Patent ID: 8559050

Claim:
A computer-implemented method to control placement of an image on an imaging device, the method comprising: receiving a source collection of a plurality of two-dimensional image points in a source vector space for a source image and a target collection of a plurality of two-dimensional image points in a target vector space for a target image, wherein the source collection of the plurality of two-dimensional image points and the target collection of the plurality of two-dimensional image points are different due to errors in the imaging device; converting the source collection of two-dimensional image points and the target collection of two-dimensional image points into a homogenous form to enable and apply affine matrix transformations; solving for a matrix transformation to map the target collection of the plurality of two-dimensional image points to the source collection of the plurality of two-dimensional image points, wherein the matrix transformation is one of an inverse matrix transformation, and a reverse mapping; and adjusting, using the matrix transformation, at least one of distortion and alignment of the target image to control placement of the target image in an imaging device.
