Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system for associating acquired images with objects is disclosed. It comprises an image selector ( 1 ) for selecting a stored image from a database ( 5 ) comprising a plurality of stored images, the database ( 5 ) comprising an association ( 21 ) between the stored image ( 6 ) and an object of interest; an image scanner ( 2 ) for acquiring a new image ( 9 ) comprising a representation ( 10 ) of at least part of the object of interest, during an imaging session; a user interface ( 3 ) for enabling a user, during the imaging session, to indicate that the new image ( 9 ) is to be associated with the object of interest; and an associating subsystem ( 4 ) for creating an association ( 23 ) between the new image ( 9 ) and the object of interest in the database. The user interface ( 3 ) is arranged for enabling a user to select the object of interest from a plurality of objects of interest associated with the stored image ( 6 ).
