Abstract

Method and system for displaying one or more regions of interest of an original image. For example, a computer-implemented method for displaying one or more regions of interest of an original image includes: obtaining one or more detection results of one or more first regions of interest, each detection result of the one or more detection results corresponding to one first region of interest of the one or more first regions of interest, each detection result including image information and one or more attribute parameters for their corresponding first region of interest; and obtaining one or more attribute parameter thresholds provided by a user in real time, each attribute parameter threshold of the one or more attribute parameter thresholds corresponding to one attribute parameter of the one or more attribute parameters.

Claims (62)

1. A computer-implemented method for displaying one or more regions of interest of an original image, the method comprising:

obtaining one or more attribute parameter thresholds provided by a user in real time, each attribute parameter threshold of the one or more attribute parameter thresholds corresponding to one attribute parameter of the one or more attribute parameters;

obtaining one or more second regions of interest from the one or more first regions of interest based on at least comparing the one or more attribute parameters with the one or more attribute parameter thresholds respectively; and

displaying image information corresponding to each second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest;

wherein the obtaining one or more attribute parameter thresholds provided by a user in real time includes:

obtaining one or more control information of a threshold control component in response to operation of the threshold control component by the user; and

determining the one or more attribute parameter thresholds based on at least one or more predetermined mapping relationships between the one or more control information and the one or more attribute parameter thresholds.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more attribute parameters include at least one selected from a group consisting of confidence level, category, and size.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying image information corresponding to each second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest includes:

obtaining one or more partial images from the original image, each of the one or more partial images corresponding to one second region of interest of the one or more second regions;

rendering the one or more partial images; and

displaying the rendered one or more partial images.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein:

the image information corresponding to each second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest includes at least one selected from a group consisting of location and size; and

wherein the displaying image information corresponding to each second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest includes:

obtaining the original image;

obtaining the one or more second regions of interest from the original image based on at least the image information corresponding to each second region of interest; and

displaying the one or more partial images from the original image, each of the one or more partial images corresponding to one second region of interest of the one or more second regions.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the displaying image information corresponding to each second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest includes:

generating one or more target indices corresponding to image information corresponding to the one or more second regions of interest respectively; and

displaying the one or more target indices.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving a selection signal for one target index of the one or more target indices;

selecting one second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest based on at least its corresponding image information corresponding to the selected one target index; and

labeling at least one of:

one of the one or more partial images from the original image corresponding to the selected one target index; and

one of the rendered one or more partial images corresponding to the selected one target index.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first regions of interest includes an anatomical structure or a lesion.

8. A device for displaying a point of interest of an original image, the device comprising:

a first module configured to obtain one or more detection results of one or more first regions of interest, each detection result of the one or more detection results corresponding to one first region of interest of the one or more first regions of interest, each detection result including image information and one or more attribute parameters for a corresponding first region of interest;

a second module configured to obtain one or more attribute parameter thresholds provided by a user in real time, each attribute parameter threshold of the one or more attribute parameter thresholds corresponding to one attribute parameter of the one or more attribute parameters;

a third module configured to obtain one or more second regions of interest from the one or more first regions of interest based on at least comparing the one or more attribute parameters with the one or more attribute parameter thresholds respectively; and

a displaying module configured to display image information corresponding to each second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest;

wherein the second module is configured to:

obtain one or more control information of a threshold control component in response to operation of the threshold control component by the user; and

determine the one or more attribute parameter thresholds based on at least one or more predetermined mapping relationships between the one or more control information and the one or more attribute parameter thresholds.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more attribute parameters include at least one selected from a group consisting of confidence level, category, and size.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the displaying module is configured to:

obtain one or more partial images from the original image, each of the one or more partial images corresponding to one second region of interest of the one or more second regions;

render the one or more partial images; and

display the rendered one or more partial images.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a processor, perform the processes comprising:

obtaining one or more detection results of one or more first regions of interest, each detection result of the one or more detection results corresponding to one first region of interest of the one or more first regions of interest, each detection result including image information and one or more attribute parameters for a corresponding first region of interest;

obtaining one or more attribute parameter thresholds provided by a user in real time, each attribute parameter threshold of the one or more attribute parameter thresholds corresponding to one attribute parameter of the one or more attribute parameters;

obtaining one or more second regions of interest from the one or more first regions of interest based on at least comparing the one or more attribute parameters with the one or more attribute parameter thresholds respectively; and

displaying image information corresponding to each second region of interest of the one or more second regions of interest;

wherein the obtaining one or more attribute parameter thresholds provided by a user in real time includes:

obtaining one or more control information of a threshold control component in response to operation of the threshold control component by the user; and

determining the one or more attribute parameter thresholds based on at least one or more predetermined mapping relationships between the one or more control information and the one or more attribute parameter thresholds.
