Abstract
A method is provided for selecting a transparency setting and color values of pixels in a virtual image. The virtual image can be formed by combining reference images taken at different angles to produce the virtual image that views an object at a new, uncaptured angle. The method includes determining for each pixel of the virtual image, what information it carries from the reference view images. The information of the pixel is used to define a pixel category, and the category is used to select, based on logical conditions, what information will be displayed by the pixel and to set the color of the pixels.
