Abstract

There is provided an analyzing system including a feature value calculation unit. The feature value calculation unit is configured to calculate, for each time range, a feature value indicating a feature of an amount of movement in a target video image in which a target of analysis is imaged over time.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

determine a frequency feature value based on motion data from an image of a cell, and

control for displaying information associated with the frequency feature value on the image,

wherein the frequency feature value includes a power spectral density of a predetermined frequency band associated with an observation target of the cell.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency feature value further includes at least one of mean intensity, peak frequency and mean power frequency that are obtained from a frequency domain analysis of the motion data.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the frequency feature value includes coloring or shading based on magnitude of the frequency feature value.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image includes a frame image obtained from a video image by imaging the cell over time.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the frequency feature value is determined for each time range of the video data, and the information associated with the frequency feature value is displayed on the video image.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cell is a nerve cell.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the motion data includes at least one of motion amount and motion vector.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency feature value is determined for each of blocks, and the blocks include at least a part of the motion data.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to set a certain range in the image and the frequency feature value is determined for the certain range.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to set a region that has a motion amount equal to or greater than a threshold of the certain range.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the power spectral density of the predetermined frequency band is smaller than a peak frequency obtained from a frequency domain analysis.

12. An information processing method comprising:

determining a frequency feature value based on motion data from an image of a cell, and

controlling for displaying information associated with the frequency feature value on the image,

wherein the frequency feature value includes a power spectral density of a predetermined frequency band associated with an observation target of the cell.

13. The information processing method according to claim 12 , wherein the cell is a nerve cell.

14. A cell analysis system comprising:

an imaging apparatus configured to image a cell over time;

an information processing apparatus configured to determine a frequency feature value based on motion data from cell image obtained by the image capturing apparatus; and

a display unit that displays information associated with the frequency feature value on the cell image,

wherein the frequency feature value includes a power spectral density of a predetermined frequency band associated with an observation target of the cell.

15. The cell analysis system according to claim 14 , wherein the imaging apparatus is a microscopy apparatus.

16. The cell analysis system according to claim 14 , wherein the cell is a nerve cell.

17. The cell analysis system according to claim 14 , wherein the frequency feature value includes at least one of mean intensity, peak frequency and mean power frequency that are obtained from a frequency domain analysis of the motion data.

18. The cell analysis system according to claim 14 , wherein the information associated with the frequency feature value includes coloring or shading based on magnitude of the frequency feature value.

19. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

determine a mean power frequency based on motion data from an image of a cell, and

control displaying information, on the image, associated with the mean power frequency.

20. The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the cell is a nerve cell.

21. The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the mean power frequency is larger than a peak frequency obtained from a frequency domain analysis.

22. The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the information associated with the mean power frequency includes coloring or shading based on magnitude of the mean power frequency.

23. The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the image includes a frame image obtained from a video image by imaging the cell over time.

24. The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the mean power frequency is determined for each of blocks, and wherein the blocks include at least a part of the motion data.
