Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9519093A1] An object (18) is imaged from a plurality of spaced apart locations (16), having known relative positions with respect to each other, to generate a plurality of sequences of images of the object taken from different points of view (17). These images are displayable to the user, or are manipulated by a processor (22) under user direction (24) using the known relative position information, to construct a displayable individual image or sequence of images of the object as if taken from a user selected point of view (33) different from any of the taken points of view. The generated images or the constructed images are further processable under user control to facilitate zoom in and zoom out on the imaged object, and removal of unwanted portions of an image.
