Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTERACTIVE VISUALIZATION OF LOCALLY ORIENTED STRUCTURES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006057663
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of visualizing an object in an image includes presenting (10) an image, selecting (11) a point in an object of interest in said image, determining (12) a main orientation of said object of interest, presenting (13) a first visualization of said object of interest, wherein said first visualization has a first display orientation characterized by the direction of a vector normal to the first visualization plane, and selecting (14) a new point as a center of a new visualization and presenting (15) said new visualization, wherein said new visualization has a new display orientation characterized by the direction of a vector normal to the new visualization plane
