Patent Images

1. Image processing system for enabling a user to navigate through image data having at least three spatial dimensions by displaying views of the image data, the image processing system comprising:

  • an image device comprising a display for displaying the views of the image data and an orientation sensor for measuring an orientation of the image device with respect to a reference orientation for providing rotation data indicative of a device rotation of the image device;

    means for establishing a center of rotation in the image data; and

    an image processor for establishing the views of the image data in relation to the device rotation by, for establishing a current view, (i) receiving the rotation data from the orientation sensor, (ii) establishing a view rotation in relation to the device rotation, and (iii) establishing the current view in dependence on the view rotation around the center of rotation with respect to a reference view;

    wherein the means for establishing the center of rotation comprises a region of interest detector for detecting a region of interest in the image data, and is arranged for establishing the center of rotation in dependence on the region of interest.
