Abstract
A method presents a set of images to a viewer. The images include objects, which can be either distractor objects or target objects. A prevalence of the target objects is substantially lower than the distractor objects. Each image is segmented into portions so that each portion includes one object. The portions are then combined into a combined image. The combined image is presented to a viewer so that the target objects can be accurately and rapidly identified. The combining of the portions can be random or ordered in either the spatial or temporal domain.
