  • Patent number: 6618494
    Abstract: A system and method for digital x-ray imaging may correct distortion in a digital image by determining the cell size of a grid. A rotational correction may be applied to the cell to correct for distortion that might result from improper alignment between an imaging sensor used to capture the image and the image itself. Stretch factors for the pixels are calculated and applied to the cells of the grid to provide cells of consistent size. The calculated stretch factors may be applied to subsequent images to provide an efficient method for optical distortion correction.
