Abstract

In one implementation, a method includes obtaining, for a particular pixel of an image, a real pixel value and a virtual pixel value. The method includes obtaining, for the particular pixel of the image, a first alpha and a second alpha. The method includes generating, for the particular pixel of the image, a combined pixel value as a weighted average of the real pixel value and the virtual pixel value, the weighting being based on at least one of the first alpha and the second alpha.
