1. An image transformation system for transforming a source image having source image pixel data associated with a source pixel array having an origin into a target image having target image pixel data associated with a target pixel array according to an image transformation, said system comprising: (a) a memory for storing the source image pixel data and the image transformation; (b) a processor coupled to said memory for retrieving the source image pixel data and the image transformation; (c) said processor being further adapted to: (i) apply the image transformation to the source image pixel data to generate transformed image pixel data; (ii) compare the transformed image pixel data to the target pixel array and determine the portion of the transformed image pixel data that fits within the target pixel array; (iii) identify the portion of the source image pixel data that corresponds to the portion of the transformed image pixel data determined in (ii); and (iv) apply the image transformation to the portion of the source image pixel data determined in (iii) to generate the target image pixel data.
