Abstract

See full text

A method and system for processing light sources found in images. A base photographic image of a scene is combined with N additional photographic images of the scene to form a composite image including M discrete light sources (N≧2; M≧N). The scene in the base image is exposed to ambient light. The scene of the base image is exposed, in each of the N additional images, to the ambient light and to at least one discrete light source to which the base image is not exposed. The M discrete light sources in the composite image include the discrete light sources to which the scene is exposed in the N additional images. The composite image is displayed on a display device, depicting a region surrounding each discrete light source and having an area that correlates with an intensity of light from the discrete light source surrounded by the region.
