Patent ID: 8508615

Claim:
A method for applying projection transformation and image processing to an image c, comprising the following steps: (A) generating a projection transformation matrix for the projection transformation; (B) multiplying the projection transformation matrix with a matrix for the image processing; (C) multiplying the result of step (B) with said image c, wherein said image c is arrange in matrix format: and wherein: any processing operations to be applied to said image c prior to said image c being subjected to projection transformation are identified as pre-processing operations and are arranged into a distinct matrices (A. B. C. . . . ); any processing operations to be applied to said image c after said image c is subjected to projection transformation are identified as post-processing operations and are arranged into arranged into a distinct matrices (U, V, W, . . . ); and in step (B), the result of step (B) is the result of the following matrices Multiplication: (UVW . . . ) (projection transformation matrix) (ABC . . . ).
