Visualisation of medical infrared image databases.
We introduce a method for visualising and navigating through a collection of medical infrared images. Multidimensional scaling is used to provide an overall picture of a given image database by projecting all images on a plane and arranging them so that images that are visually similar are placed close to each other. Navigation through the image set can then be performed by zooming into an area of interest which could correspond to images describing similar symptoms. Experimental results are provided on an image database of 200+ thermal images.
