Making a scanner with a DSLR

[SURF]

Thank you, Peter!

By "geometry and mircrogeometery" do you mean size distortions from stitching?

Sure. :-) I've just found a better term for that: warping. It happened that I hate warped images. And stitching often produces a lot of warping. Looks like it is not an easy task to fight them.

"This headache inducing illusion is simply a static image of a green background with a series of blue dots, however when you look at it the whole thing appears to move and warp in a wave-like fashion."

By "profile" do you mean a template for stitching?

Not really. There are no perfect lenses and the profile can correct each shot distortions, thus eliminating warping in stitch.

Why I asked about camera mount is because it's very hard to place it exactly to the same position.
