Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for displaying images captured from a panoramic capsule camera system. In one embodiment according to the invention, multiple sub-image sets are generated using a sub-image set window on the panoramic image by cyclically shifting the panoramic image. The multiple sub-image sets are then displayed in multiple display windows. In another embodiment according to the invention, the sub-image set in every other display window is flipped horizontally, vertically or both horizontally and vertically.

Claims (20)

1. A method for displaying a sequence of panorama images from a capsule camera system, the method comprising:

accepting a panorama image captured with the capsule camera system;

generating multiple sub-image sets using a sub-image set window on the panoramic image by cyclically shifting the panoramic image; and

displaying said multiple sub-image sets in multiple display windows, wherein each of said multiple display windows is used to display one of said multiple sub-image sets.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sub-image set in every other display window is flipped horizontally, vertically or both horizontally and vertically.

3. A method for displaying a sequence of panorama images from a capsule camera system, the method comprising:

accepting a panorama image captured with the capsule camera system, wherein the panorama image consists of multiple sub-images corresponding to scenes around latitudinal field of view;

generating multiple sub-image sets by cyclically shifting the panoramic image; and

displaying said multiple sub-image sets in multiple display windows, wherein each of said multiple display windows is used to display one of said multiple sub-image sets.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the sub-image set in every other display window is flipped horizontally, vertically or both horizontally and vertically.

5. A system for displaying a sequence of panorama images from a capsule camera system, the system comprising:

an interface to accept a panorama image captured with the capsule camera system, wherein the panorama image consists of multiple sub-images corresponding to scenes around latitudinal field of view;

means for generating multiple sub-image sets by cyclically shifting the panoramic image; and

means for displaying said multiple sub-image sets in multiple display windows, wherein each of said multiple display windows is used to display one of said multiple sub-image sets.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the sub-image set in every other display window is flipped horizontally, vertically or both horizontally and vertically.

7. A system for displaying a sequence of panorama images from a capsule camera system, the system comprising:

an interface to accept a panorama image captured with the capsule camera system, wherein the panorama image consists of multiple sub-images corresponding to scenes around latitudinal field of view;

means for generating multiple sub-image sets by cyclically shifting the panoramic image; and

means for displaying said multiple sub-image sets in multiple display windows, wherein each of said multiple display windows is used to display one of said multiple sub-image sets.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the sub-image set in every other display window is flipped horizontally, vertically or both horizontally and vertically.
