The trick is that you want the image coordinates in *screen* coordinates, not printer coordinates. The image coordinates will be screen coordinates if you obtain the imgheight/imgwidth by multipying the figure height/width by 80, not 100. The DPI won't matter if you are manually setting the height/width in the img tag. Alternatively, you could set dpi=80 and skip the imgheight/imgwidth entries altogether (and reformat the vertices correctly for the imagemap input without using the imgheight...). If for some reason you want the displayed image to be larger/smaller than the selected size (here 4inx4in), multiply the matplotlib coordinates by the ratio of the image scaling factor and 80. Ie in your example, multiply the coordinates by 100./80. to obtain the correct coordinates for the image size that you have chosen (here 400pix/400pix instead of the 'natural' size of 320x320 based upon the PNG being a 4"x4" image).
