Patent ID: 7120289

Claim:
A method of generating frequency component image data representative of image information of a plurality of different spatial frequencies of an image of at least part of a subject from a predefined view, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of images comprising image data representative of a subject from a plurality of view points; determining from said plurality of received images the relative positions of the viewpoints of the subject represented by said images; determining from said plurality of images and said determined positions, model data representative of the surface of said subject; for each of said plurality of received images, determining frequency component image data representative of image information of a plurality of different spatial frequencies within said received images and determining projections of said frequency component image data projected to said predefined view utilizing said position data and said model data of the surface of said subject; and for each of said plurality of different spatial frequencies, utilizing said projections of frequency component image data to generate frequency component image data representative of spatial frequency information of an image of at least part of said subject from said predefined view.
