Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for simulating physical movement of a digital image. The apparatus includes an input receiving module, a calculation module, and a output module. The input receiving module is configured to receive a position input identifying a physical unit of measure. The calculation module is configured to correlate the physical unit of measurement to a position of a image positioning coordinate. The output module is configured to output the position of the image positioning coordinate.

An apparatus to simulate physical movement of a digital image, the apparatus comprising:
- an input receiving module configured to receive a position input;
- a calculation module configured to correlate the position input to a position of a pixel position in a digital image of a physical specimen with a physical x-coordinate on the physical specimen by dividing a width of the physical specimen by a total number of virtual pixel positions in an x-axis to obtain an x-axis correlation;
- wherein the calculation module correlates a virtual y-coordinate of a virtual pixel position in the digital image of the physical specimen with a physical y-coordinate on the physical specimen by dividing a height of the physical specimen by a total number of virtual pixel positions in a y-axis to obtain a y-axis correlation;
- and
- an output module configured to output the position of the image positioning coordinate.
A system to simulate physical movement of a digital image, the system comprising:
- a position input unit configured to send a position input identifying a physical unit of measure to an input receiving module in response to a physical movement of the position input unit;
- an input receiving module configured to receive the position input;
- a calculation module configured to correlate the position input to a position of an image positioning coordinate;
- wherein the calculation module correlates a virtual x-coordinate of a virtual pixel position in a digital image of a physical specimen with a physical x-coordinate on the physical specimen by dividing a width of the physical specimen by a total number of virtual pixel positions in an x-axis to obtain an x-axis correlation;
- wherein the calculation module correlates a virtual y-coordinate of a virtual pixel position in the digital image of the physical specimen with a physical y-coordinate on the physical specimen by dividing a height of the physical specimen by a total number of virtual pixel positions in a y-axis to obtain a y-axis correlation;
- and
- an output module configured to output the position of the image positioning coordinate.
At least one computer storage device storing computer-executable instructions for simulating physical movement of a digital image of a physical specimen, the operations of the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform actions comprising:
- receiving a position input;
- correlating the position input to a position of an image positioning coordinate, wherein a virtual x-coordinate of a virtual pixel position in the digital image is correlated with a physical x-coordinate on the physical specimen by dividing a width of a physical specimen by a total number of virtual pixel positions in an x-axis to obtain an x-axis correlation;
- wherein a virtual y-coordinate of a virtual pixel position in the digital image is correlated with a physical y-coordinate on the physical specimen by dividing a height of the physical specimen by a total number of virtual pixel positions in a y-axis to obtain a y-axis correlation;
- and
- outputing the position of the image positioning coordinate.
