Abstract

When recording an image sequence, it is possible to deviate from passing through a perfect curve path. There is described how an alternative curve path can be determined. An envelope is determined, a point is determined, which is the center point of the region of interest and then the detector is moved such that it is at right angles in each instance to a line which emanates from the point and simultaneously touches the envelope tangentially. As a result, the region of interest is mapped as optimally as possible in the image sequence so that as good a 3D reconstruction as possible can be obtained.
