Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method, which can comprise automatically rendering an improved image of a target object. The improved image obtained based upon a principal mode of the target object. The principal mode of the target object can be provided to an algorithm that is adapted to derive the improved image of the target object.
