Patent Images

1. An imaging system for imaging a non-planar developable surface, the system comprising:

  • a processor linked to an imaging detector and being capable of;

    capturing at least one image of the surface, said image having a warp corresponding to the non-planar surface; and

    of generating therefrom a first set of points representing the three-dimensional profile of the non-planar surface relative to a planar reference surface, wherein the processor is arranged to fit to the first set of points, a second set of points representative of a developable mesh and to use the second set of points to texture-map the image in order to de-warp the image.
