Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for generating masking image using general polygonal mask includes receiving a pixel of a raw image and a polygon vertices array corresponding to a polygonal mask, determining whether the pixel is inside the polygonal mask, labeling the pixel to be a masked pixel if the pixel is inside the polygonal mask, or labeling the pixel to be a visible pixel if the pixel is outside the polygonal mask, and outputting the masked pixel or the visible pixel to generate the masking image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for generating a masking image using a general polygonal mask, comprising: receiving a pixel of a raw image and a polygon vertices array corresponding to a polygonal mask; determining whether the pixel is inside the polygonal mask; labeling the pixel to be a masked pixel if the pixel is inside the polygonal mask, or labeling the pixel to be a visible pixel if the pixel is outside the polygonal mask; and outputting the masked pixel or the visib…
