Abstract:
1. A process for cyclic, interactive image analysis, of an image having individual image points, said image defining an image space, comprising the steps of: (a) selecting by a user of image regions of interest in said image, (b) performing preprogrammed transformations on said image at one of all individual image points and a selection of individual image points, said performing generating transformation result values defining a transformation space, (c) normalizing said transformation result values which provides a normalized transformation space, (d) dividing said normalized transformation space into classes with the aid of separation rules that are derived from normalized transformation result values in said image regions selected by the user, said dividing resulting in a classification, (e) allocating the classification obtained in said normalized transformation space to said individual image points resulting in a classified image in said image space, and (f) presenting said classified image in said image space.
