<p>Reusable templates are defined and prepared to simulate shapes of objects evaluated and different templates are used to adapt to changing states of object during study. Measurements are done to obtain image of object in focus using two or three-dimensional imaging scanning systems. Measurement data is recorded on optical, magnetic, photographic or solid state media (e.g. videotape, CD-ROM, optical disc or computer RAM), digitalized and converted into electronic images for display. Areas of interest within the image are displayed in multiple views and dimensions. Objects boundaries are marked and the image is divided into components which can be trimmed for use in image analysis. The image is made accessible to a system capable of extracting image pixels and recording pixel definitions (e.g. location and intensity values) in order to e.g. determine form and position (symmetry/angle) and volume of the image components selected for initial analysis. The results of this initial analysis and the selected form templates are used to automatically determine image locations and the best method for follow-on detailed analysis. Detailed study of the baseline forms of the objects being studied are carried out. An analysis of how the object changes is made and the specific states of form the object takes during a study sequence are determined. The formula of the digital template that best represents each state of the object in focus is made.</p> |
