  • Publication number: 20120078088
    Abstract: A system comprising a convergent parameter instrument and a laser digital image projector for obtaining a surface map of a target anatomical surface, obtaining images of that surface from a module of the convergent parameter instrument, applying pixel mapping algorithms to impute three dimensional coordinate data from the surface map to a two dimensional image obtained through the convergent parameter instrument, projecting images from the convergent parameter instrument onto the target anatomical surface as a medical reference, and applying a skew correction algorithm to the image.
