Abstract
A method and system that obscures image features in a region of interest designated by a user. An operator designates a special shaped region of interest and a computer convolves a specially designed kernel with the image data in the region. The kernel is designed to pull features outside the region into the region while combining the information within the region with the information pulled from outside. The kernel can be designed to correspond to the shape of the region for efficient computation. Once the region of interest is obscured the image is printed resulting in a print that does not include undesirable features.
