Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for computing an alpha channel value are provided. In one embodiment, a set of parameters is obtained based on an effect (transformation) to be applied to a source image. A value is also obtained that defines a uniform width of an area that borders at least one boundary of the transformed source image in the target image. For a target image pixel coordinate in the area, a corresponding source pixel coordinate is computed that is within another non-uniform area bordering the source image. An alpha channel value defining semi-transparency of a pixel associated with the target image pixel coordinate is computed as a function of a location of the corresponding source pixel coordinate in the another area bordering the source image.
