IMAGE ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR AN OBJECT MAPPING IN A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATASET

摘要

The apparatus (40) arranged for enabling an object mapping in a multi­dimensional dataset has an input (42) for receiving the multi-dimensional dataset in any suitable form. The core of the apparatus is formed by a processor (44), such as a conventional microprocessor or signal processor, a background storage (48) (typically based on a hard disk) and working memory (46) (typically based on RAM). The background storage (48) can be used for storing the dataset (or parts of it) when not being processed, and for storing operations of the graphic relational application macro and models (when not being executed by the processor). The main memory (46) typically holds the (parts of) the dataset being processed and the instructions of the graphic relational application macro and the models used for processing those parts of the dataset. The apparatus (40) according to the invention comprises computation means (45) arranged to define a set of geometric relations between a set of geometric templates using a geometrical relational application framework macro and means (47) for associating the multi-dimensional graphic objects with the geometric templates. Preferably, means (45) and (47) are operable by a computer program (43), preferably stored in memory (48). An output (49) is used for outputting the result of the mapping. Preferably, the output comprises a result of the associating of the multi-dimensional graphic objects with the geometric templates inter-related by the graphic relational application macro. The invention further relates to a method, a computer program, an image analysis system and an imaging system for an object mapping in a multi-dimensional dataset.
