Method and system for automatic determination of registration accuracy

A system for automatic determination of registration accuracy between a first image of a first object and a second image of the first object, comprising:

• a scanner configured to identify a first image element in the first object by scanning the first image sequentially by image unit, the scanner further configured to identify a second image element in the first object by scanning the second image sequentially by the image unit;
• and
• a processor coupled to the scanner and configured to register the first image element to the second image element in a shared background coordinate space, the processor further configured to determine an accuracy of the registering by relating the first image element and the second image element to the shared background coordinate space, calculate a first distance between the first image element and a nearest point in the shared background coordinate space, and calculate a second distance between the second image element and the nearest point in the shared background coordinate space, the processor further configured to calculate a difference between the first distance and the second distance.
