ABSTRACT:
A method for enhancing objects of interest represented on a moving background in a sequence of noisy images, and for displaying the sequence of enhanced images, the method comprising the steps of acquiring the sequence of images, extracting features related to an object of interest on a background in images from the sequence of acquired images or processed images, said features comprising at least two separately identified parts, registering separately each identified part with respect to an image from the sequence of acquired images, while not registering the background around said identified parts, to generate registered images of said identified parts, assembling together all registered identified parts from said object of interest using a weighted combination of said registered identified parts, to generate assembled images, integrating both said object of interest and said background over at least one assembled image and one acquired image, and displaying the processed images of the enhanced object of interest on faded background.
