Abstract:
1. A method for displaying an image stream captured in-vivo, said method comprising: in a computer system: selecting a plurality of image frames from an original image stream, wherein the frames used for selecting are arranged in a chronological order from chronological in-vivo capture; sorting the plurality of image frames arranged in an original image stream in a chronological order in which the frames were captured in-vivo, the frames being sorted based on the level of variance of the content of the frames from a pre-defined criterion to produce a sorted order, said sorted order being different from the chronological order in which the frames were captured and non-chronological; selecting subsets of image frames from the frames in the sorted order; and displaying the subsets across a series of time-sequential slots as a multi-frame image stream, wherein in each of the time-sequential slots, image frames of a different subset are displayed simultaneously; and adjusting the viewing rate of a subset of image frames based on the difference in color content or texture of the image frames in said subset of image frames in comparison to the content of image frames of a neighboring subset.
