Reuse of image processing information

摘要

A content editor application receives a reference map that indicates which portions of a first image are foreground, and which portions of the first image are background. The content editor compares a coloration of regions in the first image to a coloration of regions in the second image. For regions in the second image that match a coloration of corresponding regions in the first image, or that are within a threshold range of coloration, the content editor uses the reference map to mark regions of the second image that are foreground and to mark which regions of the second image are background. Accordingly, the reference map of the first image can be used to identify whether regions of a second image or subsequent images in a sequence are foreground and which are background.

1. A method comprising:
analyzing attributes of a first image; based on the analyzing, creating a first mask indicating which regions of the first image represent foreground and which regions of the first image represent background; and based on an analysis of the first mask with respect to a second image, creating a second mask indicating which regions of the second image represent foreground and which regions of the second image represent background; and wherein creating the first mask includes indicating which regions of the first image are not of a background color but which are aberrations to be considered part of the background; and wherein creating the second mask includes utilizing the first mask to identify a presence of aberrations in the second image.
