Excerpt
Excerpt 1. An image transformation system for performing image transformation processing on an input image by reading input image data into a storage means, performing mapping on orthogonal coordinates of the input image data to generate modified orthogonal coordinates, and forming an output image by reading said image data from said storage means according to said modified orthogonal coordinates; wherein said output image that results from said transformation processing appears as a kaleidoscopically rearranged version of said input image, not merely a rotated version of said input image; and wherein said mapping is performed by a mapping means, said mapping means comprising: |

Claims
1
A method, comprising:
selecting a first center point for a first portion of an image;
copying said first portion, centered about said first center point, to a buffer; and
inverting said copied first portion about a first edge of said portion.
Relevance
Verbage of the inverting of the image is different, but method very similar to Claim 1 of prior art (see excerpt above).
