Abstract
Locating of points of interest in an impaired image derived from video processing of a reference image is achieved by generating an impairment map for the impaired image. Then a cross-fade is performed between the impaired image and the impairment map so that points of interest indicated by the impairment map are accurately located on the impaired image.
