Abstract
A computer implemented method cross-fades intensities of a plurality of overlapping images by identifying pixels in a target image that are only produced by a first source image. The weights of all the corresponding pixels in the first source image are set to one. Pixels in a second source images contributing to the target image are similarly identified and set to one. the weight of each remaining pixel in the first and second images is inversely proportional to a distance to a nearest pixel having a weight of one. Then, the first and second source image can be projected to form the target image.
