I have an array of coordinates that reflects known positions in the image. Let me call this template image. It has a unique barcode and orientation markers (which are also in the coordinate array).
The image is printed, scanned and returned back to my application for detection. During printing and scanning, the image can be converted in three ways; translation, rotation and scale.
Assuming I can find orientation markers on a distorted image, how can I use matrix transformation to get the relative positions of the remaining coordinates?
I posted this question on SO before , but made it too complicated to understand what I wanted.
