REPLACING IMAGE INFORMATION IN A CAPTURED IMAGE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for replacing image information in an image comprising:
- obtaining an image of a scene;
obtaining a depth map of the scene;
defining a depth surface in the depth map, wherein the depth surface includes at least two different depth values;
defining at least one portion of the image based on the depth surface; and
replacing the at least one portion of the image with selected image information.
