METHOD FOR INTEGRATING DIGITAL HALF-TONE IMAGES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G06T5/50 G06K9/46 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method includes steps of obtaining source images and determining the most informative image. Further, the method includes integrating images based on combination of the most informative image and distinctive features of a second image, and levelling the brightness range of the resultant image. Image integration includes determining an estimate of linear regression coefficients of brightness values of the second image from brightness values of the most informative image. Further, the method includes forming an intermediate image as a result of linear transformation of the most informative image with the found coefficients and finding an integrated image by adding to the most informative image the difference between the second and intermediate images, multiplied by an adjusting factor.

EFFECT: high quality of an image containing information-bearing elements of images of the same scene.
