SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAY SPEED CONTROL OF CAPSULE IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method for processing images from a capsule camera, the method comprising:
- receiving images, wherein the images are captured by a capsule camera;
determining image characteristics, wherein the image characteristics include image spatial complexity; and
tagging the image with a temporal factor based on the determined image characteristics.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for display speed control of images captured from a capsule camera system. For capsule systems, with either digital wireless transmission or on-board storage, the captured images will be played back for analysis and examination. During playback, the diagnostician wishes to find polyps or other points of interest as quickly and efficiently as possible. The present invention discloses systems and methods for display speed based on image complexity. A higher visual complexity will result in longer display time so that the diagnostician can examine the underlying images longer. Conversely, a lower visual complexity will result in shorter display time. The visual complexity may be derived from image contours/edges or spatial frequencies.
