Abstract
A method for merging layers of multi-plane image (MPI) includes steps (1) to (5). Step (1) includes determining a layer-weight array by, for each of D1 image-layers each located at a respective one of D1 layer-depths, determining a respective total weight as an element-wise sum of a weighting-factor array of the image-layer. Step (2) includes interpolating the layer-weight array to yield an interpolated layer-weight signal. Step (3) includes partitioning the interpolated layer-weight signal into D2<D1 segments to yield D2 optimized layer-depth intervals. Step (4) includes determining, for each optimized layer-depth interval. (i) intra-interval layer-depths, of the D1 layer-depths, located within the optimized layer-depth interval; and (ii) corresponding intra-interval layer weights, of the D1 total weights. Step (5) includes determining, for each of the D2 optimized layer-depth intervals, a respective output layer-depth as an average of the intra-interval layer-depths each weighted by a respective intra-interval layer weight.
