Image blending by feature overwrite

This paper describes a new image compositing algorithm that can properly blend images whose features have a high aspect ratio. Although several techniques have been used in image compositing, none of them works well for images whose features have a high aspect ratio. This compositing algorithm is a simulation on 2D projected space, of the physical phenomena of underlying 3D models. Our algorithm consists of the three steps. First, the images are composited using a multiresolution technique. Second, the features of each image are extracted. Finally, the features are overwritten to the composited image. This method makes it possible to composite hair or fur naturally.
