ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for transforming graphical images. Graphical images are adapted by the present invention to be applied to a three-dimensional topography of a substrate. After the image is applied to the substrate, the image then appears in proportion and conforms to the (topography of the substrate. In an embodiment, the present invention comprises a method for creating at least one transformed graphical image. The topography of a substrate is measured by using a digitizing apparatus to obtain at least one image of the topography of a measurement article. The digitizing apparatus comprises at least one sensor that is electronically interconnected with a computer memory. The at least one image of the measurement article is transmitted into the computer memory. A graphical image is transformed in computer memory in accordance with the measurements of the topography of the measurement article to result in a transformed graphical image.
