  • Digital image manipulation
    Patent number: 9396569
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method for seamlessly replacing areas in a digital image with corresponding data from temporally close digital images depicting substantially the same scene. The method uses localized image registration error minimization over a fixed preliminary boundary. A least cost closed path which constitutes a boundary for the area to be replaced is calculated using dynamic programming. The replacement area is blended such that image data information from one image is seamlessly replaced with image data information from another image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 19, 2016
    Assignee: Mobile Imaging in Sweden AB
    Inventors: Alexander Lindskog, Gustaf Pettersson, Ulf Holmstedt, Johan Windmark, Sami Niemi
