Abstract
Certain disclosed implementations use digital image processing to reduce the differential resolution among separations or images in film frames, such as, for example, red flare. A location in the red image may be selected using information from another image. The selected location may be modified using information from that other image. The selection may include comparing features of an edge in the first image with features of a corresponding edge in the other image. The modification may include performing wavelet transformations of the two images and copying certain coefficients (or a function of these coefficients) produced by the application of the transformation to the second image to the coefficients produced by the application of the transformation to the first image. The copied coefficients may be correlated with the selected location. Other disclosed techniques vary from the above and may be applied to other fields.

50. A method comprising:
-
accessing a first image of a scene, the first image including a first region;
accessing a second image of at least a portion of the scene, the second image including a second region that corresponds to the first region;
identifying a feature that is in both the first region and the second region;
determining, based on the first image, a first set of data characterizing a particular aspect of the feature;
determining, based on the second image, a second set of data characterizing the particular aspect of the feature;
selecting one or more data elements of the second set of data; and
modifying each of the selected one or more data elements of the second set of data based on corresponding data elements of the first set of data. - View Dependent Claims (51)

52. A method comprising:
-
accessing a first image of a scene;
determining, based on the first image, a property for a first region that is in the first image;
accessing a second image of at least a portion of the scene;
determining, based on the second image, the property for a second region that is in the second image and that corresponds to the first region; and
modifying the property for the second region based on the property for the first region. - View Dependent Claims (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70)

71. An apparatus comprising a computer readable medium that includes instructions for performing at least the following:
-
accessing a first image of a scene;
determining, based on the first image, a property for a first region that is in the first image;
accessing a second image of at least a portion of the scene;
determining, based on the second image, the property for a second region that is in the second image and that corresponds to the first region; and

72. An apparatus having stored thereon data enabling presentation of a scene, the apparatus comprising:
-
data enabling presentation of first information for the scene, the first information including a feature, an aspect of the feature characterized by a first set of data; and
data enabling presentation of second information for the scene, the second information also including the feature, the aspect of the feature also characterized by a second set of data having particular data elements based on the second information and having other data elements based on corresponding data elements of the first set of data.
