  • Publication number: 20070092152
    Abstract: A user provides a plurality of digital images of a single subject all taken from a single location and with common camera settings. This set of digital images is parsed one pixel location at a time. For each pixel location, a set of pixel colors is extracted from each of the plurality of digital images. For each of these pixel colors, a relationship parameter to each of the other pixel colors in the set is calculated. Using this relationship parameter information, the final desired pixel color is chosen and applied to the pixel location in a final image.
