Abstract:
A method of imaging a target site with a stereo imaging system, the method comprising:capturing a right and a left optical image of the target site; transforming the right and the left optical images into regulatable information; converting the regulatable information into opposed images of the target site displayed on a stereo display of the stereo imaging system, one of the opposed images being associated with the right optical image and the other of the opposed images being associated with the left optical image; distinctively coloring the opposed images to assist in aligning the opposed images; viewing the target site to determine a misalignment between the distinctively colored opposed images; regulating the regulatable information to cause the positions of the target site displayed on the distinctively colored opposed images to change relative to each other so as to align the distinctively colored opposed images.
