Abstract
A computer-implemented method (40) of reducing processing time of an application for visualizing image data, the application being one of a plurality of applications selectable by a user and each of the plurality of applications comprising a pre-processing algorithm for pre-processing the image data. The method comprises predicting which one of the pre-processing algorithms is to be performed in response to a selection of an application by the user by:
- extracting a feature vector from the image data, metadata, and/or additional data associated with the image data,
- supplying the feature vector as input to a machine learned model, and
- receiving an algorithm identifier as output from the machine learned model, the algorithm identifier identifying the pre-processing algorithm,
- the method further comprising:
- using the algorithm identifier to select (42) the pre-processing algorithm, thereby obtaining a selected pre-processing algorithm, and
- pre-processing (43) the image data using the selected pre-processing algorithm.
