Patent ID: 7565019

Claim:
A method of panoramic image processing, for generating an object image from an image sequence obtained in a real-time way or stored in a medium, in which a serial number i of an image is 1, 2, 3, . . . , and Δ is an interval for picking up the image sequence, comprising the steps of: a. obtaining the image sequence from an ultrasonic imaging apparatus comprising a probe for transmitting an ultrasonic wave to a detected organism and receiving an ultrasonic echo reflected from the detected organism, and initializing an aligned image and a spliced image as a first image frame; b. dividing an i-th image frame F; into a plurality of sub-regions, and selecting valid sub-regions from the sub-regions of the i-th image frame F; through a first filtering; c. calculating motion vectors for the valid sub-regions of the i-th image frame with respect to a current aligned image; d. adaptively adjusting the interval Δ within a value range of Δ based on a translation amount of the i-th image frame Fi being within a controllable range e. calculating a transform coefficient based upon a fitting of the motion vectors; f. splicing the i-th image frame F to a current spliced image based upon the transform coefficient, and configuring or splicing the current aligned image with the i-th image frame Fi; and g. displaying the current spliced image as a resultant image on a display device.
