1. A method of automatically generating one or more new images using an original image, comprising:
- acquiring one or more reference images that are temporally or spatially related to the original image;
determining sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions of the one or more reference images;
determining sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions in the original image;
performing comparisons of the sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions in the original image with the sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions of the one or more reference images;
based, at least in part, on the performed comparisons, automatically detecting and selecting, within a digital image acquisition device, one or more groups of pixels that correspond to a background region or a foreground region, or both within the original image; and
automatically generating values of pixels of one or more new images based on the selected one or more groups of pixels from the original image to cause the background region or foreground region, or both to be present in the one or more new images.

Abstract
A method of generating one or more new digital images using an original digitally-acquired image including a selected image feature includes identifying within a digital image acquisition device one or more groups of pixels that correspond to the selected image feature based on information from one or more preview images. A portion of the original image is selected that includes the one or more groups of pixels. The technique includes automatically generating values of pixels of one or more new images based on the selected portion in a manner which includes the selected image feature within the one or more new images.

7. One or more non-transitory processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied thereon, said processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method of automatically generating one or more new images using an original digitally-acquired image including a background region or a foreground region, or both, the method comprising:
-
acquiring one or more reference images that are temporally or spatially related to the original image; determining sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions of the one or more reference images; determining sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions in the original image; performing comparisons of the sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions in the original image with the sums of high-order DCT coefficients of one or more regions of the one or more reference images; based, at least in part, on the performed comparisons, automatically detecting and selecting, within a digital image acquisition device, one or more groups of pixels that correspond to a background region or a foreground region, or both within the original image; and automatically generating values of pixels of one or more new images based on the selected one or more groups of pixels from the original image to cause the background region or foreground region, or both to be present in the one or more new images. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
