Abstract:
1. An image processing technique comprising the steps of: (a) stretching an original image in the Y-direction (vertical) by a factor falling within the range of 2-10% to produce a stretched version of the original image; selecting a fixation point and disordering the stretched version of the original image centering the disordering operation around the fixation point to form a disordered, stretched version of the original image; and rotating the disordered, stretched version of the original image through an angle falling within the range 3-9° to form a rotated, disordered and stretched version of the original image; (b) stretching a copy of the original image in the X-direction (horizontal) by a factor falling within the range of 2-10% to form a second stretched version of the original image; and selecting an area of the second stretched version of the original image around the selected fixation point; and (c) merging the selected area of the second stretched version of the original image formed in step (b) with the rotated, disordered and stretched version of the original image formed in step (a).
