System and method for adaptively labeling multi-dimensional images
First Claim
1. A method for labeling a two-dimensional image of a multi-dimensional object, comprising:
- displaying the two-dimensional image of the multi-dimensional object;
calculating a plurality of label regions in the two-dimensional image, the plurality of label regions being substantially evenly spatially distributed along the two-dimensional image;
determining a data value having a round number within each of the label regions;
finding a label point corresponding to the data value within each of the label regions;
displaying the label point within each of the label regions in the two-dimensional image; and
displaying the data value adjacent the label point within each of the label regions in the two-dimensional image.

Abstract
Techniques for labeling a two-dimensional image of a multi-dimensional object include displaying the two-dimensional image of the multi-dimensional object. A plurality of label regions are calculated in the two-dimensional image, the plurality of label regions being substantially evenly spatially distributed along the two-dimensional image. A data value having a round number is determining within each of the label regions and a label point corresponding to the data value within each of the label regions is determined. The label point within each of the label regions in the two-dimensional image is displayed along with the data value adjacent the label point within each of the label regions in the two-dimensional image.

displaying the two-dimensional image of the multi-dimensional object;
determining a reference line for the multi-dimensional object;
determining a first data value, the first data value being a most round number on the reference line for the multi-dimensional object;
finding a start point corresponding to the first data value on the reference line for the multi-dimensional object;
converting the reference line for the multi-dimensional object to a two-dimensional reference line;
finding a first label point on the two-dimensional reference line, the first label point corresponding to the start point;
calculating a plurality of label regions on the two-dimensional reference line, the plurality of label regions and the first label point being substantially evenly spatially distributed on the two-dimensional reference line;
determining a data value in each of the label regions, the data value being a round number in each of the label regions;
finding a label point corresponding to the data value in each of the label regions;
displaying the label point in each of the label regions; and
displaying the data value adjacent the label point in each of the label regions. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
