Abstract
A method for removing a portion of a foreground of an image comprises determining a portion of a foreground to remove from a reference image, determining a plurality of source views of a background obscured in the reference image, determining a correlated portion in each source view corresponding to the portion of the foreground to remove, and displaying the correlated portion in the reference image.
Claims15
A method for removing a portion of a foreground of an image comprising the steps of:
- determining a portion of a foreground to remove from a reference image;
- determining a plurality of source views of a background obscured in the reference image;
- determining a correlated portion in each source view corresponding to the portion of the foreground to remove;
- and
- displaying the correlated portion in the reference image.
A method for removing a portion of a foreground of an image comprising the steps of:
- determining a plurality of calibrated images comprising a reference image and a plurality of source images;
- determining a set of three-dimensional coordinates of the portion of the foreground;
- determining a frustum going through a plane parallel to a reference image plane defined by the portion of the foreground;
- determining a plurality of virtual planes at different depths within the frustum;
- determining a virtual image of the portion of the foreground in each source view;
- determining a homography between the virtual image and the source image for each source image;
- determining a correlation for each virtual image among the plurality of source images;
- and
- superimposing a virtual image having a desirable correlation over the portion of the foreground.
A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for removing a portion of a foreground of an image, the method steps comprising:
- determining a portion of a foreground to remove from a reference image;
- determining a plurality of source views of a background obscured in the reference image;
- determining a correlated portion in each source view corresponding to the portion of the foreground to remove;
- and
- displaying the correlated portion in the reference image.
