“Viewfinder Overlay” refers to a graphical element, display aid, or interface presented on a display of a device, such as a mobile device, camera, or imaging system, that assists a user in capturing an image. A viewfinder overlay may provide alignment cues, boundary indicators, targeting reticles, crosshairs, grids, framing boxes, shading, highlighting, or other visual markers, or the like, to guide the positioning of a subject within a field of view. In certain embodiments, a viewfinder overlay may be used during capture of a radiographic image displayed on a screen to ensure that the radiograph is properly aligned, centered, and scaled relative to the device’s camera. A viewfinder overlay may be static or dynamic, may change appearance in response to detected motion or alignment, and may provide visual, auditory, or haptic feedback to the user. Examples include overlays that change color when alignment is achieved, gridlines that indicate perspective or scale, or bounding boxes that indicate when an image of interest is positioned within a capture region, or the like.
