Abstract

Conventional image editing software in combination with other techniques are not only difficult to apply to an image but also permits a user to perform some basic functions one at a time. However, image processing algorithms and photogrammetric systems are developed in the recent past for real-time pattern recognition applications. A graphical user interface (GUI) is developed which can perform multiple functions simultaneously for the analysis and estimation of geometric distortion in an image with reference to the corresponding distorted image. The GUI measure, record, and visualize the performance metric of X/Y coordinates of one image over the other. The various keys and icons provided in the utility extracts the coordinates of distortion free reference image and the image with geometric distortion. The error between these two corresponding points gives the measure of distortion and also used to evaluate the correction parameters for image distortion. As the GUI interface minimizes human interference in the process of geometric correction, its execution just requires use of icons and keys provided in the utility; this technique gives swift and accurate results as compared to other conventional methods for the measurement of the X/Y coordinates of an image.
