Abstract:
1. A method for identifying predefined point locations within a captured-image, said method comprising the following step: (a) defining a calibration image having a plurality of said predefined point locations distributed within it, each of said plurality of predefined point locations being uniquely identified and distinguished from each other within the calibration image by a unique combination of adjacent colors around each predefined point location; (b) generating said captured-image by capturing at least a portion of said calibration image; and (c) identifying point locations within the captured-image that correspond to predefined point locations in said calibration image according to their matching unique combination of adjacent colors, correlating the identified point locations within the captured-image to their corresponding predefined point locations within said calibration image; wherein in step (a), said calibration image includes:
