Method and device for representing multichannel image data

摘要

The invention relates to a method for display of multi-channel image data, characterized in that multi-channel image data of an object that are provided by multiple channels of an imaging device are received, an image synthesis is performed on the basis of the multi-channel image data, and a synthesized image data set is output on a display device, characterized in that the image synthesis is performed in a way that the single-channel image data are temporally shifted according to a given function and the parameters of the given function are controllable by a user during the output of the synthesized image data set on the display device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for display of multi-channel image data with an appliance for receiving multi-channel image data of an object that are provided by multiple channels of an imaging device, a computation unit for the execution of an image synthesis which is performed on the basis of the multi-channel image data, and an output unit for the display of synthesized image data sets, characterized in that the computation unit is designed in a way that for the image synthesis the single-channel image data are temporally shifted according to a given function and parameters of the given function are controllable by a user during the output of the synthesized image data set on the display device.

1. Method for display of multi-channel image data for viewing by a user, wherein
multi-channel image data of an object that are provided by multiple channels of single-channel image data of an imaging device are received, the multi-channel image data comprising image data for a plurality of pixels, each pixel represented by a data set of two or more data values, each data value of a respective pixel data set being associated with a respective single channel of the multiple channels of single-channel image data; an image synthesis is performed on the basis of weighting the single-channel image data of the multi-channel image data in order to generate a synthesized image data set, the synthesized image data set comprising image data for a plurality of pixels of a synthesized image, each pixel of the synthesized image data set corresponding to a respective pixel of the multi-channel image data, and the synthesized image data set is output on a display device, the display device displaying the pixels of the synthesized image, the image synthesis being performed in a way that the data values of the data set of each pixel of the multi-channel image data are weighted and temporally oscillated at an oscillation frequency according to an alpha-blending function independent of the data sets of the other pixels of the multi-channel image data to calculate the value of the corresponding pixel in the synthesized image; wherein the alpha-blending function for each data set comprises a respective alpha-blending function for each data value of the data set, the oscillation frequency and weighting of each respective alpha-blending function being controllable by a user during the output of the synthesized image data set on the display device.
