Patent ID: 8848982

Claim:
An apparatus for reconstructing an image comprising: (a) a hand-held image acquisition device configured to acquire local image information from a physical object, wherein the local image information is a function of time; (b) a tracking system comprising: (i) an image sensor that is apart from the hand-held image acquisition device; (ii) the image sensor is configured to obtain displacement information for the hand-held acquisition device while the hand-held acquisition device is acquiring the local image information; and (iii) the displacement information is represented by a displacement function as a function of time; (c) an image reconstruction system configured to: (i) compute an inverse of the displacement function; (ii) combine, based on time, the inverse of the displacement function with the local image information to transform the local image information into a reconstructed local image information profile; and (d) a display device configured to display the reconstructed local image information profile.
