Abstract
Statistically-based image blending methods and systems for pasting a plurality of digital sub-images together into a single final pasted image are described herein. One embodiment comprises methods for blending a plurality of digital sub-images together into a single pasted image, comprising utilizing a statistically-based image blending technique to blend pixel intensities of at least two digital sub-images together to create a single pasted image thereof. In embodiments, the statistically-based image blending technique comprises utilizing the pixel intensities themselves, instead of utilizing only the locations of the pixel intensities, to blend the pixel intensities of the at least two digital sub-images together. Computer-readable mediums encoded with programming for blending a plurality of digital sub-images together into a single pasted image, and digital radiographic imaging systems comprising such programming, are also described.
