METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UTILIZING REPRESENTATIONAL IMAGES IN ANALYTICAL ACTIVITIES

摘要

In a method and apparatus for performing an analysis [16] and other activities using one or more two-or three-dimensional representational images [2], presenting a two-or three-dimensional representational image [2] containing analytical information to assist in the analytical process. One or more two-or three-dimensional representational images [2] are created, e.g., using standard photography, holography or computer imaging, and are placed in a positioner for use by the analyst. The representational images are illuminated using a light source [32] and the analyst utilizes the information released from the representational image to perform an analysis.
