Title:
STATISTICAL IMAGE ANALYSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001088850
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A system, process, and computer program product for extracting quantitative summaries of information from digital images includes performing a first image analysis and one or more additional image analyses. The first image analysis comprises quantitating an image to obtain data from the image. Similarly, the one or more additional image analyses comprise modifying the first image analysis or replacing the first image analysis with one or more other image analyses, and wherein performing the one or more additional image analyses comprises quantitating the image to obtain data which may differ from the first image analysis. In addition, the present invention includes performing a mathematical analysis following completion of the first and the one or more additional image analyses on the data obtained from the first image analysis and from the one or more additional image analyses, or performing a mathematical analysis after each image analysis on the data obtained from the first image analysis and from the one or more additional image analysis, wherein the mathematical analysis comprises producing one or more inferences from the data obtained above, wherein the one or more inferences comprise quantitative summaries of information derived from the data. In this manner, the present invention combines imaging and mathematical analysis in a single process. Consequently, imaging analysis is advantageously not segregated from mathematical analysis.
