System for establishing references for multi-image stitching

摘要

An imaging system for generating multiple images includes a first imaging device and a second imaging device. The first imaging device includes a sensor and has a first optical path from an object to the sensor for generating a first object image. The second imaging device includes a sensor and has a first optical path from an object to the sensor for generating a second object image. At least one of the first imaging device and the second imaging device includes a second optical path from an external reference marker to its sensor for generating a reference image. The reference image indicates positioning of the first imaging device or the second imaging device.
