Abstract: A method for producing a composite electronic image of a subject comprises the steps of converting a set of representations of the first images into an another set of representations of the first image which are dependent upon the size information defined by the representations of the foreground and background frames; and combining the converted images with the foreground image using the reference points. This method can also be used to combine the sound data and a sequence of frame images.
