Abstract
Systems and methods for performing intelligent image processing. Image processing systems and methods in accordance with the present invention may select algorithms for processing collections of images by comparing algorithmic region of interest (aROI) data to stored human visual region of interest (hROI) data to select from a database of available transformation algorithms an optimal algorithm or group of algorithms to be used in transforming data comprising the collection or collections of images. The selected algorithm(s) may then be used, for example, in data compression, image enhancement or database query functions.
