Then the host performs convolution of the feature images with kernels to get a convolution result. Later the host matches the convolution result with sample spectra of sample images to get a comparison result. Lastly the host determines whether metastasis of esophageal cancer cells occurs according to the comparison result.

A stream of image walls may be generated and transmitted to a client device. Metadata including mapping information enables the client to locate a chosen camera angle to view and switch to any camera angle viewing of the same video stream at the client's choosing.
