ABSTRACT:
A system for taking a sequence of images and converting them to a single composite image that contains the combined visual information of the defects found in the source images. The source images are aligned and manipulated, if necessary, such that they can be superimposed together. Optional image processing steps are applied to further enhance the defects. Both the number of input images and the algorithm used to combine these images can be adjusted to allow an observer to see a persistent display of the defects found in the images. Status, diagnostic and defect information, consisting of graphics and textual messages, are then applied to the composite image for display.
