Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for image processing include a registration device configured to register component images for at least a block of an image to form a registered image. A quality control device is configured to receive the registered image, examine the registered image, and modify portions of the registered image to improve the alignment of the registered image. In one embodiment of the present invention, the quality control device includes user controls to perform quality control functions including communicating a command to the registration device to re-register an image modified by the quality control device. The user controls may include a control panel configured specifically for making the quality improvement changes required.
