Abstract
A method of processing batches of object-part-image data representing object-part images which are taken by one or more image-taking devices from parts of an object, respectively, and thereby obtaining one or more optical characteristic values of the object, the object-part images imaging the parts of the object such that a first object-part image images a first part and a second object-part image images a second part adjacent to the first part in the object and includes an overlapping portion imaging a portion of the first part, each of the batches of object-part-image data including optical characteristic values respectively associated with physical positions, and thereby defining a corresponding one of physical screens, the method including the steps of designating at least one virtual position on a virtual screen corresponding to the parts of the object, modifying, based on predetermined modifying data, the at least one virtual position on the virtual screen, and thereby determining at least one physical position corresponding to the at least one virtual position, on one of the physical screens, and obtaining at least one optical characteristic value associated with the at leas…
