Apparatus and method for combining several sub-images for any imaging surface areas

A method of providing an image of a subarea of an object on the basis of a plurality of input images, comprising:

• defining first, second and third parameters on the basis of the subarea of the object;
• receiving image data of first input images, the input image comprising a subarea of the object which comprises any geometry and arrangement;
• processing the image data of the first input images into a first intermediate image as a function of the first predefined parameter for geometrically aligning the first input images;
• providing the first intermediate image;
• receiving image data of second input images;
• processing the image data of the second input images into a second intermediate image as a function of the second predefined parameter for geometrically aligning the second input images;
• providing the second intermediate image;
• processing the image data of the first intermediate image and of the second intermediate image into the image as a function of the third predefined parameter for geometrically aligning the intermediate images;
• and
• providing the image.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program code for performing the method of providing an image of a subarea of an object on the basis of a plurality of input images, the method comprising:

• defining first, second and third parameters on the basis of the subarea of the object;
• receiving image data of first input images, the input image comprising a subarea of the object which comprises any geometry and arrangement;
• processing the image data of the first input images into a first intermediate image as a function of the first predefined parameter for geometrically aligning the first input images;
• providing the first intermediate image;
• receiving image data of second input images;
• processing the image data of the second input images into a second intermediate image as a function of the second predefined parameter for geometrically aligning the second input images;
• providing the second intermediate image;
• processing the image data of the first intermediate image and of the second intermediate image into the image as a function of the third predefined parameter for geometrically aligning the intermediate images;
• and
• providing the image,
• when the program code is executed on a computer.
