The display enhancing assembly employs visual cues such as a videographic moving arrow, help text bubbles, a sliding in / out presentation of menus in a series of menus and automated relative enlarging of pertinent text and / or dimming of non-pertinent screen contents.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for screening articles such as baggage, utilizing a computerized touch sensitive screen or other computerized pointing device for operator identification and electronic marking of objects within the article to be further examined. Baggage is eletromagnetically (i.e., x-ray) scanned while traveling on a conveyer and an electronic image is taken of each article and stored in a computer. An operator positioned at a computerized touch sensitive screen views electronic images of the articles to be screened as they are conveyed past a sensor array which transmits sequences of images of the series either directly or through a computer to the touch sensitive display screen. The operator manually “touches” objects within the articles displayed on the screen to be identified on coupled interactive screens thereby registering the objects selected within the computer. The computer then provides sequential information identifying actions to be taken and information and data to be recorded. The system continually scans articles as they pass the scanning station and proceed for further processing, which ultimately may include being added to a vehicle as baggage or freight. The present system utilizes a plurality of visual display devices, each with an examiner, which are likely located remotely of the screening operation. Each examination continues independently of the scanning such that there is no interruption in the flow of articles should an examiner detect an object of interest and worthy of further examination, either by screen or by physical examination.

The present invention converts a wide-angle lens image into a two dimensional view with reduced distortion and warping. The present invention uses a graphics engine which accepts a shape, an image, and a viewing position. An effective lens shape, corresponding to the recording lens, an image as well as a image-related viewing position is supplied to the graphics engine. The graphic engine projects the image on the effective shape and displays a portion of the image from the viewing position. The recording lens is often a wide-angle lens. The graphics rendering engine maps the wide-angle lens image onto an effective lens shape and displays sections of the mapped image on the shape in a full screen view. Portions of or the entire image are viewable at any one time. Use of acceleration hardware permits frame per second rates of display of up to 60 and greater frames per second. Typical wide-angle recording lenses include “fisheye” lenses and torus shaped (doughnut) lenses.
