Abstract

A method and system are provided for processing image content. In one embodiment the method comprises receiving a plurality of captured contents showing same scene as captured by one or more cameras having a different focal length and depth maps and generating a consensus cube by obtaining depth map estimations from said received contents. The visibility of different objects in then analysed to create a soft visibility cube that provides visibility information about each content. A color cube is then generated by using information from the consensus and soft visibility cube. The color cube is then used to combine different received contents and generate a single image for the plurality of contents received.
