Abstract
A method and system for generating an output image from a plurality, N, of corresponding input image channels is described. A Jacobian matrix of the plurality of corresponding input image channels is determined. The principal characteristic vector of the outer product of the Jacobian matrix is calculated. The sign associated with the principal characteristic vector is set whereby an input image channel pixel projected by the principal characteristic vector results in a positive scalar value. The output image as a per-pixel projection of the input channels in the direction of the principal characteristic vector is generated.
