Abstract: Example embodiments include a method that reduces consumption of computer resources in a computer system to reconstruct a shape of a multi-object image using finite terms. The method includes computing an initial function by performing V-system of degree 0 and functions of curves by performing hierarchical V-system. Norms of the functions of curves are compared with a predetermined threshold. A reconstruction function of the shape of the multi-object image is generated by summing the initial function and the functions of curves.

Abstract: A method for creating an image includes identifying data representing an overlapping region in each of a first set and second set of image data, wherein the first and second sets of image data are arranged to represent a first image and a second image respectively, and at least one common feature in both the first image and the second image is identified in the overlapping region. A portion of the data representing a portion of the overlapping region in each of the first and the second sets of image data is discarded to obtain a first set and a second set of modified image data. The first and the second sets of modified image data are combined to a third set of image data arranged to represent a third image including at least a portion of each of the first image and the second image.
