Method for determining a transformation of coordinates of different images of an object
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a transformation of coordinates of a plurality of different images of an object, comprising:
- assigning a landmark to the object;
identifying the landmark in the different images of the object;
determining elements in a transformation matrix based on the landmark;
determining remaining elements in the transformation matrix with a position alignment not based on the landmark if the landmark is not found or the remaining elements cannot be determined by the landmark; and
computing the transformation of coordinates using the transformation matrix.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for registering images of an object according to which a landmark that is common to the images is first identified, and the transformations in relation to the remaining degrees of freedom are determined by means of a position alignment that is not based on the landmark.

16. A device for determining a transformation of coordinates of a plurality of different images of an object having a landmark, the landmark being identified in the different images, comprising:
-
a display unit that displays the different images; and a computing unit that computes the transformation of coordinates by determining a transformation matrix, wherein the transformation matrix comprises elements based on the landmark and elements determined by a position alignment not based on the landmark if the landmark is not found or the remaining elements cannot be determined by the landmark.
