Imaging system for producing recipes using an integrated human-computer interface (HCI) for image recognition, and learning algorithms

1. A computer imaging system that processes images and displays a Recognition Frame comprising:

multi-level application elements that are simultaneously displayed through a single computer graphical user interface;

an image display panel for displaying image channels;

a data display panel for displaying object measurements and summary statistics;

configuration display panel for displaying recipe content;

a master tab for selecting the image display panel, the data display panel, and the configuration display panel; and

a processing toolbar for context dependent processing tool display;

wherein a user provides training to learning algorithms to produce recipes.

2. The Recognition Frame of claim 1 further comprises a second side frame for data object display and charting.

3. The Recognition Frame of claim 1 wherein the image display panel contains

a channel tabs all images are updated to show image frame from the tab selected channel; and

Binary mask controls allow the overlay of object masks onto the display images.

4. The Recognition Frame of claim 1 wherein the image display panel displays image under a mode selected from the group consisting of whole image display, whole image thumbnail display, and image montage display.

5. The Recognition Frame of claim 1 wherein the data display panel has a tabular arrangement allowing for separate data presentation comprising:

a summary tab shows image measurements and object measurement statistics for Fields and subsets; and

at least one tab contains individual object measurements for Field and Subset.

6. The Recognition Frame of claim 1 wherein the processing toolbar makes the recognition processing accessible for processing wherein recognition processing is selected from a group consisting of enhance images, segment images, calculate measurements, analyze data, and mine data.

7. The Recognition Frame of claim 2 wherein the second side frame has a tabular arrangement consisting of properties tab, controls tab, and charts tab.

8. The Recognition Frame of claim 1 links application elements through a complex data model wherein interface display is automatically updated when one element is changed.

9. The Recognition Frame of claim 1 supports both Field and Recipe data objects.

10. The Recognition Frame of claim 9 wherein the entire Recognition Frame containing all Field elements including recipes can be saved to a single file.

11. A computer imaging system that processes images and displays a Recognition Frame comprising:

multi-level application elements that are simultaneously displayed through a single computer graphical user interface;

an image display panel for displaying an image channel;

a data display panel for displaying object measurements;

configuration display panel for displaying recipe content;

charting, controls and meta-data panel for data object display and charting;

a master tab for selecting the image display panel, the data display panel, the configuration display panel, and the charting, controls and meta-data panel; and

a processing toolbar for context dependent processing tool display;

wherein a user provides training to learning algorithms to produce recipes.

12. The Recognition Frame of claim 11 links application elements through a complex data model wherein interface display is automatically updated when one element is changed.

13. The Recognition Frame of claim 11 supports both Field and Recipe data objects.

14. The Recognition Frame of claim 13 wherein the entire Recognition Frame containing all Field elements including recipes can be saved to a single file.

15. A computer imaging system that processes images and displays a Recognition Frame comprising:

multi-level application elements that are simultaneously displayed through a single computer graphical user interface;

an image display panel for displaying an image;

a data display panel for displaying object measurements;

a master tab for selecting the image display panel and the data display panel; and

a processing toolbar for context dependent processing tool display;

wherein a user provides training to learning algorithms to produce recipes.

16. The Recognition Frame of claim 15 further comprises a configuration display panel for displaying recipe content.

17. The Recognition Frame of claim 15 further comprises a second side frame for data object display and charting.

18. The Recognition Frame of claim 15 wherein the image display panel contains

channel tabs wherein all images are updated to show image frame from the tab selected channel; and

Binary mask controls allow the overlay of object masks onto the display images.

19. The Recognition Frame of claim 15 wherein the image display panel displays image under a mode selected from the group consisting of whole image display, whole image thumbnail display, and image montage display.

20. The Recognition Frame of claim 15 wherein the data display panel has a tabular arrangement allowing for separate data presentation comprising

a summary tab shows image measurements and object measurement statistics for Field and subset; and

at least one tab contain individual object measurements for Field and Subset.
