Abstract

The object of the invention is a method for synchronizing image data obtained from process monitoring cameras. By utilizing synchronization, one and the same area in a paper web can be sought as it passed the different camera positions. Since the speed are high and the webs somewhat stretching, synchronization does not often directly result in the same area being shown in the different camera positions. To facilitate search, a selection area corresponding to the limited number of sequential images in the environment of the point of synchronization of each camera position is visualized for the operator, inside which area the corresponding area in the web can be found with certainty.
