a first graphical object of one or more graphical objects displayed within said touch screen,
• receive a user indication of a swipe gesture via said touch screen, wherein said receiving the user indication comprises generating first data representing a first swipe gesture starting location and second data representing a first swipe gesture direction,
• process the one or more graphical objects based on the first and the second data by performing one or more operations comprising at least one of:
• (i) splitting said IR image within the first graphical object into a first and second parts to process the first or the second part,
• (ii) modifying a size of a second graphical object to a predefined expanded size or a predefined minimized size,
• (iii) modifying a temperature range for processing the IR image, or
• (iv) modifying one or more parameter ranges for processing the IR image;
• and
• display said processed one or more graphical objects within said touch screen.

A method of processing an infrared (IR) image based on a swipe gesture, the method comprising:

• displaying an IR image on a touch screen, wherein the IR image is displayed within a first graphical object displayed within the touch screen;
• receiving, by a processor communicatively coupled to said touch screen, a user indication of a swipe gesture via said touch screen, wherein said receiving the user indication comprises generating first data representing a swipe gesture starting location and second data representing a swipe gesture direction, and wherein said second data indicates that the user indication corresponds to a stationary swipe;
• determining, based at least in part on the first data representing the swipe gesture starting location, a spot marker location for selecting a pixel or group of pixels of the IR image displayed within the first graphical object;
• displaying a second graphical object representing a spot marker by overlaying the second graphical object onto the IR image at the spot marker location;
• and
• processing said IR image based on the spot marker location.
