Abstract
A method and associated apparatus for relating a test image with a reference image in an automated image processing system is disclosed. The test and reference images are aligned. A two-dimensional scatter plot is then created by plotting the gray level of a test image pixel against the gray level of a corresponding reference image pixel for each aligned pixel location.
