Multi-modality image correlation
This invention is comprised of an apparatus and method for location by location correlation of multiple images for Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and other sources. Multiple images of a material specimen are displayed on one or more monitors of an interactive graphics system. Specimen landmarks are located in each image and mapping functions from a reference image to each other image are calculated using the landmark locations. A location selected by positioning a cursor in the reference image is mapped to the other images and location identifiers are simultaneously displayed in those images. Movement of the cursor in the references image causes simultaneous movement of the location identifiers in the other images to positions corresponding to the location of the reference image cursor.
