Patent ID: 8559667

Claim:
A method for generating a holographic image, the method comprising: segmenting a product image into a plurality of image regions; wherein coupon data for a coupon comprises the product image and one or more text regions; for each image region of the plurality of image regions: evaluating a first property of said each image region and a second property of said each image region, wherein evaluating the first property and the second property includes evaluating one or more of a: luminance, contrast, variance, color, hue, and brightness of said each image region; assigning a weighted value to said each image region, wherein the weighted value is determined based, in part, on a first result of the evaluation of the first property and a second result of the evaluation of the second property of said each image region; selecting a particular image region with the highest weighted value of the plurality of image regions; blending the particular image region over a predetermined portion, of the coupon, that includes a text region of the one or more text regions; wherein blending the particular image region adds a holographic image of the particular image region to a portion of the coupon that includes the text region; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
