Abstract
A method of combining a first image of a first region and a second image of a second region, having an overlapping region therebetween. The method including determining a superposed image as a weighted superposition of the first image and the second image in the overlap region, transforming the first image and the second image on the basis of a comparison of at least one of the first image and the second image with the determined superposed image; determining a further superposed image from the transformed first image and the transformed second image; and generating an overall image from the further superposed image when at least one convergence criterion is satisfied.
