Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: storing multi-view automultiscopic image content of a multi-view image including an image scene or two-dimensional slice in an electronic memory; reducing the visibility of one or more artifacts from the multi-view automultiscopic image content by modifying the multi-view automultiscopic image content based upon shearing the multi-view automultiscopic image content globally, followed by shearing the multi-view automultiscopic image content locally, the local shearing further reducing the visibility of the one or more artifacts as compared with the global shearing, and followed by stitching of repeated fragments of the multi-view automultiscopic image content, the stitching including determining an optimal stitch cut in a gradient domain based upon overlapping repeated fragments of the multi-view automultiscopic image content, the stitching performing a further additional reduction of the visibility of the one or more artifacts as compared with the local shearing; and based upon the modification of the multi-view automultiscopic image content, providing one or more updated multi-view images with improved visibility as compared with the multi-view image, at least with respect to the one or more artifacts.
