SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC NAVIGATION OF A CAPSULE BASED ON IMAGE STREAM CAPTURED IN-VIVO

摘要

Embodiments of the invention include a method and system for displaying an in vivo imaging procedure. The method includes receiving real-time image data captured by the capsule, and continuously generating an updated summarized color bar, said color bar comprising color strips and time scale marks. The color bar is calculated based on color values of received image data, and is updated continuously as new image data is received. The displayed time period is periodically updated, for example based on pre determined fixed time intervals, based on varying time intervals, or based on an accumulated amount of received image data. Other methods of determining the periodic updates may be used.

主权项

1. A method for displaying an in vivo imaging capsule procedure, the method comprising:
receiving real-time image data captured by the capsule during an in-vivo procedure; generating a summarized color bar, said color bar comprising color strips and time scale marks, said color strips generated based on color values of image data as new image data is received; periodically updating said color strips, as new image data is received, and updating a time interval between said time scale marks according to a time passing from the beginning of the in-vivo procedure; updating the summarized color bar according to the updated time interval and updated color strips; and displaying a combined display comprising the summarized color bar and an image stream, the image stream comprising the real-time image data.
