System and method for displaying an image stream
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for displaying frames from an in-vivo image stream, the image stream comprising a series of frames captured in-vivo in a chronological order, said method comprising:
- selecting a plurality of subsets of frames from the in-vivo image stream for display across a series of time slots;
for each subset, assigning at least one score to each frame of the subset based on a degree of variation between a predetermined criterion of each frame and a predetermined criterion of a reference frame;
displaying, using a monitor, subsets of the selected plurality of subsets of frames from the in-vivo image stream across a series of time-sequential slots as a multi-frame image stream, by displaying image frames of a different subset of the selected plurality of subsets of frames substantially simultaneously in each of the time-sequential slots, wherein the frames of the displayed subset of frames are positioned spatially in order of ascending or descending degree of variation based on the at least one score assigned thereto; and
adjusting the size of at least one of the frames displayed based on the assigned score.

Abstract
A system and method may display an image stream (200), where an original image stream may be divided into two or more subset images streams, each subset image stream being displayed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously in each time slot (210A-240D) may be variably adjusted based on a predetermined criterion. The images may be collected from an ingestible capsule traversing the GI tract.

12. A system for displaying frames of an in-vivo image stream, the system, the image stream comprising a series of frames captured in-vivo in a chronological order, the system comprising:
- an in-vivo imaging device to transmit an in-vivo image stream;
a processor to select a plurality of subsets of frames from the in-vivo image stream for display across a series of time slots and for each subset assign at least one score to each of frame of the subset based on a degree of variation between a predetermined criterion of each frame and a predetermined criterion of a reference frame; and
a monitor to display subsets of the selected plurality of subsets of frames from the in-vivo image stream across a series of time-sequential slots as a multi-frame image stream, wherein each multi-frame image thereof displays image frames of a different subset of the selected plurality of subsets of frames substantially simultaneously in each of the time-sequential slots, wherein the frames of the displayed subset of frames are positioned spatially in order of ascending or descending degree of variation based on the at least one score assigned thereto; and
wherein the size of at least one of the frames displayed is adjusted based on the assigned score. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
