In a system for displaying medical images, medical images are generated
from views internally within a body by means of x-rays, CAT scan, or MRI.
The images are spaced in time or are views of spaced slices through tissue
or through an organ within a body. The spacing between the images is such
that the display of the images as a motion picture would result in the
motion being depicted as jerky in the motion picture. A video processor
generates dense motion vector fields between adjacent frames of the
original set of images and, from the dense motion vector fields, generates
interpolated images between the images of the original set. The
interpolated images are assembled into a motion picture set of images,
which are displayed by a video display device.
