Method and device to compose an image by eliminating one or more moving objects

An image capturing device for composing an image by eliminating at least one moving object, the image capturing device comprising:

• an integrated circuit including at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory having a computer program code within said circuit,
• wherein said at least one memory and said computer program code with a processing module causes an image capturing module to capture a plurality of images;
• causes said processing module to:
• generate a background image with a plurality of stationary objects after aligning said plurality of captured images,
• select a base image from a plurality of said aligned images, wherein said base image is selected based on a highest similarity measure with said background image;
• identify said at least one moving object in said base image;
• and
• eliminate said identified at least one moving object in said base image to compose said image.

A computer program product comprising computer executable program code recorded on a computer readable non-transitory storage medium, the computer executable program code, when executed, causing actions including:

• capturing a plurality of images;
• generating a background image with a plurality of stationary objects after aligning said plurality of captured images;
• selecting a base image from a plurality of said aligned images, wherein said base image is selected based on a highest similarity measure with said background image;
• identifying said at least one moving object in said base image;
• and
• eliminating said identified at least one moving object in said base image to compose said image.
