Claim:
A method of dividing an image into a plurality of image chips for presentation on a display, the method comprising the steps of: detecting potential objects of interest within the image by detecting features therein that correspond to objects of interest; uniformly dividing the image into a plurality of preliminary image chips; and generating triage image chips by automatically adjusting each preliminary image chip such that the potential objects of interest detected within each preliminary image chip are at least substantially centered in each triage image chip, wherein the step of generating the triage image chips comprises: placing one or more associated imaginary windows over each preliminary image chip; for each preliminary image chip, shifting its one or more associated imaginary windows a maximum predetermined number of pixels into an adjoining preliminary image chip; after shifting the imaginary windows the maximum predetermined number of pixels, detecting potential objects of interest within each imaginary window; and selecting the imaginary windows having a highest number of detected potential objects of interest therein.
