Abstract:
A device, comprising:an arrangement including at least one of a separator stage separating a data captured image into partial images and a combiner stage recombining the partial images into a resultant image, at least one of the separator stage and the combiner stage including partial-data buffers buffering partial-image data of the partial images, the partial-image data including redundantly buffered information for at least one particular image of the partial images which is adjacent to another one of the partial images, wherein the arrangement filters the partial-image data to generate artifacts, and wherein, if the arrangement includes the combiner stage of the at least one of the separator stage and the combiner stage then when the combiner stage recombines the partial images into the resultant image using at least one data portion of the partial-image data, the artifacts are provided outside of areas of at least one image of the partial image which corresponds to the at least one data portion.
