ABSTRACT:
The invention is a system or method for aligning images (the “system”). A definition subsystem, including a first image, a second image, one or more target reference points, one or more template reference points, and a geometrical object. The definition subsystem identifies one or more target reference points associated with the first image and one or more template reference points associated with the second image by providing a geometrical object for positioning the first image in relation to the second image. A combination subsystem is configured to generate an aligned image from the first image and second image. An interface subsystem may be used to facilitate interactions between a user and the system.
