Abstract

A system mitigates transitions among pixels a mosaic image. The system uses two balancing adjustments and an easing transition adjustment. The first balancing adjustment uses a histogram to remap the pixels in the mosaic to a normal distribution. The second balancing adjustment minimizes transitions between adjacent individual images in the mosaic based on pixels positions of edge pixels and intensity differences between edge pixels in the adjacent images. The easing transitions adjustment modifies the intensity of a target pixel as a function of a radius from the target pixel, the distance between the target pixel and a nearest neighbor pixel, and an intensity difference between the nearest neighbor pixel and a pixel adjacent to the nearest neighbor pixel. A revised mosaic image is created as a function of the first balancing adjustment, the second balancing adjustment, and the easing transition adjustment.
