Method, an apparatus, a system and a computer program for transferring scan geometry between subsequent scans
First Claim
1. A method for transferring scan geometry from a first scan to a second scan for similar regions, the method comprising the acts of:
- loading an overview scan of an object comprising a first region and a second region;
identifying the first region and the second region in the overview scan;
determining a first scan geometry corresponding to the first region;
transferring by a processor the first scan geometry into a second scan geometry corresponding to the second region using information on geometrical correspondence between the first region and the second region,wherein a weighting factor is used to distinguish between samples of scan geometries and the first scan geometry for determining the second scan geometry.

Abstract
A method, an apparatus and a computer program for transferring scan geometry between a first region and a second region, similar to the first region includes identifying the first and second regions in an overview image, followed by determining of the first scan geometry corresponding to the first region. Then, the first scan geometry is transferred into the second scan geometry corresponding to the second region using information on geometrical correspondence between the first and second regions. The transferring includes establishing corresponding mappings between similar regions and their respective scan geometries.
