Abstract
A method for processing multiple digital images using an imaging input device so as to reduce bleeding of edges of the multiple digital images by determining the boundaries of each of the digital images, including detecting a boundary of a first image; detecting a boundary of a second image; determining an overlap between the detected boundaries of the first image and second images; calculating the overlap between the first and second images and modeling a third image from the calculated overlap of the first and second images wherein the third image contains at least said first and second images and represents a depiction of said first and second images without an overlap between said first and second images.

A method for processing multiple digital images using an imaging input device so as to reduce bleeding of edges of the multiple digital images by determining the boundaries of each of the multiple digital images, comprising:
- detecting a boundary of a first image;
- detecting a boundary of a second image;
- determining an overlap between the detected boundaries of the first image and second images;
- and modeling a third image from the calculated overlap of the first and second images wherein the third image contains at least said first and second images and represents a depiction of said first and second images without an overlap between said first and second images;
- calculating the overlap between the first and second images
A method for processing multiple digital images using an imaging input device so as to reduce bleeding of contour edges of the multiple digital images by generating an object defined by contour edges of particular sets of the multiple digital images, comprising:
- detecting a set of edges of a first object;
- detecting a set of edges of a second object;
- determining an overlap between the detected set of edges of the first and second objects;
- calculating the overlap between the set of edges of the first and second objects;
- and
- modeling a third object by ascertaining the calculated overlap of the first and second objects wherein the third object contains at least said first and second objects without an overlap of the set of edges of the first and second objects.
