KBVision Image Examiner


The "Image Examiner" is the data examination tool provided in the KBVision System. It allows the user to set up an arbitrary grid of visual panels, each able to display data with a wide range of methods. The panels can be linked so that actions taken in one can take effect in others.

Types of displays include pictorial, numeric/text, histogram, surface, and profile. Most of these apply to Token (feature) as well as Image data in a very unified manner. For instance, histograms of lengths of lines behave the same as histograms of brightness of pixels.

By linking displays, interactions in one can result in actions in others. For example, as one zooms into areas in one image, other displays can update their surface plots, histograms, or image displays. In this way it becomes very convenient to investigate the results of processing. One simply displays both data, links the display panels, and can investigate "before" and "after" simultaneously.

Many of the above capabilities are also available in the 3D module version of the examiner. 3 dimensional images can be viewed, zoomed, and transparency values set for meaningful display. 3D tokens can be overlayed as well.

For those working with very large images, the examiner also uses precomputed display hierarchies. This allows one to efficiently move through arbitrarily zoomed versions of images that are over 1 GByte in size! The entire KBVision System is able to create and access these images efficiently, without using excessive address space.

It is impossible in this brief description to explain the power of the Image Examiner. Most of the displays in the pages of AAI, including contract activities, are taken directly from the Image Examiner. Please contact your sales representative for further information.
