Abstract
A digital image composition method is adapted to eliminate a ghost image produced by a digital image-capturing apparatus due to handshakes in shooting. The method includes the steps. In a pre-shooting process, a base image and a comparison image are respectively captured. A base pixel is selected from the base image, and a core window is set with the base pixel at the center. A comparison pixel is selected from the comparison image, and a search window is set with the comparison pixel at the center. Each area of the search window is compared through the core window, and an absolute error sum value between the base image and the comparison image is calculated. It is determined how to change the brightness of the base pixel according to the normalized region difference value. The above steps are repeated to adjust each pixel in the base image.
