Abstract
A method for edge mapping images for use in image processing. Edge mapping includes identifying base and non-base color components. A search window in the base color component is opened and the non-base color components are compared with the base component picture. The number of matched or unmatched edge points is then calculated. The best match can then be determined through testing or manual selection.
