Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention include methods and systems for efficient display of object of interest within, or superimposed over, a display of a region of interest. In one embodiment of the present invention, when more than a threshold number of objects of interest need to be displayed, a portion of the objects of interest are graphically emphasized, or displayed using large, easily identified and manipulated icons, while the remaining objects of interest are displayed using small icons, or graphically deemphasized. A user may select an alternative portion of the objects of interest for graphical emphasis, deemphasizing any formerly emphasized objects of interest and leaving deemphasized any object of interest not within the alternative portion of the object of interested selected for emphasis.
