Abstract
A composite image is generated from partially overlapping adjacent images taken at a single location along a plurality of axes. The angular relation among the overlapping images is initially determined based upon a common pattern in an overlapping portion of the images. The overlapping images are each converted to with respect to one of the images selected as a standard image based upon the previously determined angular relation.
