Graphical user interfaces and occlusion prevention for fisheye lenses with line segment foci
First Claim
1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including a set of instructions for execution on one or more processors, wherein the set of instructions comprises:
- application instructions for applying a lens to an image, wherein the lens includes;
an extent of the lens,a focal region having a magnification and a perimeter shaped according to a radius of the focal region extending from a primitive, anda shoulder region having a width between the focal region and the extent of the lens, wherein the shoulder region provides context for the focal region with respect to a portion of the image outside of an appearance of the lens by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region; and
determination instructions for determining at least one of;
a maximum value for the radius of the focal region based at least on a present value of the magnification of the focal region, ora minimum value for the width of the shoulder region based at least on the present value of the magnification of the focal region.

Abstract
A method for generating a presentation of a region-of-interest in an original image for display on a display screen, comprising: establishing a lens for the region-of-interest, the lens having a magnified focal region for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region having diminishing magnification, the focal region having a perimeter defined by a radius r from a line segment; receiving one or more signals to adjust at least one of the radius r and a length len of the line segment to thereby adjust the perimeter; and, applying the lens to the original image to produce the presentation.
