Abstract

Digital image data is manipulated for improved image visualization and analysis. A two-dimensional image includes relevant subject matter and a substantially homogeneous background that at least partially borders on the relevant subject matter. A first sub-image is defined from the two-dimensional image that includes the relevant subject matter and a reduced amount of the substantially homogeneous background. A second sub-image is defined from the first sub-image that substantially defines just the relevant subject matter. A plurality of image processing options are selected from a library of image processing options. The second sub-image is then processed in accordance with the image processing options to generate image output data. The image output data can be displayed for viewing and/or analysis.
