Abstract

A graphical data mapping technique that enables the computer system to recognize and analyze the presented graphical data on the computer display including the images, drawings, 3D modeling, or the like. Said graphical data mapping technique converts the graphical data into a number of matrices where the computer system can extract the needed information about said graphical data from the formed matrices serving various medical, engineering, industrial, and IT applications.

Claims

1. A graphical data mapping technique that enables the computer system to recognize and analyze the presented graphical data on the computer display wherein said graphical data mapping technique comprising the steps of;

a) defining the zones of said graphical data by allowing the user to draw a polygon on top of each one of said zones on the computer display.

b) assigning a unique ID for each drawn polygon or defined zone of said graphical data on the computer display.

c) dividing said graphical data into a plurality of hidden squares creating a hidden mesh grid.

d) forming a number of individual matrices, where each one of said individual matrices represents the location of one of said defined zones relative to the boundary of said graphical data, where each cell of said individual matrices represents one of said hidden squares, and contains an ID of one of said defined zones, or contains zero where the figure zero represents an empty cell.

e) forming a master matrix to represent the locations of said defined zones relative to the boundary of said graphical data, where each cell of said master matrix represents one of said hidden squares, and contains one or more ID of one or more zones of said defined zones, or contains zero where the figure zero represents an empty cell.

2. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is a picture.

3. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is an image.

4. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is a drawing.

5. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said zones are in the form of geometrical shapes.

6. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said zones are in the form of freeform shapes.

7. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is a medical image where the computer system identifies said zones by utilizing the relative opacity of each part or spot of said medical image.

8. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is an image where the compute system identifies said zones by utilizing the different color of each area or spot of said image.

9. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is a two or three-dimensional drawing or model whereas said zones are already defined to the computer system during the construction of said two or three-dimensional drawing or model.

10. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein the user provides a manual input to the computer system to assign said unique IDs.

11. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein the computer system assigns said unique IDs without a manual input from the user.

12. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said hidden squares are hidden identical squares.

13. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said hidden squares are hidden rectangle, circles, or other polygons.

14. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said hidden mesh grid is comprised of a number of columns and rows.

15. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is a two-dimensional graphical data.

16. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 wherein said graphical data is a three-dimensional graphical data.

17. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 1 further each one of said individual matrices and said master matrix is comprised of a number of layers which means a number of matrices.

18. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 16 further said individual matrices and said master matrix are comprised of a number of layers, which means a number of matrices, and each layer of said layers is set at each varying height of an object of said three-dimensional graphical data.

19. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 17 wherein each one of said layers represents one attribute of said defined zone while the entire group of said layers represent the entire attributes of said defined zone.

20. The graphical data mapping technique of claim 18 wherein two or more of said objects have the same height.
