Abstract

An image registration system for determining a relative location of a first pattern and a second pattern includes a fiducial having a fiducial origin, a first side, and a second side. A first camera captures a first fiducial image of the first side of the fiducial and the fiducial origin and a first pattern image of the first printed pattern. A second camera captures a second fiducial image of the second side of the fiducial and a second pattern image of the second printed pattern. An image registration controller processes the first fiducial image, the first pattern image, the second pattern image, and the second fiducial image to determine the relative location of the first pattern and the second pattern.
