Abstract

The invention relates to the quantitative analysis and/or visualization (virtual or real) of moving processes and to the detection, description, correction and the comparison of global movements inside the image space. The invention particularly relates to a method and device for precisely and, while being limited to few parameters, quantitatively describing the global and local movement occurring in the image space and for the single representation of the movement of the quantitative parameters with regard to the image space. A rough to fine recording and a detection of and compensation for global movements occurs whereby enabling a tracking and a corrected visualization. The detection of the movement, which corresponds as precisely as possible to the real movement occurring in the image space is effected by a splines a plaques minces recording technique that enables the number of movement parameters to be kept low. A fully automatic execution of all partial steps is made possible.
