发明名称 Enhanced techniques for visual image alignment of a multi-layered document composition
摘要 A system and method for enabling visual processing of selected objects in a complex document. The system and method enhance the visibility of certain selected objects or layers in a document, and attenuates the visibility of the remaining objects or layers. This is accomplished by selecting a portion of an input image according to a pre-determined criteria, applying a first image modification scheme to the selected portion of the image to produce a first modified portion of the image, applying a second image modification scheme to a non-selected portion of the image to produce a second modified portion of the image, and displaying the image as a combination of the first modified portion and the second modified portion.

主权项 1. A method for processing an image comprising: providing the image that comprises a composite image comprising a first layer and a second layer; selecting automatically by a determining unit only a portion of the image, comprising the first layer, according to a predetermined criterion comprising a customized scheme, wherein the customized scheme comprises a preset list of predetermined criteria based information that is input by a user into a series of fields that the user regards as distinguishable with respect to a particular image; applying a first image modification scheme to the portion of the image that is selected, which includes the first layer of the image, to produce a first modified portion of the image; applying a second image modification scheme to a non-selected portion of the image, which includes at least one layer other than the first layer in the image, to produce a second modified portion of the image, the second image modification scheme being different from the first image modification scheme; and displaying the image as a combination of the first modified portion and the second modified portion, wherein the first modified portion is sharper in focus as compared to the portion of the image that is selected, wherein a degree of modification for each of a plurality of multiple layers in the first image modification scheme is determined based upon a relative distance between the each of the plurality of the multiple layers and the first layer so that the each of the plurality of the multiple layers which have different distances from the first layer have differing degrees of modifications.
