Abstract

One embodiment of a method for finding an aim position of a measuring device may include building a color model for an imaging device, initializing a color encoding image, displaying or printing the image on the imaging device, acquiring measurement with the measuring device, converting the measurement into imaging device code values using the color model, calculating said aim position from said device code values. The color encoding image sets one-to-one relationship between coordinates and colors. The image is output on the imaging device and measured by the measuring device. The measurement is converted using the color model to the device code values. The aim position then calculated from position of the device code values in the encoding image.
