System and method of visual orientation

A visual orientation system, said system comprises,

• a first image;
• a sequence of second images;
• a transformation unit which generates an image transformation from at least a portion of said second images and at least a portion of said first image, said image transformation transforming said second images into relevant pixels of said reference image;
• and
• a combination image of said first image and a frame indicating a location of a current second image within said first image.

A method for visual orientation, the method comprising the steps of:

• storing a reference image;
• capturing a sequence of second images;
• when said second images overlap with at least a portion of said reference image, generating an image transformation from one or more pixels from said second images and one or more pixels of said reference image, said image transformation transforming said second images into relevant pixels of the reference image;
• and
• continuously displaying said reference image, a currently captured second image, and a frame indicating location of said currently viewed second image within said reference image.

A visual orientation system comprising:

• a storage device which stores a reference image captured by a vision sensing device;
• a camera which captures a sequence of second images;
• a transformation unit which generates an image transformation from one or more pixels of said reference image and one or more pixels of said second images, said image transformation effecting a zoom in from said second image to a portion of said reference image;
• and
• display means which displays said reference image, said second image currently viewed by said camera and a frame indicating location of said currently viewed second image within said reference image.
