ABSTRACT:
A system and method for creating a panoramic projection of a volumetric image of an object is disclosed. A virtual camera is placed in a center of a cubic space within the object. Images obtained from the camera are projected onto a single plane. A front image is mapped in a window at a center of the plane. A left, right, top and bottom image of the cubic space are mapped around the rectangular window such that the left, right, top and bottom images form a continuous image surrounding the rectangular window.
