Neurophysiologically driven high speed image triage system and method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of conducting image triage of an image that may include one or more target entities, comprising:
- dividing the image into a plurality of individual image chips;
successively displaying each image chip to a user for a presentation time period;
collecting neurophysiological data and physical response data from the user at least while each image chip is being displayed;
for each image chip, assigning a first probability that the image chip at least includes a target entity, based on the collected physical response data;
for each image chip, assigning a second probability that the image chip at least includes a target entity, based on the collected neurophysiological data;
applying a weighting factor to the second probability;
for each image chip, determining and assigning an overall probability from a combination of the first probability and the weighted second probability; and
displaying the image with the assigned probabilities overlaid thereon.

Abstract
A system and method of efficiently and effectively triaging an image that may include one or more target entities. The image is divided into a plurality of individual image chips, and each image chip is successively displayed to a user for a presentation time period. Data are collected from the user at least while each image chip is being displayed. For each image chip, a probability that the image chip at least includes a target entity is assigned, based at least in part on the collected data. The image is then displayed with the assigned probabilities overlaid thereon.

13. A system for conducting image triage of an image that may include one or more target entities, comprising:
-
a display device operable to receive display commands and, in response thereto, to display an image; a data collector comprising a neurophysiological data collector configured to at least selectively collect neurophysiological data from a user and a user interface configured to receive input stimulus from the user and, in response thereto, to supply physical response data; processor coupled to receive the collected data from the data collector, the processor further coupled to the display device and configured to; selectively retrieve an image, divide the image into a plurality of individual image chips, successively command the display device to display each image chip to a user for a presentation time period, implement a first classifier and a second classifier, the first classifier configured to assign a first probability to each image chip based on the collected physical response data, the second classifier configured to assign a second probability to each image chip based on the collected neurophysiological data apply a weighting factor to the second probability, determine and assign a probability to each displayed image chip from a combination of the first probability and the weighted second probability, each assigned probability representative of a likelihood that the image chip at least includes a target entity, and supply commands to the display device that cause the display device to display the image with the assigned probabilities overlaid thereon. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
