Points Preferences (Image Registration)


Use the options on this page to control the settings for calculating and appltying the image registration.

Defining and Drawing Markers

Other parameters can be set for point tracking and drawing the markers. These are handled in the Marker Preferences dialog. The preferences for markers used in image registration are described below:

Choosing Sample Radius and Tracking Radius

Centroiding on Positive and Negative Points

Centroid positions are computed using image data, not the screen display. Choose Positivepoints or Negative points based upon the type of object to measure rather than the palette or other image display attributes. For modern, inherently digital images, you will almost always choose Positive points. For scanned photographs, however, you may be working with a negative image and would choose the NegativePoints option.
