Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for image composition. Certain embodiments include acquiring a first image of an object using an imager, obtaining first positional information for the imager with respect to the object, acquiring a second image of the object using the imager, obtaining second positional information for the imager with respect to the object, and creating a composed image using the first and second images. A spatial relationship between the images is maintained using the positional information. A composed image may be created by constructing a memory map of image data related to the object and inserting the images into the memory map based on the positional information, for example. A composed image may be created by combining the images based on the positional information, for example.
