Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for processing a digital image. In some embodiments, a digital image may be output to a display. A scope overlay may be provided that includes a cursor window, a viewing window having a fixed size relative to the display, and a target source size. The viewing window may be calibrated according to the target source size to generate an image scale factor. In some embodiments, the calibrating may include correlating a section of the viewing window to the target source size, and calculating a ratio of the target source size to a display size of the section of the viewing window to generate the image scale factor. A portion of the digital image may then be displayed within the viewing window of the scope overlay, and the portion of the digital image may be scaled according to the image scale factor.
