Abstract
A system and method of efficiently and effectively triaging an image that may include one or more target entities are provided. An image that may include one or more target entities is retrieved. The retrieved image is then divided into a plurality of sub-images, and each sub-image is displayed in a display region to a user. Each sub-image that was previously displayed is then divided into a plurality of sub-images, and each sub-image that was just divided is displayed to the user in the display region. The steps in the previous sentence are then repeated a determined number of times. During the initial display of the sub-images, and during each subsequent recursion, data are collected from the user and estimates of target entity locations are derived from the collected data.
