Abstract
A key signal extracted from a first original image and the first original image are subjected to an image processing, the processed first original image and a second original image are mixed using the processed key signal to provide a new composite image of which the quality can be prevented from being effectively deteriorated.
Claims9
An image composing method in which a first image and a second image are mixed using a key information to compose a new image, comprising:
- a key information generating step of generating a key information from a specific color of the first original image;
- a first image processing step of subjecting the first original image to a predetermined image processing;
- a second image processing step of subjecting the generated key information to the image processing;
- and
- an image mixing step of mixing the processed first image and the second original image together using the processed key information.
An image composing apparatus in which a first image and a second image are mixed using a key information to compose a new image, comprising:
- means for generating a key information from a specific color of the first original image;
- means for subjecting the first original image and the generated key information to a predetermined image processing;
- and
- means for mixing the processed first image and the second original image together using the processed key information.
An information processing system in which an image data is generated based on a control information supplied from an input device and displayed as an image on a display unit, comprising:
- means for generating a key information from a specific color of a first original image;
- means for subjecting the first original image and generated key information to a predetermined image processing;
- and
- means for mixing the processed first original image and a second original image together using the processed key information.
