Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a plurality of digital input images of a same scene, wherein the digital input images comprise corresponding pixel arrays; for each set of corresponding pixels from the corresponding pixel arrays: assigning a weight to each pixel in the set of corresponding pixels via a weight distribution function, comprising: analyzing values of an image characteristic for the pixels in the set of corresponding pixels to determine a relationship among the values of the image characteristic; altering the weight distribution function based on the determined relationship; applying the altered weight distribution function to the value of the image characteristic for each pixel in the set of corresponding pixels to determine the weight assigned to the pixel; and deriving a new pixel value for a new pixel in a new digital image based on modifying the pixel value for each pixel in the set of corresponding pixels depending on the weight assigned to the pixel.
