Abstract
A method for generating an augmented reality image from first and second images, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the first and the second image is captured from a real scene, the method comprising: identifying a confidence region in which a confident determination as to which of the first and second image to render in that region of the augmented reality image can be made; identifying an uncertainty region in which it is uncertain as to which of the first and second image to render in that region of the augmented reality image; determining at least one blending factor value in the uncertainty region based upon a similarity between a first colour value in the uncertainty region and a second colour value in the confidence region; and generating an augmented reality image by combining, in the uncertainty region, the first and second images using the at least one blending factor value.
